Our comprehensive diagnostic evaluation consists of complete physical examination, individualized biochemical, immunological and genetic testing as well as state-of-the-art ultrasound and radiographic assessment.  Based on the established diagnosis, we offer our patients a highly individualized therapy which typically incorporates traditional pharmacological agents, customized diet, appropriate food supplements and herbal remedies, and optimized protocols for physical activity and daily exercises.  Our facility is equipped with an infusion center where we administer biologic agents and chemotherapy for patients with life-threatening rheumatologic diseases. For patients with non-life-threatening illnesses we propose, as an option, a complete natural route of the therapy.
