Consultation
At times, General Practitioners may be unable to solve certain health-related issues. Dr Kanyik's vast experience as a Physician allows him to successfully diagnose and treat complex cases, using comprehensive consultations and diagnostic testing.
Dr Kanyik takes a complete medical history, assessment of lifestyle behaviours and diagnostic tests to come to an accurate diagnosis. Thereafter, a treatment plan involving both medication and lifestyle changes are implemented.
Dr Kanyik also offers patient education and counselling on the management of illnesses, and giving sound advice on lifestyle changes that can aid in better health.
In the event that Dr Kanyik cannot further assist, he will refer you to another specialist that has the knowledge and skills to diagnose and treat your specific illness.
Dr Kanyik offers various screening tests. Screening tests are valuable in its ability to detect potential problems, while minimising unclear or confusing results.
These tests are recommended for people that have certain risk factors or symptoms. For instance, a resting ECG is recommended for those who have symptoms such as heart palpitations or chest pain, or if you already have heart disease. Generally, we recommend that patients do common screenings such as high blood pressure and glucose testing at least once every two years, starting from the age of 18, and once a year for those that are 40 or older.
We offer the following screening tests; ECGs, 24-hr Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM), Lung Function Tests, HbA1C – Avg Glucose tests over 2-3 months, and Haemoglobin (Hb) with Hemocue tests to check for anaemia.
