In the middle of Schaffhausen’s old town, we offer our guests a small but fine 3-star hotel with 42 rooms and suites, rooms for events of all kinds and a city wellness with saunas and steam baths. The heart of the Kronenhof, however, is the varied, uncomplicated and always lively gastronomy.

The lovingly restored façade of the former guildhall just a stone’s throw away from the railway station makes Hotel Rüden an unmissable sight.

Introduction

A consultant plastic surgeon with day clinic in Zurich and practices in St. Moritz and Schaffhausen. Dominik accomplished his surgical proficiency and training among others at State University New York (Long Island), MD Anderson and Hermann Hospital in Houston, Texas, as well as University Clinic Berne, Mount Vernon Hospital London and Friedrich Alexander University Clinic of Erlangen-Nuremberg.
He spends his free time in his farm with his Shagya Arabian horses and his dogs and cats.
He’s living his best life together with his wife Sandra, blending his passions for plastic surgery, especially in the area of aesthetic and reconstructive facial surgery, his passion for research and commitment to excellence, which by the way is engraved in his family motto (“excellence for power”), his passion for farming and beautifying the world, one face (and horse) at a time.

Introduction

The woman who can handle more. As the wife of Dominik Feinendegen, Sandra is the essence and driving force behind it all. Having been educated and trained at the University of St. Andrews, Scotland and having worked in international relations worldwide,  she doesn’t just manage the clinic and patient relations, as well as often assists Dominik in the theatre when needed or designs the website — she also keeps her plastic surgeon in check, runs a farm, and somehow finds time to keep two South African dogs as well as Shagya Arabian horses in line. Currently, she is on the finishing line of her PhD at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich about the history of the facelift.  Sandra is a resilient, passionate, true multitasking marvel, seamlessly shifting between the world of aesthetic perfection and the reality of farm life. Never one to shy away from hard work, Sandra is the kind of person who can steal a horse and teach it how to look fabulous in the same day.

Introduction

Meet Pia Rahm – the lead theatre nurse of Dominik Feinendegen.
Pia excels at her job. She has got a sixth sense for anticipating needs, whether it’s prepping instruments, calming nerves, or predicting the surgeon’s next move. She is the kind of person who would run through the rain just to make sure the patients feel comfortable, while somehow managing to keep a smile on her face. If there is one person who is keeping the heart of the operating room alive, it is Pia—always ahead of the game.
Despite her demanding job, Pia commutes daily from Schaffhausen and cherishes her time with her husband and son. She also pursues her passion for running.

Introduction

Your all-in-one, smile-spreading, schedule-juggling and insurance-warfaring personal assistant of Dominik Feinendegen.

Zora is the first face you see when you walk in, always ready with a smile, no matter if you’re 20 minutes late or 40 minutes early.

Zora has a sixth sense for knowing exactly how to manage the plastic surgeon’s schedule, balance the clinic’s books and deal with insurance companies like a seasoned diplomat.

And when the workday winds down? Zora is just getting started—she spends her free time curled up with her dog, walking the beautiful shores of lake Zurich.
