Dr. med. Filip Barinka

Dr. Filip Barinka worked as a senior physician at the Centre for Geriatric Medicine at the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the University of Regensburg. Here he was able to acquire the additional specialist qualification in geriatrics and gain a great deal of experience in the treatment of patients with dementia. After moving to Zurich in December 2018, Dr. Barinka worked as deputy head of the Stroke Center Hirslanden and was primarily involved in the treatment of patients with various types of stroke. In the course of this, he helped to establish the area of geriatric neurology at the Hirslanden Neurology Clinic and became head of the newly founded Center for Geriatric Neurology (March 2021). He quickly succeeded in establishing an officially certified Memory Clinic, of which he became co-director. Among other things, he was one of the first in Switzerland to treat patients with Alzheimer's disease with the latest drugs that act directly on the "amyloid" deposits typical of Alzheimer's in the brain. Since April 1, 2023, Dr. Barinka has been working in his own practice and is pleased to offer you a comprehensive and precise examination, assessment and treatment of neurological diseases, especially in the field of geriatric neurology, in cooperation and close networking with colleagues in the SCNSI. At the same time, Dr. Barinka offers specialized assessment and treatment of memory disorders and other cognitive disorders in the memory consultation in collaboration with the Zurich Centre for Behavioural Neuropsychology (ZVNZ).
