Thun is another Swiss1Surgery site
With the clinic of Dr. Markus Naef in Thun, Swiss1Chirurgie puts its range of services on an even broader footing and ensures professional care for patients in this region as well. With Dr. Naef, we were able to gain an integral partner who has been working successfully in bariatric surgery in the Thun region since 1998 and is extremely familiar with all modern techniques in obesity surgery. Read the article to find out what this means for patients in Thun and the surrounding area and how we are thus further implementing our 360° claim.
New partner practice in Thun cooperates with Swiss1Chirurgie
As is well known, the squaring of the circle consists of exactly four quarters. And a circle has an angular measure of 360°. With the integration of the clinic Dr. Naef in Thun, we are integrating a fourth partner into Swiss1Chirurgie and at the same time underlining our 360° approach in the interest of our patients.
We are successfully expanding patient care
In addition to our previous Swiss1Chirurgie practices in Solothurn, Bern and Naters in the Valais, we have now been able to gain Dr. Markus Naef with his clinic for general surgery/visceral surgery as an integral part of Swiss1Chirurgie. With its focus on bariatric surgery, Dr. Naef’s clinic completes our service portfolio at another location. The beneficiaries of this cooperation, which is very gratifying for us, are above all the patients, who can now enjoy even better care, especially in the field of obesity surgery. This is a step that can help to meet the constantly growing demand for obesity surgery, including detailed consultation, pre-surgery care and aftercare, especially in such complex and consultation-intensive fields as obesity surgery.
Who is Dr. Markus Naef
Dr. Markus Naef is a true Thun native. His connection to his home region provides him with an excellent network in the Oberland and has long made him a sought-after specialist in visceral surgery and obesity surgery. Dr. Naef opened his clinic in Thun in 1998. Since then, he has enjoyed a high level of acceptance among patients from Thun and the surrounding area. As past president of the SMOB (Swiss Society for the Study of Morbid Obesity and Metabolic Disorders), Dr. Naef has not only established an exceptionally good reputation among his peers, but has also played a decisive role in shaping treatment guidelines.
His wide range of experience includes techniques commonly used in bariatric surgery such as gastric bypass, tubular stomach, gastric banding, vertical gastroplasty, revision surgery and others. Thus, the clinic of Dr. Naef in Thun fits perfectly into the range of services of Swiss1Chirurgie and can be an excellent extension of the services of Swiss1Chirurgie in Thun at its location.
With the integration of a fourth site into Swiss1Chirurgie, we are rounding out our circle. With the now broad and specialized range of services in Thun, we continue to pursue our 360° claim,with which we want to reach, advise, treat and care for our patients preferably where they live. For patients in the Thun region, this means that they can now also take advantage of the excellent services of Swiss1Chirurgie in association with other specialist centers in Thun with the clinic of Dr. Naef.
The clinic is located in the Denner building opposite Thun train station (less than 5 minutes walk) at Frutigenstrasse 16, 3600 Thun, on the 2nd floor (elevator, wheelchair accessible).

Swiss1Chirurgie also treats patients in Valais
On 1.1.2022, Swiss1Chirurgie will open a new clinic at a new address in the Valais, namely in Naters. In addition to the locations in Solothurn and Bern, this will also strengthen patient care in the canton of Valais.
For many years now, Swiss1Chirurgie has established itself in Switzerland as a medical centre with a wide range of specialised services and inspires referring physicians and patients with its extremely professional team and range of services. In order to be able to further expand this offer in the Valais, it has now been agreed to locate the centre in Naters. The main focus here will be on thorough diagnosis, prevention and follow-up care, with the necessary procedures being carried out in the tried and tested manner in Bern.
What Swiss1Chirurgie now also does in Valais
Swiss1Chirurgie is known for its broad yet specialised range of specialist services. In general surgery, the focus here is on inguinal hernias, abdominal wall hernias, gallstones and diverticulitis. Equally extensive are the services relating to tumours of the small and large intestine, in thyroid surgery and in proctology. The services in general surgery are supplemented by so-called minor surgery, for example in the treatment of skin lesions.
Typical services provided by Swiss1Chirurgie in the field of visceral surgery are no less interesting. Reflux operations, diaphragmatic hernias, oesophageal and gastric tumours can then also be treated in Bern after diagnosis in Naters. Liver surgery and colon surgery including deep rectal tumours expand the range of services, as does the broad field of obesity surgery.
This means that Swiss1Chirurgie has long since established itself in specialist circles as a reliable and professional partner and now also provides comprehensive care and advice for patients in Naters for the entire Valais. Of course, we are also fully available to advise referring doctors.
Swiss1Chirurgie app summarises all services and offers a plus in information
We have compiled all the services of Swiss1Chirurgie, lots of comprehensive information and, of course, all the contact options in a convenient app. Here there is even the possibility of individualised information for both patients and referring physicians. In this way, we are responding to people’s desire to also have expert knowledge available everywhere and are giving referring physicians in Valais the opportunity to provide the best treatment for their patients in each case.
For Valais, the Swiss1Chirurgie site in Naters means an even broader range of specialised services. As already noted, in Naters we focus in particular on the prevention, diagnosis and follow-up of diseases in the respective areas and are happy to refer to our location in Bern for surgical interventions.
