Konrad Jurina
DVM, DiplECVN
Konrad Jurina
Dr. Konrad Jurina qualified from the Free University of Berlin in 1991. He worked as a university assistant at the Small Animal Clinic of Berlin and finished his thesis on a neurosurgical and radiological topic. In 1995 he went to the Small Animal Clinic of the University of Leipzig, where he was responsible for neurology and neurosurgery, as well as teaching. In 2000 he became the head of the MRI unit. Since 2003 he was co-founder of the „Tierklinik Haar“, a small animal second opinion clinic close to Munich. Since 2017 he is managing director for AniCura in this hospital.
His focus is on neurology and neurosurgery as well as advanced imaging techniques. He is responsible for the MRI and CT.
Why neurology?
In neurology and neurosurgery, I like the logical and structural approach in evaluating neurologic diseases in animals.
It is a mixture of using your mind and your hands in treating the patient. It is really rewarding, seeing a dog suffering from a disc disease walking out of the clinic sometime after surgery.
