Outpatient Specialties and Advanced Methods
The clinic provides specialized care across more than 10 medical departments. Key areas include:
- Cardiology: Heart Age AI analyzes cardiovascular patterns from ECG data. Preventive blood purification is also available.
- Gastroenterology: Endoscopic and ultrasound diagnostics for stomach cancer, liver disease, and acid reflux.
- Neurosurgery: Stroke risk and unruptured aneurysm evaluation using high-resolution imaging.
- Respiratory Medicine: Treatment of COPD and asthma through inhaled steroid therapies.

The cardiology department performs therapeutic apheresis – a blood purification process using special filtration membranes. This removes bad cholesterol, triglycerides, and inflammatory substances before returning purified blood. International visitors can access this preventive treatment. Specialists with over 40 years of experience manage the procedure.
Neurological services include cognitive rehabilitation and lifestyle support for memory loss patients. For chronic headaches, neurosurgeons use detailed questionnaires and imaging. This helps distinguish migraines from serious conditions like brain tumors. A dedicated dental department performs periodontal tissue regeneration and gum disease screening.
Diagnostic Technology and Specialized Units
The clinic uses high-specification imaging equipment in the Midtown Tower facility. 3.0 Tesla MRI and 80-slice CT scanners provide detailed views for neurology and cardiology. Tools like 3D mammography and flexible endoscopes support early cancer detection.
The Executive Medical Service offers private examination rooms and dedicated concierge support. For dental patients, the Blue Radical device treats periodontal disease. Results typically arrive within three to five weeks. Patients can access medical reports through a secure online system.
