About me

Hello, my name is Susanne von der Heydt. I am a pediatric surgeon and mother of 4 children. To have healthy, happy children it takes so much! Child-centered medicine is just one part of it. Every child is unique and always challenges us at every age. I look forward to caring for your children and you with my medical expertise, as well as my experience as a mother.
