The Check-up Centre of Max Grundig Clinic
Fast Diagnostics And Short Distances
The Max Grundig Clinic has created a unique health center of the highest medical quality, where physicians can take more time for their patients. Decades of experience, the highest professional competence, short distances, and state-of-the-art equipment – you will find all this under one roof here. Each discipline is interconnected without time-consuming and complicated referrals from one specialist to another.
At the Max Grundig Clinic, you can have a Check-up carried out from head to toe in the shortest time possible – without long waiting times, without the annoying search for the right specialist and without the annoying stress of arranging appointments. We unite all our specialist departments under one roof. In a pleasant atmosphere we take time for You and Your health, get to know You better, and analyze Your complaints. We do not only regard the physical aspects, but the whole person.
Procedure And Duration of A Check-up
From A to Z
It is part of the Max Grundig Clinic’s approach not to take the most extensive but the shortest path to diagnosis. Intelligent laboratory algorithms, magnetic resonance tomography, and ultrasound examinations have priority in our Check-up center. These do not hurt, are risk-free, and allow resilient follow-ups. With regard to radiation damage, the use of X-rays or CT in screening is limited to individual special cases. However, we consider endoscopy to be a decisive method for a definitive diagnosis. In order to be able to carry this out seamlessly without referral procedures, we have the entire diagnostics under one roof – at the most modern, university level. Our patients have the option of choosing between a small and an extensive Check-up. These last from 4 hours to 2 days – however, there are no general check-up programs. After an admission interview with the physician, the necessary examination contents are determined according to the individual situation.
Second Opinion
Some physicians consider obtaining a second opinion as an insult. We consider it a confirmation of our work, because our clinic is asked for a second opinion very often. With the interdisciplinary orientation of our clinic and many years of experience, our specialists can take an unbiased look at the clinical picture, diagnostics and the therapy plan. In the USA and the UK, by the way, this procedure has been common practice for many years. This examination enables us to answer questions and to eliminate ambiguities that have arisen after the first visit to the physician. At this point, it also pays off that our sponsor, the Max Grundig Foundation, takes the pressure of time out of treatment. This allows our team of physicians to come very close to the ideal of speaking medicine. On the other hand, we encourage insecure patients to seek a second opinion on our findings, too. It proves the accuracy of our work that most of these patients come back afterwards to get well at the Max Grundig Clinic.

High-tech Equipment
Everything United Under One Roof
Whether CT, MRI, or ultrasound – our technical equipment meets the highest standards. The advantage of our clinic is that the specialized departments and the radiology are located in one house and we all work hand in hand. This enables us to make findings and diagnoses extremely precise and to quickly take the right steps. This situation is very comfortable for the patient because he can save distances and waiting times and obtain everything from a single source – on a high-tech level, with the bundled know-how of the entire clinic.
Prevention
Prevention aids above all in cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and strokes – the top 3 most frequent causes of death in Germany. Followed by respiratory diseases, diseases of the digestive system, and mental diseases. With the support of regular check-ups, most diseases can be prevented. Regular check-ups are therefore recommended every two years starting from the age of 50.
Findings That Everyone Understands
The detailed diagnosis is followed by a detailed discussion. The time factor also plays an important role here, because You should understand the findings. We will discuss the images from CT, MRI, or ultrasound with You and explain the next steps. The entire preventive examination is supervised by a physician, although all specialists are at Your disposal with their know-how.
