Specialist consultations

Medical specialties and clinical assessments

Depending on the individual case, a consultation may be supported by diagnostic tests or specialty-specific procedures. The physician determines which are clinically indicated.

CardiologyAssessment of cardiovascular disease, cardiac symptoms and risk factors. Dr. Timpau Amalia · Dr. Budacu Sorin Alexandru

Reasons to consult a specialist

  • High blood pressure and treatment monitoring
  • Palpitations, rhythm changes and a sensation of irregular heartbeat
  • Shortness of breath, reduced exercise tolerance and cardiovascular risk assessment

The cardiology consultation considers symptoms, personal and family history, blood pressure, medications and physical examination. An ECG records the electrical activity of the heart; echocardiography assesses cardiac structure and function when indicated.

Available assessments and investigations

  • Cardiology consultation and electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG)
  • Echocardiography when clinically indicated
  • Consultation, ECG, echocardiography and medical report in the combinations listed in the service catalogue

Doctors: Dr. Timpau Amalia, Dr. Budacu Sorin Alexandru

Preparing for the consultation

Bring your medication list, recent blood pressure readings, laboratory results and any previous ECG or echocardiography reports. Do not change medications without medical advice.

UrologyConsultations for urinary tract and male reproductive system conditions, including urological investigations and procedures. Dr. Buzamat Bogdan

Reasons to consult a specialist

  • Urinary symptoms, blood in the urine and recurrent urinary tract infections
  • Prostate symptoms, urinary retention and urinary stones
  • Follow-up of urological conditions and assessment of the indication for cystoscopy

The urologist assesses symptoms alongside medical history, examination and available investigations. Depending on the findings, urine tests, urine culture, ultrasound or endoscopic examination of the lower urinary tract may be recommended. Cystoscopy is a separate procedure with its own indications and preparation.

Available assessments and investigations

  • Urology consultation with or without ultrasound
  • Cystoscopy and urethral dilatation when indicated by the specialist
  • Catheter-, stent- and urethral device-related procedures, subject to confirmation of available services

Doctors: Dr. Buzamat Bogdan

Reasons to consult a specialist

  • Menstrual disorders, pelvic pain and abnormal bleeding
  • Assessment of vaginal symptoms and gynaecological changes
  • Ultrasound assessment during pregnancy in the trimesters specified by the clinic

The consultation considers gynaecological and obstetric history, symptoms and a clinical examination when indicated and consented to. Pelvic or transvaginal ultrasound may help assess the uterus, endometrium and adnexa. The examination in pregnancy depends on gestational age and its diagnostic purpose.

Available assessments and investigations

  • Gynaecology consultation and ultrasound
  • Transvaginal ultrasound alongside consultation when indicated
  • Sample collection and gynaecological tests where their exact type is confirmed
  • Pregnancy ultrasound in the first or second trimester

  • Thyroid nodules, goitre and ultrasound abnormalities
  • Symptoms that may suggest an underactive or overactive thyroid
  • Interpretation of hormone tests and follow-up of endocrine disorders

  • Thyroid ultrasound
  • Consultation with thyroid ultrasound, follow-up and interpretation of results

Doctors: Dr. Adoamnei Otilia

  • Initial neurology consultation, follow-up and interpretation of results
  • Carotid Doppler ultrasound
  • Consultation with carotid Doppler ultrasound, according to the physician's service list

  • Consultation with cleaning of one ear
  • Consultation with cleaning of both ears

  • Treatment follow-up and interpretation of laboratory results

  • Suspected haemorrhoids, anal fissure or fistula
  • Assessment of lumps or lesions in the perianal region

Patient guide · Consultations

Before your appointment

Practical answers about consultations and examinations requiring specific preparation.

Which documents should I bring?

Identification, referral if available, relevant blood tests, medical letters, hospital discharge records and reports or images from previous examinations. Bring a list of medicines and doses if you have chronic conditions.

Should I stop taking medicines?

Do not change medication yourself, particularly anticoagulants, diabetes or cardiovascular treatments. Tell reception if endoscopy or an invasive procedure is planned; the physician will provide individual instructions.

Do I need to fast for ultrasound?

Preparation depends on the area examined. Some abdominal scans require fasting, and some pelvic scans require a full bladder. Thyroid and many musculoskeletal scans generally have different requirements. Confirm the protocol with reception.

How do I prepare for endoscopy or colonoscopy?

Preparation differs. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy usually requires fasting. Colonoscopy requires an appropriate bowel preparation according to the medical team's instructions. Do not substitute an online preparation plan.

When do I need someone to accompany me?

Arrange an accompanying adult for sedated procedures and follow driving restrictions. People with reduced mobility or additional support needs may also require assistance; advise reception when booking.

Can I book a consultation and test on the same day?

This depends on clinician availability, equipment, duration and required preparation. Some procedures must be scheduled separately. Reception can clarify the possible sequence.

Who interprets tests and determines treatment?

Qualified medical professionals interpret investigations in their clinical context. The treating physician integrates the findings into your care plan and recommends appropriate follow-up.

Are outpatient consultations reimbursed by the Romanian public health insurance system?

Consultations at the ProLife outpatient clinics at 42 Epureanu Street are provided privately and are not reimbursed by CNAS. Contact reception for fees and availability.
