Thomson and Dr. Thomas Kaiser have equally been recognized
as centres of excellence by residents and travelling golfers
alike.
for the whole family, which is based upon the good old
fashioned idea of giving lots of time and care to the patient
and trying to avoid problems by the early detection of
illnesses.
The two clinics of the “Family Medical Centres” are situated
in enviable locations. Dr. Kaiser´s consultation rooms are
located at Vale do Lobo overlooking the third green of the
Vale de Lobo Royal Golf Course, which hosts one of the most
famous golf holes in Europe. Dr. Thomson is located right in
between the first and tenth hole of the Quinta do Lago South
Course, voted the best Golf Course in Europe by the World
Golf Awards 2014.
What makes the work of these two doctors special is the
friendliness of their whole team and the speed of access to
any diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. The doctors are
proud to admit that they have many patients who are famous
personalities from the arts and sports industries. They are
truly celebrity doctors but also very keen to emphasize that
they still get up in the middle of the night to see the farmer’s
wife in the middle of nowhere if she has gone into labour.
In the waiting room you can hear the gentle waves of the
Atlantic Ocean rolling in.
Dr. Kaiser was one of the lead doctors in the opening of the
fantastic new private “Hospital Particular” in Faro, which is
located 15 minutes from the clinics and only 5 minutes from
Faro airport. Dr. Kaiser ran the emergency department from
the opening day in December 2009 and is now the Director
of the International Health Department of the HPA Saude
Group, which is one of the fastest growing middle size
businesses in Europe.
The Medical Practice was founded 26 years ago by scratch
golfer Dr. Thomson, who pursed his idea of creating a private
hospital for international residents and tourists to the Algarve.
Dr. Kaiser, a semi professional tennis player in his younger
years, joined him 15 years ago, having been a GP partner in a
well established practice in Surrey, before moving into the
sunnier climates of Portugal.
Both GPs have more than 25 years of professional experience
and pride themselves on providing a five star medical service
