Steadily at the Top — Dirk Burghaus Leads Sportklinik Hellersen Once Again Among Germany’s Best Clinics

In 2025, Sportklinik Hellersen has once again been recognized as one of Germany’s leading hospitals — for the fourth consecutive year. Under the strategic leadership of Dirk Burghaus, the specialty clinic has maintained its position in the renowned FOCUS list since 2022, earning recognition as a Top Regional Hospital in NRW, Top Specialty Clinic in Spine Surgery, Hip Surgery, and Sports Medicine, as well as a Top Clinic for International Orthopedic Patients.

This consistent success underscores the effectiveness of the course Burghaus and his team have charted — driven by specialization, continuous development, and a highly qualified interdisciplinary team of over 50 physicians. With innovative care structures, international visibility, and outstanding patient satisfaction, the clinic is increasingly recognized as a national and global center of excellence in orthopedics, spine surgery, and sports medicine.

A key to this success has been the strategic focus on high-level specialization. In 2023, the German Spine and Scoliosis Center was established as a new unit within the clinic. Today, patients from across Germany — and increasingly from the Middle East — are seeking out Hellersen for advanced orthopedic care, reflecting the clinic’s growing international reputation.



„These awards aren’t snapshots – they reflect the culture, structure, and teamwork we’ve built. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together.“

Dirk Burghaus
Chairman of the Management Board of Sportklinik Hellersen


Looking ahead, the clinic remains committed to evolving along the highest standards of medical quality and patient-centered care — with vision, consistency, and one goal: to always be among the best.
