    Many thanks to Prof. Schmitt-Opitz and the entire team at the Thorax Clinic! I always felt that I was in the best of hands - both professionally and personally. I can recommend the Department of Thoracic Surgery in every aspect.

    I was diagnosed with lung cancer in June 2025 and was operated on at the USZ in the Thoracic Surgery Clinic by Dr. Didier Schneiter and his team. It was an excellent experience from A to Z. I can only recommend this clinic and its doctors and nursing staff and rate it with 5 plus stars.

    A few days ago, I was in the Department of Thoracic Surgery at the USZ and was able to witness every day how Prof. Schmitt-Opitz and her team care for their patients. Both the medical and the human/empathic competence are impressive. A very big thank you and even bigger compliment to the clinic and the USZ
