HENRY DAMKROEGER, M.D.
Henry Damkroeger, M. D., whose office is on Golden Gate avenue, has been engaged in
the practice of medicine since 1888. He
was born in San Francisco, California, in 1865, the son of
Gottlieb D. Damkroeger, a native of Prussia, Germany, who was a resident of
this city from the early ‘60s.
Henry, our subject, received his early
education in the public schools of San Francisco, and in 1886 commenced
the study of medicine, entering the Hahnemann Hospital Homeopathic College, graduating at that
institution in 1888, after a full course of three years, and receiving his
degree of Doctor of Medicine. He at once
entered into the practice of his profession, passing the first year as a resident
physician of the Hahnemann Hospital. He now holds the chair of Lecturer on Minor
Surgery and Demonstrator of Anatomy for that college. Dr. Damkroeger is a member of the California
State Homeopathic Medical Society. He is
essentially a self-made man, having carried himself through his professional
studies by his own exertions and earnings.
While engaged in the general practice of his profession, the Doctor pays
special attention to surgery. Since August
1, 1891,
he has been a resident of Modesto, Stanislaus county.
