Smell and taste

Ever since the coronavirus pandemic, it has been clear that our sense of smell and taste is susceptible to various external influences.

Disorders of this very important sense for humans are correspondingly frequent. Olfactory disorders often occur in the context of inflammatory diseases, after viral infections or after traumatic brain injury. In unclear cases, our olfactory consultation team is at your disposal. Here, an up-to-date and detailed assessment can be carried out and personal advice provided.
