About Prof. Wolfgang Auffermann
Prof. Wolfgang Auffermann is a Consultant Interventional Radiologist at Dr. Sulaiman Al Habib Medical Group in Dubai. He holds German Board certifications in both Radiology and Neuroradiology, and completed fellowships at the University of California San Francisco and Charité University Hospital Berlin. He has held a professorship at Hamburg University, bringing deep expertise in image-guided minimally invasive treatment.
Prof. Auffermann's practice centres on comprehensive diagnostic imaging and needle-based treatment of the spine, including disc herniation, spinal tumours, infections, and fractures. He performs image-guided biopsies and ablations (heat or chemical destruction) of tumours in the lungs, liver, kidneys, and bones. He also specialises in pain-relief injections around nerves and the spine, vessel embolisation (blocking blood supply to tumours), and drainage of abscesses and fluid collections.
He is an excellent fit for patients seeking non-surgical or minimally invasive answers to spine pain, nerve compression, and tumour management, particularly those referred by their primary doctor for specialist imaging-guided intervention.
Special interests: spinal pathology and intervention, tumour ablation, nerve blocks and denervation, endovascular embolisation, musculoskeletal imaging and intervention.
A good choice if you…
- ✓need minimally invasive spine treatment or tumour ablation
- ✓suffer from chronic spine or nerve pain managed by injection
- ✓require image-guided biopsy or drainage of internal collections
