Study

Dr. Eppstein studied human medicine at the University of Tübingen from 1998 to 2004. His experimental doctoral thesis on atherosclerosis of blood vessels was awarded the highest possible grade, “magna cum laude,” early on underscoring his scientific aspirations.

This broad surgical training still forms the stable foundation of his precise operative technique today.
