The IFCC model
How we collaborate around your care.
Continuity means that information, responsibility and follow-up stay connected.
01
Physician continuity
A named physician, backed by the IFCC team. We aim for ongoing care with your usual physician; when they are unavailable, a covering IFCC physician can support you using your clinical record.
02
Known history
You do not need to rebuild your medical story at every appointment.
03
Connected specialists
Recommendations are communicated and integrated into one coherent plan.
04
Clear plan
You understand the findings, options and next steps.
05
Follow-up
Progress is reviewed over time, not only on the day of the appointment.
Appointments
Request an appointment.
Consultation languages vary by clinician. General Medicine consultations with Dr. Theodor-Liviu Goian are available in English, Romanian and French.
