Leech Private Clinic in Graz, Austria, provides specialized surgical care for hallux valgus under the expertise of attending orthopaedic surgeons. A consultation with an orthopaedist typically costs between $100 and $300, while lab tests are around $300. The facility holds EN ISO 9001 and EFQM 4-star certifications, representing a high standard of quality management in the Austrian healthcare system.
Before any surgical intervention, patients undergo a focused assessment to determine the severity of the bunion and the best surgical approach. The clinic uses on-site CT and X-ray imaging to map the bone structure of the foot.
Surgery for hallux valgus at Leech Private Clinic is performed by attending physicians like Dr. Josef Raschid. This unique system allows patients to select their own surgeon for the procedure. The clinic uses three operating theatres equipped with endoscopic tools for both minimally invasive and open techniques.
The surgical plan is tailored to the foot's condition, focusing on correcting the joint alignment and removing the bunion. Depending on the complexity, patients can use the day clinic for one-day procedures or stay for longer inpatient care. During the stay, the clinic provides 24/7 nursing care and in-house physiotherapy to help with early movement.
Recovery continues after the surgical phase through a partnership with Private Hospital Laßnitzhöhe. This cooperation allows patients to access specialized orthopaedic rehabilitation nearby. This helps restore mobility and foot function more effectively after the operation.

Privatklinik Leech, founded in 1973, is a private surgical clinic in the centre of Graz, the capital of Styria in southern Austria. It belongs to SANLAS Holding, a Styrian healthcare group founded in 1980 that today runs twelve health facilities across rehabilitation, care, prevention, acute medicine and surgery. Leech works as a "Belegarzt" clinic: patients are treated by the specialist of their choice from a team of around 100 doctors, who use the clinic's operating theatres, nursing team and infrastructure. With 44 beds in single and double rooms, three operating theatres and a round-the-clock recovery unit, the clinic combines a broad surgical range with the comfort and personal atmosphere of a small private hospital in the heart of the city.
The clinic covers almost every surgical field apart from obstetrics, including:
Dental treatment under general anaesthesia is also available.
Several of the clinic's procedures address cancer, including breast-conserving operations for breast tumours, the treatment of eye tumours, and the removal of skin moles and tumours with subsequent pathological assessment. The clinic also offers gastroscopy and colonoscopy, internal medicine with cardiology, angiology and gastroenterology, neurology, dermatology and interventional pain therapy. On-site computed tomography and X-ray support fast and accurate diagnosis.
A dedicated day clinic allows many treatments to be carried out in a single day, without an overnight stay, including:
Every room is equipped with:
Wireless patient monitoring is available in every room for safety after an operation. Patients also have access to a cafeteria, a lounge and a quiet garden courtyard.
The clinic settles accounts directly with many statutory and all Austrian private insurers, as well as numerous foreign insurance providers. Self-paying patients from Austria and abroad receive an individual quotation in advance, so they can decide on treatment with full cost certainty. Patients who need rehabilitation afterwards can continue their recovery at the group's rehabilitation clinic in nearby Laßnitzhöhe.
