In Hergiswil Since 2011
Our Urologie Zentrum Hergiswil offers a broad range of modern urological medicine: from preventive screening and diagnostics to vasectomy and circumcision, through to precise MRI/ultrasound fusion biopsy of the prostate and minimally invasive treatment of benign prostate enlargement. We also, of course, cover urology for women as well as assessment of male hormone levels and unfulfilled wishes to have children. Dr. Hoffmann additionally offers urological support for cyclists, while Dr. Thomas brings an additional specialisation in the medical treatment of urological tumours.

Our Approach
Good treatment, for us, begins with careful diagnostics. We only recommend examinations and treatments that are medically justified and that we can carry out with the necessary experience and expertise.
Openness is part of how we practise medicine. We stand by our mistakes and speak transparently about the possibilities and limits of our experience. If a treatment falls outside our expertise, we refer our patients to appropriately qualified colleagues.
A Smooth Transition
On 1 January 2027, Dr. med. Maximilian Thomas will take over Dr. Oswald's share of the practice ahead of Dr. Oswald's upcoming retirement.
After professional stages including at University Hospital Düsseldorf, in Munich and at Aarau Cantonal Hospital, Dr. Thomas most recently worked as a urologist in Basel, Rheinfelden and Liestal. He also worked as a visiting consultant at University Hospital Basel, GZF Rheinfelden Hospital and Merian Iselin Clinic, in Basel.
Dr. Oswald will remain with Urologie Zentrum Hergiswil throughout 2027 as an employed urologist, ensuring a personal, carefully coordinated transition for our patients.
Our three doctors are supported by an experienced team of seven staff members. Besides German, consultations are also available in English, French, Italian, Russian and Polish.
