What Primo Medico does

Primo Medico (legal entity: PRIMO MEDICO GmbH) is a privately held Munich-based company founded in 2014 that operates an online directory and curated network platform connecting patients with verified medical specialists, surgeons, and clinics across the German-speaking DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). The web platform allows patients to search for physicians by medical condition, treatment type, or specialty area, with the catalog spanning 60+ conditions ranging from Aortenaneurysma-Operation to Zystische Fibrose across oncology, orthopedics, vascular surgery, neurology, reproductive medicine, ophthalmology, and other specialties. The platform is available in five languages (German, English, French, Russian, Arabic), positioning it as an entry point for international medical tourism into DACH-region providers. Member physicians and clinics are awarded the PRIMO MEDICO quality seal (Siegel), distinguishing the network from unfiltered doctor listing platforms.

• Sanego: German health portal offering doctor search alongside medical content and reviews. Comparable because it overlaps with Primo Medico on condition content, specialist profiles, and patient decision support in the German-speaking market.

• Leading Medicine Guide: English- and German-language medical-tourism directory linking international patients with German specialists. Closely comparable given the shared focus on international patient routing into DACH medical specialists.
• Medigo: Global medical-tourism marketplace that connects international patients with clinics abroad. Comparable because it serves the same cross-border patient demand pool that Primo Medico targets via its multi-language platform.
• Bookinghealth.com: Medical-tourism facilitator focused on arranging treatment in leading clinics across borders. Comparable because it captures the same inbound flow of international patients searching for DACH specialists.
• Doctoralia (Docplanner): Global doctor-directory and booking platform owned by Docplanner. Comparable because it offers the same curated-specialist discovery experience for patients and operates a paid membership model for physicians in multiple European markets.

Regional players

• PraxisVita: German-language health-content and information portal. Adjacent to Primo Medico on the content/SEO side rather than on specialist listings, but competes for the same German patient-research audience.

Broad incumbents

• Doctolib: Pan-European healthcare-booking leader with very strong DACH presence. Broader than Primo Medico because it spans booking plus telehealth, but competes directly for the same patient-acquisition channel and physician mind-share in Germany.
• Docplanner Group: Parent of Doctoralia and one of the largest healthcare-booking platforms globally. Broader than Primo Medico (multi-product, multi-country), but competes for the same specialist-membership wallet and patient-discovery funnel.
