Biography

About Dr. Hotz

Portrait of Dr. Hotz

With over 30 years of experience in heart medicine, Dr. Holger Hotz has extensive clinical and cardiac surgical expertise. At the age of 32, he became Senior Physician in Cardiac Surgery at Charité, Universitätsmedizin Berlin, one of Germany’s largest university hospitals. Since then, he has treated thousands of patients.

Today, his treatment approach combines established high-tech medicine with innovative bio-cardiology methods. Modern heart medicine does not always require highly invasive procedures; whenever possible,
Dr. Hotz prioritizes preventive, non-invasive, and gentle approaches. This unique synergy forms an integrative therapy concept designed to activate the body’s innate self-healing potential. The goal is simple: to avoid surgery wherever possible. For a good, long, and heart-healthy life.
