The Institute

What started as a practice has become an institute

Founded by Dr. Dr. Henri Thuau, IKG–ZUG has evolved over more than a decade from a trusted practice into a specialist institute guided by a clear clinical vision. With the establishment of the Institut für Kiefer- und Gesichtschirurgie and the appointment of Dr. Dr. Yasmin Thiel as Owner and Lead Surgeon, the next chapter begins: broader expertise, a stronger network, and a lasting commitment to specialist care in Central Switzerland and beyond.

At the heart of the institute lies a clear conviction: medicine should be comprehensive, evidence-based and personalised. That is why we look beyond individual symptoms and consider the person within the broader context of their health. This results in a treatment approach that takes into account not only the original concern, but also the underlying factors.

An evolution in name and scope. A continuity in clinical conviction.

Our Philosophy

We treat the whole person, not just individual symptoms

At IKG–ZUG, every consultation is given the time it deserves. We take a broad and considered approach, looking at both the medical details of your case and the wider context of your life, concerns, and goals.

You leave with clarity and a treatment plan tailored to you.

Designed to ease anxiety around treatment

Many patients feel tense when visiting a doctor. That is why, at IKG–ZUG, we deliberately design every step to create calm, safety, and trust from the very beginning. As a result, many of our patients already feel noticeably more at ease before treatment even starts.

One surgeon – Your entire case

One dedicated surgeon guides your care from first consultation through to aftercare, with a clear understanding of your history, needs, and priorities throughout.

You leave knowing what comes next

After every appointment, you understand the findings, what they mean, and the next steps – clearly explained, in plain language.

I hadn’t expected my surgeon to get in touch with me personally the morning after the operation. This phone call gave me a tremendous sense of reassurance and showed me that I’m not just being treated well here, but truly looked after.
