Gemeinschaftspraxis Deutsches Schulterzentrum in der ATOS Klinik München

What Gemeinschaftspraxis Deutsches Schulterzentrum in der ATOS Klinik München does

Gemeinschaftspraxis Deutsches Schulterzentrum in der ATOS Klinik M\u00fcnchen is a German private medical partnership (Gemeinschaftspraxis) specializing in shoulder and elbow surgery, located within the private ATOS Klinik M\u00fcnchen at Effnerstra\u00dfe 38, 81925 M\u00fcnchen. The practice treats the full spectrum of shoulder and elbow pathologies \u2014 rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, acromioclavicular joint injuries, arthritis (omarthrose), elbow instability, tennis/golfer\u2019s elbow, and complex revision cases \u2014 using arthroscopic (minimally invasive) and open surgical techniques, including shoulder prosthesis implantation (anatomical, reverse and stemless designs). Operations are performed by a four-physician team led by managing partners Prof. Dr. Frank Martetschl\u00e4ger and Dr. med. univ. Mark Tauber, supported by Dr. med. Ludwig Seebauer (joined June 2026 from Klinikum Bogenhausen) and Arthur Schwarz (conservative therapy, joined May 2023). The team performs more than 700 surgical procedures and prosthesis implantations annually, continuously evaluates its clinical data for quality control, and contributes to standard textbooks and international congresses (ESSKA, EFORT, DVSE, AGA). A sister center has operated at ATOS Klinik Heidelberg since 1997.\n\nThe revenue model rests on three streams. The primary stream is treatment of privately insured patients (PKV) directly within ATOS Klinik M\u00fcnchen, where both outpatient consultations and inpatient surgery are billed to private health insurers at non-publicly-disclosed rates. A second stream is self-pay outpatient consultations for statutorily insured (GKV) patients at approximately \u20ac120 per session (clinical exam, ultrasound, radiology review, consultation and possible infiltration), reflecting the practice\u2019s lack of KV accreditation. A third stream is inpatient surgery for GKV patients performed as attending physicians (Beleg\u00e4rzte) at partner clinics, fully covered by statutory insurance. Patient acquisition is sales-led and reputation-driven: physician referrals, patient testimonials, Jameda and Doctolib platforms, NDR/FAZ media coverage, a multilingual website (DE/EN/AR/RU), and documented treatment of professional athletes (FC Bayern, VfL Wolfsburg, THOMAS SABO Ice Tigers, Olympic athletes). Both senior physicians are repeatedly listed as FOCUS Top-Mediziner (since 2013/2016) and Jameda Top-5 Orthop\u00e4den in M\u00fcnchen.

3. Statutory Insurance Operations at Partner Clinics: When surgery is required for statutorily insured patients, Prof. Tauber, Prof. Martetschläger, and Arthur Schwarz perform operations at partner clinics fully covered by the statutory health insurance.

• Orthopädische Klinik Hessisch Lichtenau: Specialist orthopedic hospital in Hesse with shoulder and elbow surgery as core focus. Comparable to DSZ in clinical scope (arthroscopy, endoprosthetics) and sub-specialty depth, though operating under a different ownership/financing model.

• ATOS Klinik Heidelberg – Deutsches Schulterzentrum: The sister location of the Deutsches Schulterzentrum, founded in 1997 within ATOS Klinik Heidelberg.
