Clinic Specialties – What Makes UNIQUE Medicine Strong

Gastroenterology in Baden-Baden

The gastroenterology department covers the full spectrum of gastrointestinal and pancreatic diseases: from gastritis and reflux disease (GERD) to diverticulosis, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis. The clinic performs endoscopic examinations using the Olympus HQ190 series equipment with NBI, Near Focus, and AI-assisted features, enabling the detection of the smallest pathological changes in the mucosa that remain undetected during a standard examination.

Video capsule endoscopy using a Medtronic device with integrated artificial intelligence allows for non-invasive examination of the entire small and large intestine – a procedure unavailable in most standard clinics. For patients with intestinal polyps, polypectomy is performed safely during endoscopy, eliminating the need for separate surgery.

Hepatology – Treatment of Liver Diseases in Germany

Liver treatment is one of UNIQUE Medicine’s strongest areas of expertise. The clinic offers comprehensive care for patients with fatty liver disease (NAFLD/MAFLD), alcoholic hepatitis, viral hepatitis B and C, liver cirrhosis, and autoimmune liver diseases, including autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cholangitis, and IgG4.

The LiMAx (Liver Maximum Capacity) device is a unique technological solution, enabling real-time assessment of the liver’s functional reserve. No MRI or CT scan provides the same functional assessment as LiMAx. Additionally, we utilize the FibroScan device from Echosens, an ultrasound device for non-invasively measuring the degree of fibrosis and fatty degeneration of the liver. This device is considered the gold standard today and, in many cases, replaces painful biopsies.

Infections at the UNIQUE Clinic

Prof. Kahraman’s infectious diseases practice includes the diagnosis and treatment of bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections, HIV care, and vaccinations. Before traveling to exotic destinations, patients receive comprehensive consultations on malaria prophylaxis, recommended vaccinations according to STIKO and WHO standards, and individual health risks depending on their destination.

Diagnostic Equipment – ​​University-Level Technology

What sets UNIQUE Medicine apart from ordinary private practices is the equipment typically found only in large university hospitals. The clinic is equipped with an Olympus EVIS EXERA III endoscopy tower with a top-of-the-line processor, an Olympus HQ190 gastroscope, and a colonoscope with narrow-band imaging (NBI) and AI support, which improves the accuracy of precancerous lesions detection. A Medtronic video capsule with integrated artificial intelligence allows for a comprehensive colon examination without patient discomfort.

The LiMAx device performs a real-time liver function assessment, FibroScan measures the stiffness and degree of fatty liver tissue without puncturing, and a Siemens ultrasound system with an elastography attachment provides precise visualization of abdominal organs. InBody analyzes body composition – muscle mass, body fat percentage, and hydration status. A 12-channel resting ECG complements the cardiac assessment. Together, these tools form a complete diagnostic platform that allows for an accurate diagnosis to be made during the first visit.

Why patients choose UNIQUE Medicine Baden-Baden

• UNIQUE Medicine stands out even in a competitive market. Its main advantage is access to a specialist professor. Patients don’t have to go through a chain of doctors or wait weeks for a referral—they are immediately assigned to a leading specialist with years of university experience.
• The clinic adapts its appointment schedule to the patient’s needs, offering weekend appointments and home visits in urgent situations. Confidentiality and personalized service are not just marketing hype, but a genuine private practice model where each patient receives the specialist’s full attention, not standardized appointment times.
• The location in Baden-Baden is another compelling argument. This city, with its world-class service, thermal spas, and tranquil atmosphere, creates the ideal environment for combining treatment and recovery. Convenient transport connections to the airports of Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden (40 minutes), Stuttgart (1 hour) and via train from Frankfurt, Zurich and Strasbourg make travel logistics simple even for patients from distant countries.
