The main advantage of this diagnostic offering is the option for an online second opinion where specialists review existing reports within 48 hours.
The diagnostic process involves several modalities to provide a detailed view of the digestive tract. Patients undergo specific examinations based on their symptoms and medical history.
Diagnostic procedures take place at the HLA Moncloa University Hospital. This facility was recognized as one of the World's Best Smart Hospitals by Newsweek in 2023.

Most examinations, including colonoscopies and imaging, are performed on an outpatient basis.
