Why you need a general practitioner

A general practitioner is a broad-spectrum physician who looks at the body as a whole. This is the specialist to see when you have symptoms but cannot work out what is behind them: fatigue, breathlessness, raised blood pressure, an unexplained temperature, or abnormalities in your test results. The value of a GP is not that they treat everything, but that they identify the right direction. Instead of booking three specialists in turn and paying for each appointment, you come once and leave with an investigation pathway that makes sense. At GENEVITY this works particularly quickly, because the laboratory and ultrasound diagnostics are on site. The GP can order tests and a scan, receive the results and come back to you with a conclusion without sending you elsewhere. People see a GP to: - make sense of unexplained symptoms; - have their test results interpreted and know what to do next; - complete a pre-operative work-up and obtain clearance; - adjust treatment for a chronic condition; - obtain a medical certificate or report.

How the GP appointment works

01

Symptoms and history

The physician establishes what is troubling you and for how long, your past medical history and your current medication.

02

Physical examination

Blood pressure and pulse, auscultation of the heart and lungs, abdominal palpation and examination of the lymph nodes.

03

Investigations on site

Where needed the physician orders tests or an ultrasound, which you can have done immediately without booking elsewhere.

04

Conclusion and pathway

You receive a written conclusion, prescriptions and a clear idea of which specialist to see next, if that is needed.

FAQ

If you already know what the problem is - you are under an endocrinologist for your thyroid, say - book the specialist directly. If your symptoms are vague or there are several of them, a GP will save you time and money by identifying the direction and ordering only the tests that are needed.

Yes. The clinical diagnostic laboratory is inside the centre, so any tests ordered can be taken straight after the consultation. Most require fasting - check with the administrator when you book.

Yes, within the physician's remit and after the necessary examination. If you need a specific document - for work, sport, surgery or an insurer - say so when booking, so the physician knows in advance what the assessment must cover.

Yes, it is a common request. Bring all the results you have, including older ones - a trend is often more informative than a single value. The physician will explain what the abnormalities mean and which of them require action.

Yes. The GP draws up the list of tests appropriate to the procedure, the samples are processed in our own laboratory, and the physician issues a report on the results. This is convenient if you are planning surgery - including plastic surgery - and need the full package in one place.

Not for the consultation itself. If you plan to have blood tests or an abdominal ultrasound at the same visit, though, come fasting: last meal 8-12 hours before, water allowed. Tell the administrator your plans when booking.

A GP appointment costs from UAH 900 and lasts 30 minutes. Current prices are in the Prices section and the administrator will confirm them when you book. Tests, ultrasound and other investigations are charged separately.
