Dr Ruth Pignat

Trained at the Faculty of Medicine in Geneva, I have been practicing for many years as an FMH doctor in the city of Geneva. In addition, I completed a Diploma in Acupuncture and Auriculotherapy, “AFC: Attestation de Formation Complémentaire en Acupuncture et Médecine Traditionnelle Chinoise”, recognized by the FMH. Acupuncture and auriculotherapy can provide relief on a number of levels for patients undergoing oncology treatment. They can provide invaluable help in mitigating the side effects of chemotherapy, and in managing the stress often associated with these treatments. These disciplines can also help relieve pain and play an important role in recovery from major surgical and medical treatments.
