Dr. Damir Juranić's clinic in Batomalj near Baška combines plastic surgery with a holiday on Krk. A guide to treatments, the two working locations (Rijeka and Batomalj) and accommodation recommendations close to the clinic.
Most guests come to Baška for the sea, the white pebble beaches and the view from Velebit. A minority — and the number is quietly growing — come for something far more personal: trust in Dr. Damir Juranić, a plastic surgeon who has spent fifteen years doing what his colleagues do in the great European cities of Switzerland, France and Italy.
He performs major surgical procedures at a fully equipped partner clinic in Rijeka; consultations, recovery, minor procedures and aesthetic treatments are handled from the family practice in nearby Batomalj. The difference is that here, after a procedure, instead of stepping into a grey taxi, you step into an apartment overlooking olive groves and a pool a hundred metres from the clinic.
This guide is written for guests for whom Baška can be more than a beach — and for anyone who has heard of the “doctor in Batomalj” and wants to know exactly what is done where, who it is for, and where to stay during recovery.
The Aesthetic Medical & Surgical Center Juranić opened in early 2022 on family premises at Batomalj 48, just a few minutes’ drive from the centre of Baška.
The name is not new to the area: its foundations were laid by Dr. Ivan Juranić, a gynaecology specialist and long-serving doctor to the local community. His son Damir returned home and turned the family practice into a centre for aesthetic medicine and consultations, while performing major surgical procedures at a fully equipped partner clinic in Rijeka.
Dr. Damir Juranić. Continuous professional training in Switzerland, France, Poland, Italy, Hungary, Greece, Slovenia, Serbia, Portugal, Monaco and Cyprus. Over 5,000 procedures under general anaesthesia and over 20,000 under local anaesthesia. Recipient of the Baška Municipality annual award in 2024 for contribution to healthcare.
Dr. Juranić divides his work between two locations, depending on the type of procedure. Larger surgical procedures requiring general anaesthesia, an operating theatre and hospital support are carried out at a fully equipped partner clinic in Rijeka. The clinic in Batomalj is where all consultations, minor procedures under local anaesthesia, non-surgical aesthetic treatments and recovery follow-ups take place.
