Functional diagnosticians

What does a functional diagnostics doctor do and when to see one

A functional diagnostics doctor specializes in evaluating the work of various organs and body systems. You should consult such a doctor if you:

• Need a comprehensive health assessment.
• Experience unexplained symptoms that require further examination.
• Have chronic diseases and want to monitor their impact on your body.
• Are preparing for a surgical procedure or planning a preventive check-up.

Consultation with a functional diagnostics doctor is important for obtaining an in-depth health analysis.

What diagnostic methods does a functional diagnostics doctor use

Functional diagnostics doctors use a variety of methods to assess the body's functional state. Main diagnostic methods may include:

• Functional tests to evaluate the work of the heart, lungs, and other systems.
• Electrocardiography (ECG) to measure the heart's electrical activity.
• Echocardiography (heart ultrasound) to assess its structure and functions.
• Spirometry to determine lung function.
• Laboratory tests (blood, urine analysis) to detect inflammation, infections, and other indicators.

These methods help the functional diagnostics doctor accurately assess the body's condition.

What happens during a functional diagnostics consultation

A consultation with a functional diagnostics doctor at the "Dobrobut" clinic begins with detailed history taking, during which the doctor asks about your symptoms, medical history, and lifestyle.

What questions to ask the doctor

During a consultation with a functional diagnostics doctor, consider asking the following questions:

• What could be the causes of my symptoms?
• What diagnostic procedures do you plan to perform?
• How often should I be tested to monitor my condition?
• What is the cost of the functional diagnostics services?

These questions will help you gain more information about your condition and treatment.
