General medicine

When there are symptoms but no diagnosis: the internist assembles the picture as a whole and decides which specialist to see next.

About the specialty

The doctor who looks at the picture as a whole

General medicine covers clinical problems beyond surgery. Its task is a global view of the patient: to gather complaints, investigations and results into one picture and make a diagnosis where a narrow specialist sees only their part.

The internist provides follow-up and prevention, prescribes treatment and monitors its course. With unclear symptoms it is the internist who sets the route of further investigation.

In partner clinics outpatient care and inpatient management are available from the same hands, and modern investigative technology allows a diagnosis to be reached quickly without moving between institutions.

Questions and answers

Frequent questions

How much does treatment cost in Switzerland?

The cost depends on the diagnosis, the scope of investigations and the programme chosen. We request an estimate from the clinic and pass it to you before treatment starts — with a clear note of what it includes.

Can I get a professor’s opinion without travelling to Switzerland?

Yes. We arrange a review of your documents and a second opinion from a specialist professor — before the trip is planned.

How long does it take to organise the trip?

Usually 5–10 working days — depending on urgency and whether a visa is needed.

Do I need to speak a foreign language?

No. A medical interpreter accompanies you at appointments and stays in touch throughout your stay in Switzerland.

Why CorSwiss rather than going to the clinic directly?

We are your independent representative and full-cycle medical concierge. We match the best specialist for your case across Switzerland, not inside one clinic, arrange a second opinion and agree a transparent estimate before treatment starts. From there everything is in one pair of hands: a medical visa, flights and transfers, accommodation — including for companions, a personal medical interpreter at every appointment and a 24/7 assistant for any practical question. Your personal medical manager stays with the case from the first enquiry until you return home — and remains in touch afterwards: we follow results remotely and coordinate follow-up.
