Reception:

Hello, welcome to the Földiklinik.

Managing Director

The Földiklinik is one of the leading clinics in the field of lymphology and is well known far beyond Germany's borders.

Patient 3

When I come to the Földiklinik, it always feels like a bit of time out that I take for myself.

Therapist

The patient is the main focus, and the problems the patient has. I think carefully about who needs what.

Managing Director

I also find it very remarkable what Professor and Mrs Földi have built up here; it's their life's work, you can feel that.

Prof. Földi

What is really sensible, what is really helpful for the patients.

Patient

For me, my first stay at the Földiklinik was a game-changer.

Therapist

We don't treat oedemas, we treat patients.

Patient 4

Yes, I simply feel comfortable here; that already means a lot.

Managing Director

It's wonderful to see how much passion the staff put into their work and how they consider what we can do for the patient so that they feel comfortable and like coming here.

Head of Nursing

I believe communication and exchange among colleagues, as well as transparency and a sense of togetherness, are simply important.

Prof. Földi

And this working atmosphere is about being there for one another, and then we can all be there for our patients.

Senior Physician

Being able to really restore life and quality, and to help patients return to lives where they feel comfortable, is truly wonderful.

Patient 1

That's what I take away from here: regaining my self-confidence, standing tall again and saying, 'Come on — life can go on'.

Further information

Treatment

Embedded in an internal medicine overall concept, Complex Physical Decongestion Therapy (KPE) is today the recognised foundation of conservative lymphoedema treatment. Prof. Dr. Michael and Prof. Dr. Etelka Földi have devoted their lives to lymphology. The expertise of the Földi team is in demand worldwide.

We are committed to providing the best possible treatment to people affected by lymphological conditions. Day after day. We live lymphology — since 1979.

Further information

Patients

The Földi Clinic treats patients with diseases of the lymphatic system of all severities. Your treating physician (usually your GP) submits an application for rehabilitation to the responsible funding body, requesting that you be treated at the Földi Clinic. For those in employment the pension insurance provider is usually responsible; otherwise it is the health insurance fund.
