ANNEMARIE NIJBOER M.D. Ph.D.
Dr. Annemarie Nijboer is our general and cosmetic surgeon, with almost 20 years of experience.
Dr. Nijboer studied medicine at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen (the Netherlands) and at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia (USA). She then completed her surgical training at the University Medical Center in Groningen (the Netherlands), the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane (Australia) and the Isala Klinieken in Zwolle (the Netherlands). After completing her surgical training, Dr. Nijboer returned to the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Brisbane for a surgical fellowship. In 2012 she joined the Department of General and Visceral surgery of the University Hospital in Frankfurt am Main (Germany).
In need of a new challenge (and a better quality of life), she became part of the surgical team of M1 Med Beauty in 2016, taking care of M1’s Frankfurt practice. After two years, the opportunity to switch to Zurich was happily accepted. Four years followed as a surgeon / medical director of the M1 practice in Zurich. Grateful for the wonderful time with both M1’s customers and colleagues, the need for a new challenge developed again; this time to own a practice, where Dr. Nijboer once again assumes the role of medical director.
During her surgical training, Dr. Nijboer acquired both in-depth specialist knowledge and extensive operational skills in the entire field of surgery. From early on, one focus was breast surgery in patients with and without cancer, as well as a wide range of intra-abdominal interventions, abdominal wall and hernia surgery, and many procedures in trauma and reconstructive surgery.
Dr. Nijboer firmly believes in the principle of ‘giving back’ and besides day dreaming about all the opportunities to do good both in and with the new practice, she is a respected member of a Pro Interplast surgical team that is involved in humanitarian missions in third world countries.
RICHARD LINKE M.D.
Dr Linke studied human medicine at the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main and as part of the final practical part of his studies, he spent several months in Switzerland. Following his studies, Dr Linke began his surgical training in the Department of General, Visceral and Transplant Surgery at the University Hospital Frankfurt am Main in 2012 after a stay abroad in Sydney and Brisbane. After obtaining the specialist title “Visceral Surgery” and working as a specialist surgeon at the university hospital, Dr Linke began additional surgical training to become a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery. He completed this further training in the Department of Plastic, Aesthetic and Reconstructive Surgery at the Ev. Krankenhaus Göttingen-Weende and subsequently in the Department of Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Hand Surgery, Centre for Severe Burn Injuries at the Sana Klinikum Offenbach am Main.
Thanks to his broad surgical training, Dr Linke not only acquired comprehensive specialist knowledge, but also sound surgical skills in particular. As part of his commitment to the German Organ Transplantation Foundation (DSO), Dr Linke contributed to improving the situation for people on the organ waiting lists.
Through continuous participation in various workshops and further training courses, including for non-surgical treatments such as injections, he has also gained extensive expertise in this field.
For Dr Linke, patients and their individual concerns and wishes are always at the centre of his professional work. He therefore fits in perfectly with our goal of taking a holistic approach to patients and supporting them individually to feel natural and comfortable in their bodies.
