Xpert Clinic

What Xpert Clinic does

Xpert Clinics is a Dutch specialized healthcare provider focused almost entirely on the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of hand and wrist conditions. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in Almelo, the company operates 31 clinic locations across the Netherlands, with six designated as main branches, offering same-day combined appointments with hand surgeons, hand-specialized physiotherapists, and occupational therapists. Beyond its core hand and wrist care practice, Xpert Clinics selectively provides orthopedics, proctology, ophthalmology, and gynecology at specific sites, functioning as a multi-specialty clinic operator under one operational umbrella.

The company's service architecture combines in-person clinical care with digital patient-facing tools, including online appointment booking (booking.xpertclinics.nl), a patient portal (Mijn Xpert Clinics), and native iOS and Android applications. Patient pathways are built around the Dutch healthcare system: a referral from a general practitioner triggers full reimbursement by Dutch health insurance, leaving patients responsible only for the standard annual deductible. The model emphasizes short wait times (1-15 days across locations) and integrated multidisciplinary teams, with reputation supported by a 9 out of 10 patient rating on Zorgkaart Nederland based on 3,600 reviews.

Xpert Clinics operates as a subsidiary of Equipe Zorgbedrijven, a strategic parent that owns multiple specialized Dutch clinic chains, and is a member of Zelfstandige Klinieken Nederland (ZKN). Growth has been driven primarily by a roll-up strategy, exemplified by the May 2024 acquisition of HandsOnCare which added three clinics, and by organic greenfield expansion, with two new clinics planned in Friesland and Drenthe in July-August 2025 to complete national coverage.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• Andros Clinics: Dutch independent specialty clinic group focused on men's health and adjacent specialties, operating under similar insurance-reimbursed specialist care model. Comparable ZBC structure and GP-referral dynamics.
• Pulvertaft Hand Centre: UK-based specialist hand and wrist treatment centre with a similar single-specialty focus on hand/wrist care. Comparable clinical model and patient pathway, though operating in the NHS rather than Dutch insurance reimbursement system.

Others

• Zelfstandige Klinieken Nederland (ZKN): Dutch industry association for independent clinics of which Xpert Clinics is a member. Not a direct peer but a relevant ecosystem organization representing the ZBC sector in which Xpert operates.
• Equipe Zorgbedrijven: Parent company of Xpert Clinics, operating multiple specialized clinic chains in the Netherlands including hand/wrist care. Provides strategic capital, shared back-office, and potential platform for further specialty roll-ups.

Emerging players

• Oogziekenhuis Zonnestraal: Specialized Dutch eye care clinic operating in the same ZBC reimbursement framework. Xpert Clinics has begun adding eye care (Oogzorg) as a module, so Oogziekenhuis Zonnestraal represents both a potential competitor in the eye module and a comparable specialty-clinic operating model.

Broad incumbents

• Medisch Centrum Jan van Goyen: Amsterdam-based independent medical center offering multiple specialty outpatient services including dermatology, orthopedics, and other specialties under the Dutch ZBC framework. Comparable operating model for insured specialist care.
• DC Klinieken: Dutch independent specialty clinic chain (ZBC) with multiple locations offering orthopedic and other specialist services. Comparable business model of insurance-reimbursed outpatient specialty care with GP referral pathway.
• Bergman Clinics: One of the largest independent clinic chains in the Netherlands, offering multiple specialties including orthopedics and ophthalmology. Competes for the same GP-referred specialist care reimbursement pool and patient demand, though not specialized in hand/wrist.
• Acibadem International Medical Center: International hospital group with Amsterdam location offering multi-specialty outpatient services including orthopedics. Operates in the same Dutch specialist care reimbursement ecosystem with comparable patient flow characteristics.

Direct peers

• HandsOnCare: Specialized Dutch hand and wrist clinic chain with locations in Bosch en Duin, Rozendaal, and Lelystad; acquired by Xpert Clinics in May 2024. Was the closest direct specialty peer prior to the acquisition.
