karenadams448If you’re looking for a doctor who is familiar with the “English way” of doing things, then you may have discovered that the options can be somewhat limited in this region.

Whilst there are plenty of English-speaking doctors, there are few that are familiar with the practices of UK doctors and the National Health Service.  For those of you wishing to compare the treatments available here with those in the UK, it can be extremely useful to discuss the various options available with somebody who understands the issue from both sides.

Helping to bridge this gap is a UK-trained doctor called Dr. Karen Hofmann, recently arrived in the area at the end of last year. Dr. Hofmann has just opened a new practice at a cabinet in Begnins (near Nyon). Her services will complement those of swiss doctors Raimondi and Bischoff-Tieche, allowing for medical cover throughout the week. 

Qualified at St. George’s Hospital medical school, London University in 1989, and having practiced as a GP partner in the UK for 8 years, Karen will continue to offer a general medical service, but with a special interest in women’s health (and will do smear tests).   A mother of three boys, aged 9, 7 and 3, Dr. Hofmann is sensitive to the needs of children and will see babies and youngsters of all ages.

Fluent in English and French, Karen currently works 50% of the time, on Tuesdays and Fridays from 8am to 6pm, and on Wednesday mornings from 8am to 12 noon.
