Founder (1945–2022)
Friedrich Douwes M.D.
Dr. Friedrich Douwes founded St. George Hospital in 1991 in Bad Aibling, so that conventional medicine and the complementary therapies he had seen work would be practiced in one building, by one team, with one chart. His fields were integrative oncology and Lyme disease. He used whole-body hyperthermia in cancer treatment from the hospital's early years, and the Lyme program began in 1995, after he observed the effect of whole-body hyperthermia on a Borrelia infection in a cancer patient. The hospital has treated more than 12,000 Lyme patients since.
Collaborative care
One team for each patient
Each patient's treatment plan is written by the lead physician from the work-up and discussed with the specialists whose fields it touches: infectiology, neurorehabilitation and complementary oncology under Dr. Julian Douwes, who develops the treatment protocols, with Chief Physician Dr. Martin Rößner responsible for daily clinical care, and psychosomatic medicine with Dr. Godau. Dr. Götte contributes to the tumor board; his own clinical practice, like Dr. Holzhauer’s, is for German patients only. Shared diagnostics from the hospital's own laboratory and one chart per patient keep everyone on the same findings.
The international care team runs the chronic Lyme disease program, the Long COVID and ME/CFS program, the integrative oncology program and the whole-body hyperthermia program. If you would like to know which physician would lead your case, send a short inquiry; the International Office replies and requests your records if they are needed.
