Map shows the central location of our Medical Centres in the Algarve THE PERFECT PLACE FOR HEALTH TOURISM: The patients of the clinics are usually amazed about the speed and readiness with which the two GP’s in cooperation with 20 connected specialist consultants can resolve most medical problems. The access to conveniently made consultations is immediate, plus the doctors can organize comprehensive blood tests, CT scans, MRI scans, angio CTs, invasive cardiological exams and laparoscopic diagnostic procedures all on the same day. This kind of service is unheard of, even in the most exclusive parts of Harley Street. Endoscopies are done with anesthetic support and all tests are very competitively priced in comparison to the fees in London or Dublin. More and more patients travel from the UK, Ireland and also the Scandinavian countries to the Algarve for rapid diagnosis and treatment. In 2013 Dr. Kaiser pioneered the so called “PREMIUM HEALTH CHECK-UP”, which is the most comprehensive medical checkup imaginable. It is like a total body scan and aims to detect any possible problems very early. The imaging techniques are mostly MRIs scans, so no radiation exposure is caused. All tests are done in one morning. Whilst the patient plays golf on one of the seven fabulous courses around the clinics, the doctors analyse everything and prepare a detailed report, including the core information for the Health Action Plan. After golf the patient sits down with Dr. Kaiser and the results are discussed and a health plan is established. This is a one or two week intensive golf campaign, where the patient plays 7 days of golf in a row, each day on a different course. The premium check-up is done and a daily health coaching session is offered. At
