Vitos Orthopedic Clinic Kassel
The Vitos Orthopedic Clinic Kassel is a specialized medical facility where patients can receive top-class diagnostics and conservative and surgical treatment for musculoskeletal diseases, including spinal pathologies. The clinic was founded more than 100 years ago, so it is proud of its rich and successful clinical experience and also honors its long traditions. Before the clinic first opened its doors to patients, its building was a sanatorium and health complex that provided medical care to the wounded during the First World War. Today, the clinic enjoys a reputation as one of the best orthopedic centers in Germany and Europe. 164 beds are available for patients' hospital stays. In June 2021, a new clinic building was put into operation, so now patients are accommodated in comfortable rooms that correspond to the level of a high-class hotel.
The clinic annually admits about 5,000 inpatients for diagnostics and treatment, and more than 17,000 patients receive medical care on an outpatient basis. The health of patients is in the safe hands of a medical team of more than 330 employees, including specially trained nursing staff. All specialists at the medical facility strive to provide the most effective and, at the same time, sparing treatment. Doctors always devote enough time to personal communication with the patient. They talk about possible treatment options and expected therapeutic results, and they answer the patient's questions. Particular attention is paid to supporting the patient during treatment because a positive attitude plays an important role in the success of therapy.
The clinic's team of orthopedists has exceptional professional skills in surgical treatment. The specialists have at their disposal five high-tech operating rooms, in which they annually perform more than 4,500 operations of varying complexity. In addition, the clinic's doctors have a perfect command of the latest conservative treatments, which, in some cases, may help avoid a surgical procedure. In October 2020, a specialized department was opened in the clinic, which provides pain management, manual therapy, and naturopathic treatment. The clinic also treats young patients with musculoskeletal diseases.
The Vitos Orthopedic Clinic Kassel has all the necessary technical and human resources available to provide top-class treatment for common and rare cases of orthopedic pathology. The medical facility has modern diagnostic rooms, operating rooms with special equipment for arthroscopic and minimally invasive operations, and treatment rooms for manual therapy. The head physicians of the clinic's departments are included in the ratings of top specialists in their areas of competence according to the prestigious medical magazine Focus, so patients can be sure that they trust their health to true professionals in their field.

Location
Kassel is a city in the northern part of the Federal State of Hesse, on the Fulda River. Most of the urban landscape is occupied by parks, so Kassel is called the green city. Kassel is an ancient city with a thousand-year history. It also survived many conflicts and wars, but at the same time, it did not lose its charm and became a popular tourist destination in Germany.
One of the most beautiful places in Kassel is Wilhelmshöhe Landscape Park. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best parks in Europe. The symbol of the park is the statue of Hercules, a colossal monument placed on the pyramid, which crowns the castle on top of the hill. The territory of the park also houses the Wilhelmshöhe Palace, which has one of the best German collections of art objects, including exhibits from Dutch and Flemish masters.
The Museum of the Brothers Grimm is also especially popular among tourists. Brothers Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm were great German collectors of folk tales and legends who worked in the city library of Kassel. It was a very fruitful period for their creative and scientific activities. In Kassel and its neighborhood, they collected and wrote down fairy tales. The exposition of the Brothers Grimm Museum is dedicated to the most important stages in the lives and works of famous German philologists and folklorists, as well as the impact of their research on world science and culture. The museum has a beautiful library and a collection of personal belongings from Jacob and William.
Those who like walking and beautiful views will also enjoy a walk along the embankment of the Fulda River. One will be delighted with the quiet waters of the river reflecting ancient houses and trees bending their branches to the water. The embankment offers cozy cafes and restaurants where one can have a bite, drink hot or cold drinks, and at the same time enjoy the beautiful landscapes.
One of the most famous religious sights in Kassel is St. Martin's Church. It was founded at the beginning of the 14th century. For hundreds of years, the church was rebuilt and supplemented with new elements, so now its appearance is an amazing combination of a variety of architectural styles. The last major reconstruction took place in the 1950s of the last century. The specialists restored many old decorative elements of the church.
