Daniel “Dan” Pohl
With a background in sports, rehabilitation and over 25 years of experience supporting people with orthopedic and neurological conditions, Dan Pohl understands the difference the right care can make. After working with thousands of injured clients in Canada, he experienced the limits of public healthcare firsthand — when his own mother needed a hip replacement.
From personal experience to expert guidance
In search of true quality care, Dan turned to Dr. Steens and the ONZ team in Germany. Within four weeks, his 74-year-old mother received surgery and began a structured, intensive rehabilitation program — walking pain-free just three weeks later.
Today, Dan supports international patients in making the same journey: informed, efficient, and built on trust. With both professional and personal insight, he is your dedicated contact at ONZ.
