Neurology

Neurology deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the peripheral, central and autonomic nervous system: vascular, tumor, inflammatory, degenerative etc. Taking accurate and detailed neurological status is of paramount importance for the proper assessment of memory, cranial nerve function, motor activity, coordination, sensitivity and gait of the patient. For precise diagnosis of neurological diseases, a modern equipment is also available: electromyograph, electroencephalograph, ultrasound apparatus for extra and intracranial brain imaging, advanced and high-tech neuro-reproductive techniques. Modern neurology also requires teamwork with close collaboration with other medical specialties such as imaging, cardiology, neurosurgery, endocrinology, and more.

Cardiology

Cardiology deals with disorders of the heart as well as parts of the circulatory system: diagnosis and treatment of arterial hypertension, coronary artery disease (heart attack), heart failure, valvular heart disease, congenital heart defects and electrophysiology. Millions of people worldwide die each year from cardiovascular diseases, with Bulgaria being Europe’s “leader” in the field of morbidity and mortality from these diseases (mainly heart atack and stroke). The main reason for this situation are the unhealthy lifestyle and lack of a health policy for promotion and prevention of illnesses as well as the ineffective medical care only dealing with the already developed disease and its complications, that leads to high cost and low health outcomes. Our medical center has a high-tech equipment for precise and early diagnosis as well as high-quality cardiologists with individual attitude and modern thinking, also paying attention to the role of healthy lifestyles as a major factor in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disabilities: smoking, eating properly, overcoming stress, sufficient physical activity)

Endocrynology

Endocrinology deals with prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the endocrine and metabolic diseases, incl. obesity. Examines glands with internal secretion and relationship between them and other organs and systems. Modern endocrinology involves not only accurate ultrasound diagnosis but also teamwork and training not only for the patient but also for his family.

Gastroenterology

Gastroenterology deals with diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the digestive system: disorders of digestion (dyspepsia); gastritis and ulcers (stomach, duodenum); inflammatory diseases and tumors of gastrointestinal tract; liver diseases (hepatitis, cirrhosis). Experienced gastroenterologists using state-of-the-art equipment (incl. ultrasound of abdominal organs) and in collaboration with other professionals, apply the most advanced treatment.

Orthopedics and traumatology

Orthopedics and traumatology deals with the diagnosis, correction, prevention, and treatment of congenital and acquired defects in the form or function of the musculoskeletal system: bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Modern professionals use highly specialized imaging and treatment techniques, and where necessary, more sophisticated implants that help shorten the recovery period after surgery and greatly improve the quality of life of the patient.

Neurosurgery

Neurosurgery deals with operative treatment of diseases of the peripheral and central nervous system: disc hernias, craniocerebral and spinal cord injuries, nervous system tumors, aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations. It is a dynamically developing specialty with introduction of mini-invasive techniques, ultrasound neuronavigation, spine stabilization and reconstructive surgery and endovascular treatment of cerebro-vascular diseases. This specialty is closely related to neurology and imaging diagnostics. Functional neurosurgery, as a part of neurosurgery helps patients with drug-resistant epilepsy and late-stage Parkinson’s disease.

Urology

Urology deals with diseases of the male and female urinary-tract system (kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra) and the male reproductive organs (penis, testes, scrotum, prostate). It uses modern imaging diagnostics (ultrasound, X-ray, resonance) and focuses mainly on surgical treatment but also uses conservative methods of treatment. Because a urologist encounters a wide range of clinical problems he should be a doctor with wisdom of internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology and imaging technics.

Oral and maxillofacial surgery

Oral & maxillofacial surgery is a specialty that combines therapeutic and surgical methods of surgery, dentistry, neurosurgery, ENT and ophthalmology and deals with diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of disorders affecting the facial complex and skeleton, including the jaws and oral cavity.
Reconstructive Oral & maxillofacial surgery restores deformed or completely lost tissues, bone structures and organs of the face, mouth, and neck due to congenital illnesses, tumors, traumas, burns or surgical interventions.

Diagnostic imaging

Diagnostic imaging also called medical imaging, uses certain technologies (ultrasound, X-rays and gamma rays, electromagnetic waves) to produce images of internal organs and structures of the body for the purpose of accurate diagnosis. It uses advanced equipment – ultrasonograph, digital X-ray, computer tomograph, magnetic resonance, specialized vascular programs. Modern imaging technique allows detailed and high-quality examinations with a very low dose of radiation that helps both physicians and patients.
