Specialist Medical Center

What Specialist Medical Center does

Fachärztezentrum Glatt (FAZ Glatt, branded as Specialist Medical Center) is a private, physician-led outpatient multi-specialty medical center located on the second floor of the Glatt Office building adjacent to the Glatt Shopping Centre in Wallisellen, Switzerland. The center operates across 12 medical disciplines — general medicine, outpatient surgery, bariatric medicine, aesthetic and laser medicine, abdominal and rectal surgery, gastroenterology and hepatology, vascular surgery, gynecology and obstetrics, hand surgery, oral and maxillofacial surgery, neurosurgery and spinal surgery, and plastic/reconstructive surgery — staffed by approximately 14 board-certified specialists, a medical director (Dr. med. Markus Grandel), a clinic manager (Tabea Maier), 8 medical practice assistants, and a secretary, with an additional 3 affiliated oral and maxillofacial surgeons operating as Belegärzte.

The clinical technology stack comprises a state-of-the-art surgical suite with pre-op and recovery facilities for outpatient procedures, minimally invasive microsurgical techniques for spinal surgery, and da Vinci robotic-assisted surgical capability (Intuitive Console Surgeon certification held by Dr. Guillaume Aeby, 2023). For cases requiring hospitalization, FAZ physicians perform inpatient procedures at Kantonsspital Winterthur (KSW) under a formal cooperation arrangement, and the center is structurally embedded in two additional networks: the Adipositas-Netzwerk Schweiz (Swiss Obesity Network) for bundled bariatric expertise, and the Zolamed physicians' network for general-practitioner-model insurance access.

The business model is professional-services-based: revenue is generated from specialist consultations, examinations, and outpatient surgical procedures, with services billed through the Swiss mandatory health insurance system (KVG/KVV/Grundversicherung) and covered in most cases. Patient acquisition combines general practitioner referrals (Hausärzte), self-referral via an online appointment inquiry form, educational health articles on the website, and Fachveranstaltungen (specialist webinars) targeting referring physicians. The customer base is exclusively individual end-patients across at least four use-case cohorts — general care, obesity/bariatric, abdominal/rectal surgery, and women's health — with no disclosed enterprise or institutional contracts.
