Ortho Clinic Zürich

What Ortho Clinic Zürich does

Ortho Clinic Zürich is a private, physician-owned orthopaedic and sports medicine practice located at Seestrasse 315 in Zürich-Wollishofen, Switzerland. Founded in January 2013 by Dr. Atul Sukthankar, the practice operates as a single-site multi-specialist centre staffed by six Partnerärzte covering the full musculoskeletal spectrum — shoulder and elbow, hip, knee, foot and ankle, paediatric orthopaedics, and sports medicine. The clinic is Swiss Olympic "Approved" and is affiliated as a Belegarzt (resident physician) with Hirslanden Klinik Im Park, with additional referral and surgical partnerships spanning ten regional hospitals, private clinics, and specialised centres including Operationszentrum Bellaria, Stadtspital Triemli, Privatklinik Bethanien, and Spital Limmattal.

The core offering is direct-to-patient professional medical services rather than a technology product. Diagnosis and treatment are delivered on-site at a single address, supported by co-located X-ray imaging, partner-operated physiotherapy (Training im Park), and partner-operated cast and orthosis services (Cast2go), enabling an integrated diagnosis-to-rehabilitation workflow. Surgical and inpatient cases are routed through Hirslanden Klinik Im Park and partner operating theatres. Patient acquisition is driven by organic SEO via detailed treatment-condition pages on the clinic's website, a structured physician-to-physician referral intake ("Für Zuweiser/innen"), Instagram and LinkedIn presence, and the founders' and partners' professional networks built through prior appointments at Balgrist, Schulthess Klinik, Universitätsspital Zürich, and international fellowships.

The revenue model is fee-for-service clinical practice, with payments collected via Swiss statutory basic insurance and supplementary private insurance classes; no pricing is publicly disclosed. The practice is physician-owned with no institutional, PE, or VC capital, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed parent entity. Headcount has grown organically through sequential lateral partner additions (notably Dr. Tim Briem in 2018 and again in 2021, and Dr. Christopher Lenz in 2023), with the practice currently anchored by six sub-specialist Partnerärzte.

Core offering

Ortho Clinic Zürich is a multi-specialist orthopedic and sports medicine practice operating from a single location in Zürich-Wollishofen, staffed by six board-certified orthopedic surgeons. It delivers outpatient diagnostic, conservative, and surgical orthopedic care across shoulder/elbow, hip, knee, foot/ankle, pediatric orthopedics, and sports medicine, supported by on-site X-ray, partner-operated physiotherapy, and in-house cast application. Revenue is generated through specialist consultations and treatment procedures billed via Swiss basic and supplementary health insurance.

Product overview

Ortho Clinic Zürich operates as a multi-specialist orthopedics and sports medicine center housing six orthopedic surgeons at Seestrasse 315, Zürich-Wollishofen. The practice offers a unified clinical service platform combining orthopedic subspecialty care (shoulder/elbow, hip, knee, foot/ankle, pediatric orthopedics, sports medicine) with integrated in-house diagnostic and therapeutic services — specifically on-site X-ray, physiotherapy, and cast services — all at a single address. An online appointment booking module enables direct patient scheduling. The clinic functions as a medical services practice rather than a software technology product, with all offerings oriented around direct patient care rather than a modular software architecture.
