Dr Urs Zellweger
I’ve have been practising my profession with great dedication and enthusiasm since 1990 – and I’m just as passionate about it to this day.
I have been married to my long-term partner Bettina since July 2010 and our little Jack Russel lady, Shyra, has been part of our family since 2007.
My interests include our country, politics, sports, vintage cars and wine. I’m passionate about cooking and I enjoy fine dining in the company of good friends.
Motto: think positive. There’s no such thing as impossible! Optimism is a virtue of mine.
