Andros Clinics

What Andros Clinics does

Andros Clinics is a Netherlands-based independent specialty urology clinic chain founded in 2004 by Prof.dr. Frans Debruyne and legally organized as Stichting Andros Clinics (a foundation). It operates four physical locations — Amsterdam, Arnhem, Baarn, and Rijswijk (Den Haag) — and employs 51-100 staff including more than 30 medical specialists (urologists, radiologists, andrologists, and oncological nurses). The clinic serves adult patients with urological conditions, with primary focus areas being prostate cancer diagnostics and focal treatment, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), bladder disorders, erectile dysfunction, testosterone deficiency, and male sterilization (vasectomy), where it is the largest provider in the Netherlands at over 2,500 procedures per year. It also operates dedicated sub-brands for bladder care (Blaascentrum.nl), sterilization (Sterilisatieklinieken.nl), and men's health (Mannenkliniek.nl).

The clinical platform is built around MRI-first prostate cancer diagnostics using MRI prostate scanning with PI-RADS scoring and MRI-TRUS fusion biopsy performed transperineally, designed to avoid unnecessary biopsies in approximately 50% of men referred with prostate cancer suspicion. Treatment offerings include focal therapy (HIFU and FLA), HoLEP laser enucleation of the prostate (introduced to the Netherlands by Andros in 2017), Rezum water vapor therapy (introduced in 2022), active surveillance protocols, and supporting services such as pelvic physiotherapy and circumcision. Patient engagement is supported by the MijnAndros portal and a dedicated mobile app, plus a multi-channel content marketing engine built around physician-authored blog articles, YouTube, a Spotify podcast, and social media.

The business model combines insured basic care — covered by all Dutch health insurers under standard Dutch DBC/DOT tariffs and certified under ZKN quality and Drempelvrij accessibility standards — with self-pay services such as vasectomy. Revenue is driven by direct-to-consumer appointment booking, GP (huisarts) referrals, and procedure volume across the four locations. As of May 2026, Xpert Clinics (part of Equipe Zorgbedrijven) announced a planned acquisition of Andros Clinics, pending regulatory approval and targeted to close in Q3 2026.

Comparable to Andros in the advanced procedures and diagnostics offered (fusion biopsy, focal therapy, HoLEP), but as part of a much broader hospital system.
