Avicenna Clinic

What Avicenna Clinic does

Avicenna Clinic (legal entity: Avicenna Klinik GmbH) is a privately held, single-site international spinal surgery and neurosurgery clinic located in Berlin, Germany. Founded in 2001 by Dr. med. Munther Sabarini, the clinic specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal conditions including herniated discs, spinal canal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, vertebral fractures, spinal tumors, cysts, and chronic back/neck pain. Its core technical capabilities center on minimally invasive microsurgery using 1–2 mm instruments under operating microscopes, intraoperative neuromonitoring, on-site diagnostic imaging (MRI, digital X-ray, MRI angiography), spinal cord stimulation, thermal denervation, percutaneous nucleotomy, disc prosthesis implantation, and vertebral body replacement, supplemented by conservative therapies and pain-management injections. The clinical team is interdisciplinary, board-certified across neurosurgery, orthopaedics, radiology, and anaesthesiology, with more than 35 years of cumulative international experience.

The clinic generates revenue as a professional services provider, with pricing differentiated across three patient categories — private patients (Privatpatienten), statutory-insured patients (Gesetzlich Versicherte), and civil-servant beneficiaries (Beihilfeberechtigte). The go-to-market motion is direct-to-patient and referral-driven: patients initiate contact 24/7 via phone, email, or questionnaire-with-MRI submission, receive a remote therapy recommendation within days, and can complete an in-person consultation with diagnosis and treatment plan within roughly two hours. International patient acquisition is supported by a multilingual website in 13 languages, multilingual staff speaking more than 10 world languages, listings on Leading Medicine Guide and Primo Medico, and a dedicated press office. The clinic reports more than 25,000 patients treated with a satisfaction rate above 97%, and operates under a §30 German Trade Regulation private-clinic license (HRB 77885). The company is founder-controlled with no disclosed external investors, parent, or subsidiary relationships.
