Healthy from A to Z at Grand Resort Bad Ragaz

7-Mar-2012

At the internationally renowned Grand Resort Bad Ragaz Medical Health Center, patients are in the safe hands of a highly specialised medical and therapeutic team.

An answer to all health-related questions – at the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz, guests and patients can find various medical disciplines consolidated under the roof of a five-star resort. Specialists such as dermatologists, plastic surgeons, dentists, orthopaedic surgeons or gynaecologists welcome the resort’s guests in their own surgeries. At the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz medical centre of excellence, all paths leading to general good health are short in every respect – guests can even walk from surgery to surgery in their bathrobes. Looking after one’s health thus becomes an uncomplicated and even pleasant undertaking, contrary to experiences from everyday life. At the luxurious Grand Resort, people planning a check-up or with a specific treatment in mind can combine their visit to the doctor with relaxation – for example by waiting for their appointment in an elegant Spa Suite, at a restaurant or on a sun lounger with a view of the mountains. Stays at the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz are available from CHF 490.00 per night in a double room. Reservations can be made by sending an e-mail to [email protected] or by calling +41 (0)81 303 30 30. The prices for medical treatments are available on www.resortragaz.ch or on request.

New offers and proven classics:

Dr Michael Meier, a graduate doctor and dentist and holder of the Swiss Federal Diploma in Dentistry, and the gynaecologist Professor Rolf Steiner, are new at the centre of excellence. Dr Margaretha Alram has also just joined the team. As a gynaecologist, she looks after female patients’ wellbeing and provides advice on matters of fertility. The plastic surgery department’s offers attract both men and women. Dr Edith Rehli-Wolfinger, a specialist in plastic, reconstructive and aesthetical surgery, offers advice and administers treatments. On the whole, the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz Medical Health Center features more than 20 specialists, additional consultants, therapists and experts. The interdisciplinary structure of the team of doctors ensures that patients are treated in a comprehensive way. The sports medicine, rehabilitation and pain therapy department with Dr Rolf Hohmeister, Dr Christian Schlegel and Dr Christian Hoppe has long since proved its expertise. In addition, Dr Hoppe has been intensively exploring the current topic of weight management for some time now, working with nutritionists and scientists. The Vein Center with Dr Stefan Küpfer and Dr Thomas Vorburger, as well as Dr Clemens Sieber, a cardiovascular and lung specialist, is equally well established. The well-known sports physician Dr Beat Villiger is responsible for the overall management of the Medical Health Center. He also gained recognition as a doctor for the Swiss Olympic team. In 2009, however, Dr Christian Schlegel succeeded him in this position.

Generally, every treatment is based on a holistic check-up, during which the patient’s general health is carefully assessed and any weaknesses or risk factors are uncovered. Thereby, preventive measures take on a significant role. At the Medical Health Center, preventive programmes tailored to guests’ individual needs are devised to help them deal with increasing demands on performance as well as with stress and weight problems. Furthermore, the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz Medical Health Center is also experienced in providing aftercare and offers special therapies to help patients regain and continuously improve their physical performance and mental balance after an accident, an operation or an illness. The thermal water, whose healing qualities had already convinced Paracelsus, is an essential element in all the treatments.
