General Internal Medicine

Our internal medicine consultation covers acute and chronic conditions, from the first unexplained symptom to long-term care. Prevention is not a separate product here. It is what the consultation is for.

Typical complaints

What people come
to us with

You do not need a diagnosis to make an appointment. These are the reasons we see most often, and all of them are a good enough reason to come.

Heart and circulation

High blood pressure, palpitations, tightness in the chest, cholesterol that keeps being mentioned. Assessed by our specialist in cardiology and cardiovascular prevention.

Airways and lungs

A cough that will not go, breathlessness on exertion that was not there last year, infections that keep coming back.

Stomach and bowel

Reflux, bloating, digestion that has changed, abdominal pain nobody has explained yet.

Thyroid and metabolism

Weight that moves without a reason, feeling cold, hair thinning, restlessness or the opposite. All of it is measurable.

Muscles and joints

Pain that keeps returning, stiffness in the morning, inflammation markers that came back raised.

Kidneys and liver

Values that were flagged once and then never followed up. We look at what they mean over time, not as a single snapshot.

Infections

Infections that keep returning or take too long to clear, and the question of what is behind that pattern.

Sleep

Trouble falling asleep, waking at three, and being tired all day despite eight hours in bed. Where a sleep study is needed, we arrange it and stay your point of contact.

Stress and performance

Exhaustion, a drop in performance, concentration that fails by mid-afternoon. Physical causes are ruled out before anything is called stress.

Weight

Weight that will not move, or moves the wrong way. Assessed medically first, and only then treated.

Therapy and care

What happens
after the diagnosis

A finding on its own changes nothing. What follows is a plan that fits your complaints, your life and your risk profile, and someone who stays with it.

A plan built around you

Not a protocol with your name on it. What you can realistically change, what needs treating now and what can wait are decided together.

Long-term care for chronic conditions

High blood pressure, metabolic disorders, thyroid conditions. The same doctors over years, so nobody starts from zero at every appointment.

Where mind and body meet

Consultation and psychiatric assessment are available in-house with Med. pract. Manuel Riegner, for the many complaints that sit between the two.

Weight, medically supported

Nutritional counselling and activity first, medication only where it is indicated. The rules that apply in Switzerland are explained before anything is prescribed.

Prevention that follows from your numbers

Cardiovascular and metabolic risk is calculated from your own values, not from a table of averages. Then we agree when to look again.

Coordination with specialists

Where something belongs in specialist hands, we arrange it and stay your point of contact. You should never have to carry your own findings from door to door.

The aim is simple: that you understand what is going on, that it is treated properly, and that someone is still there in a year to check whether it worked.
