Dr. Annalisa Rizzo

I am a FMH (Swiss Medical Association) board certified Gynecologist specialized in Fetal Medicine.

I started my professional journey in Italy at the University Hospital of Pavia - one of the oldest medical training institutions of the world - and I then moved to London for a 2 years fellowship aimed at perfecting my skills in Obstetric Ultrasound and high-risk pregnancy management. During this experience, I had the pleasure to train with Professor Kypros Nicolaides at the Fetal Medicine Foundation, a key opinion leader in the sector and inventor of Down Syndrome screening via ultrasound.

In 2018, I relocated to Switzerland and started working at the University Hospital of Geneva. Since then, I have worked as a "Cheffe de Clinique/Oberärztin" at the Cantonal Hospital of Fribourg and Sion, in Canton Valais.

Over the years, I have developed in-depth expertise in: Obstetric and Gynecological counseling and ultrasound, prenatal diagnostic (both invasive and non-invasive), family planning and sexual health.

My native language is Italian and I am fluent in French and English. I am very happy to start working in Dr Wagner's praxis and look forward to meeting you in my consultation.
