Cinzia Bonvecchio M.D
ANAESTHESIOLOGIST - PAIN DOCTOR
ACUPUNCTURIST - CHINESE MEDICINE DOCTOR - LONGEVITY MEDICINE
Medicine has always been my passion. Since I was eighteen I’ve been spending my time in medical environments: first as a volunteer, and ultimately as a doctor. During my education and my work experience I’ve never stopped asking myself what kind of doctor I want to be and I have always tried to mold myself around my patients’ needs. I’m a caring and empathetic physician, an excellent listener and communicator. I’m very interested in pain management, palliative care, integrative medicine, wellbeing and longevity. I believe it is fundamental to stay focused and constantly updated on the latest techniques and research. The person, the patient, his health and his psychophysical well-being are the focus of my work. My goal is to educate people to take care of themself and improve the quality of life through the widest therapeutic choice, built on knowledge, experience and scientific solidity.
