»Sit mens sana in Corpore sano« (Juvenal, Roman poet, 1st century AD)
That there may be a healthy mind in a healthy body
Mental fitness and physical well-being – if possible until old age – have for millennia been mankind's most profound desire.Modern medicine can provide the means to achieve this goal: The medical Check-Up is not only meant to diagnose existing illnesses, but first and foremost to help in the early detection of possible risk factors of vascular diseases, metabolic disorders, and cancer prevention. This leads to an individual recommendation for an improved diet, physical activity and a healthy lifestyle.
The comprehensive Check-Up has been the main focus of our medical practice for over 15 years, and we conduct over 2000 Check-Up examinations annually. Designed after the latest diagnostic and therapeuthic findings these Check-Ups are carried out with ultramodern equipment, following the principles of the Mayo-Clinic Check-Up.
To what extent these examinations are carried out is the result of individual planning, taking into account the age, pre-existing conditions, habits, individual risk factors and - last but not least - requests of the patient.
How is a Check-Up performed?
On the first day of the comprehensive health Check-Up (fasting in the morning, duration approximately 2 hours ), a thorough interview will be conducted to gather information about any pre-existing conditions, allergies, surgeries, and current symptoms, followed by a physical examination and a comprehensive blood test based on individual risk factors. Tumor markers can be included in the blood test upon request.
We also perform stool analyses for tumor diseases, infections, enzymatic disorders, or disruptions in the intestinal flora, as well as urine analyses to detect kidney and bladder diseases.The blood, urine, and stool analyses are conducted in our state-of-the-art and certified laboratory in Düsseldorf.
All ultrasound examinations are performed using the latest color-duplex ultrasound equipment from GE (General Electrics), you can follow the examination simultaneously on the patient monitor!

Individuals who already have a high risk profile should undergo regular check-ups every year or even every 6 months, depending on their individual risk profile.
