German Top medicine and the quality of stay of a star hotel for patients of all health insurances: Welcome to the beautiful nature of Thuringia, to the outstanding architecture by Matteo Thun and to “Germany’s best hospital”, according to the F.A.Z. Institute.
As orthopedic experts with an international reputation and a long tradition in endoprosthetics, we help and heal patients from Thuringia, Germany and all over the world. We assume responsibility for the people in the region as a healthcare provider and the largest employer.
With our new building and innovative care concepts, we are setting the gold standard for hospitality in the hospital sector. The great satisfaction and high esteem of our patients is more important to us than the numerous awards and the great media coverage.
The German Center for Orthopedics
Since 2018, the orthopedic clinic of the Waldkliniken has been called the “German Center for Orthopedics at the Waldkliniken Eisenberg” (DZO).
This name reflects the demands of the experts in this clinic as well as the quality of the medical services: We are a “Center for Orthopedics for Germany” at the Waldkliniken.
The DZO is a maximum care orthopedic clinic. The chief physician of the German Center for Orthopedics, Univ.-Prof. dr Georg Matziolis is also the medical director of the Waldkliniken Eisenberg.
In the knee, hip, spine, hand and foot, sports/shoulder and pediatric orthopedics departments, the experts offer the entire spectrum of outpatient and inpatient services as well as conservative and surgical therapy.
With the professorship for orthopedics in the medical faculty of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena, the clinic is the only university orthopedic department in Thuringia and has its finger on the pulse of research. Science, teaching and the highest level of evidence-based medical care are thus united under one roof.
The patient as a guest
The basic idea of the architect Matteo Thun in his work for the Waldkliniken is as simple as it is plausible: the patient becomes a guest in this house — and therefore feels more like in a hotel than in a hospital, not only because of the sensational facade and shape.
With high-quality and natural materials, excellent and well thought-out design and the basic claim of being the best house for patients, the patient is the focus of everything we do here in an atmosphere of hospitality.
The concept of the patient hotel is just as unique as the design with its round floor plan, the wooden facade and the winter gardens in each individual patient room.
The design actively supports recovery. The direct view of nature, especially of the forest, not only strengthens the immune system. Patients with such a prospect also require less pain medication after surgery. A pleasant environment improves the “mindset” of the patients and thus demonstrably supports healing.
