Helping patients achieve sustainable weight loss through evidence-based medical care since 2009
![]()
Our Story
Health Clinic Weight Loss Clinic was founded in Estonia in 2009 by experienced bariatric surgeon Dr Rein Adamson and his son Mihkel Adamson. Their vision was to provide people struggling with obesity with effective, evidence-based medical care and sustainable weight loss solutions. At a time when obesity treatment was largely limited to restrictive diets and bariatric surgery, Health Clinic recognised that obesity is a complex chronic disease influenced by genetics, metabolism, psychology and lifestyle factors.
As obesity medicine has evolved, so has Health Clinic. Advances in medical research, modern weight loss medications and multidisciplinary treatment have expanded the available options for obesity management. Today, Health Clinic offers personalised weight loss treatments, including nutritional counselling, medical weight loss, gastric balloon treatment and bariatric surgery. Our approach focuses on finding the most appropriate treatment for each patient rather than recommending the same solution to everyone.
With over 17 years of experience, Health Clinic brings together bariatric surgeons, physicians, dietitians, nurses and other healthcare specialists to provide comprehensive obesity treatment and long-term weight management support. By combining medical expertise, evidence-based treatments and individualised care, we help patients work towards sustainable weight loss, improved metabolic health and a better quality of life.
About the Clinic
The Health Clinic is located in the heart of Tallinn at Tartu mnt 13, where we welcome patients for consultations, examinations and personalised treatment planning. Our central location offers convenient access for both local and international patients, with Tallinn’s Old Town, major hotels, the Port of Tallinn and key transport connections all nearby. Many of our patients travel from Finland and other neighbouring countries, and our clinic is easily accessible by car, public transport and taxi, with convenient connections to Tallinn Airport and the passenger terminals.
All surgical procedures are performed at one of Estonia’s leading and most highly regarded private hospitals. We carefully select our surgical partners based on the quality of their medical facilities, with particular emphasis on patient safety, comfort and privacy. These modern surgical environments are equipped with advanced medical technology to support high-quality surgical care and a comfortable recovery. By combining personalised consultations at our centrally located clinic with surgery at carefully selected private hospitals, we aim to provide every patient with a safe, seamless and comfortable treatment experience from the first consultation through surgery and recovery.
Mission
To provide a deeply personal, safe and comprehensive weight loss journey, supporting lasting results from the first step through long-term care.
Vision
To be the most trusted weight loss and health partner in the Nordic region, combining personalised care, medical expertise and exceptional support.
Our Medical Approach
Over the years, our experience has shown that there is no single obesity treatment suitable for everyone. The most effective approach depends on each patient’s health, BMI, medical history and weight loss goals. While bariatric surgery can provide significant, long-term weight loss for patients with severe obesity, others may benefit from nutritional counselling, lifestyle changes, behavioural support or medical weight loss treatment. At Health Clinic, we focus on selecting the most appropriate evidence-based treatment to support sustainable weight loss and long-term health.
Our services include nutritional counselling, weight loss medication, gastric balloon treatment, bariatric surgery and post-weight loss body contouring. Our experienced surgeons, physicians, dietitians and other healthcare specialists work together to provide personalised treatment plans, helping patients achieve sustainable weight loss, improve metabolic health and maintain long-term results.
Who should
turn to us?
We provide help to everyone, including those who have not achieved their desired goal with other solutions.
Our values
Good obesity care begins with asking the right questions, not offering the quickest answers. We believe every treatment decision should be guided by medical evidence, clinical expertise and a thorough understanding of the patient’s overall health.
We also believe that successful treatment is measured by more than kilograms lost. Better metabolic health, improved quality of life and sustainable long-term outcomes are equally important.
These principles shape the way we think, the way we work and the standards we hold ourselves to every day.
Evidence Before Assumptions
Obesity is a complex chronic disease, not a matter of willpower. Every recommendation we make is based on current medical evidence, clinical expertise and the individual needs of each patient.
The Right Treatment, Not Overtreatment
We believe successful care is about choosing the most appropriate solution, not the most invasive one. For some patients that may mean lifestyle support or medication, while for others surgery may offer the best long-term outcome.
Better Outcomes Through Collaboration
The best decisions are rarely made by one specialist alone. By bringing together surgeons, physicians, nutrition specialists, psychologists and nurses, we create treatment plans that consider every aspect of a patient’s health.
Respect in Every Conversation
Every patient deserves to feel heard, respected and supported. We are committed to creating an environment where people can seek help without judgement and make informed decisions about their health with confidence.
