Adus Klinik

What Adus Klinik does

Adus Klinik is a privately-run hospital and clinic located in Dielsdorf in the Zurich Unterland region of Switzerland, operated by the Swiss private limited company Adus-Medica AG. Founded in 1999, the facility specializes in orthopedic surgery, traumatology, sports medicine, and general surgical care, with additional departments for gynecology, ENT (otorhinolaryngology), anesthesiology, and pain therapy. The clinic is embedded within the Gesundheitszentrum Dielsdorf health center and operates three operating theaters, 20 acute inpatient beds, and 14 day-clinic beds; the legal entity behind it, Adus-Medica AG, is privately held with no institutional investors or public listing.

The clinic's clinical capability centers on arthroscopic and minimally invasive surgical techniques, including ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair and transplantation, cartilage surgery (matrix-associated chondrogenesis and autologous chondrocyte transplantation for defects exceeding 3 cm²), and joint replacement (hip, knee, shoulder). Conservative treatment offerings include PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, hyaluronic acid injections, and sonographically guided infiltration therapy. Diagnostic imaging (X-ray, MRI, ultrasound) and in-house physiotherapy support both pre-operative and post-operative care. Since 2018, the clinic has expanded into outpatient consultations across orthopedics, neurology, and general surgery; treatment scope now also extends to children aged 6+ with joint problems and overuse injuries.

Adus Klinik generates revenue through outpatient consultations billed under the Swiss TARDOC tariff system, inpatient surgical stays, ambulatory/day surgery, anesthesia services, and regenerative therapies (some requiring patient co-payment). The clinic operates a sales-led GTM motion primarily driven by physician referrals (Zuweiser) from regional GPs and specialists, complemented by online self-service appointment booking, recurring public educational lectures (Publikumsvorträge), social media presence, and a sports sponsorship with FC Niederweningen. The patient base consists of individual orthopedic, sports medicine, trauma, and surgical patients in the Zurich Unterland catchment. Key operational partnerships include alphaclinic Zürich AG (shared affiliated physicians), regional physiotherapy centers, Medgate (telemedicine coordination), Spital Bülach, Privat-Klinik im Park, and Anästhesiezentrum.ch (formalized March 2024). Quality assurance is anchored by REKOLE certification, VZK and H+ Die Spitäler der Schweiz memberships, and participation in the SIRIS implant registry and ANQ national quality measurements.
