SKInstitute of predictive and personalized medicine (IPPM)
For more than 10 years, we have been helping our patients improve their health using the latest diagnostic and therapeutic procedures focused on the intestinal flora and digestive system.
Who are we?
Were it not for the fact that every patient is completely unique, medicine would be just a scientific routine rather than an artform.
Why chooseIPPM
An individual approach, cutting-edge treatment methods and comprehensive treatment aimed at addressing the root cause of your health issues is what characterizes the IPPM clinic. All of this under the supervision of our experienced clinical staff in modern facilities. These are just a few of the reasons why, over the last 10 years, hundreds of satisfied patients from around the world have trusted us with their care.
Microbiome analysis
The first step in solving a problem is to identify its cause. The IPPM Gut Microbiome Analysis is a comprehensive test that allows us to determine the exact composition of your gut flora and reveal any potential deficiencies. Among other things, the results of the analysis will help you find out which types of gut bacteria are present in your digestive tract, whether they are present in sufficient quantities, and most importantly, how the composition of your gut flora can affect your overall health and your body's ability to metabolize nutrients. Personalized recommendations based on your results and an online consultation with our experts come included with the test.
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)
Damage to the gut flora (gut dysbiosis) can contribute to a wide range of health problems, from intestinal discomfort to chronic fatigue. By far the most effective method of treating gut dysbiosis is fecal microbial transplantation (FMT). FMT treatment consists of administering complete intestinal flora obtained from the stool of a healthy donor into the colon of the patient. This allows us to quickly, effectively and painlessly "repair" even severely damaged intestinal flora, for example in patients after a long course of antibiotics, or in patients with a wide variety of health conditions. IPPM is one of the oldest clinics in Europe that provide fecal transplantation and we are a leader in this field not only in Slovakia, but also in the whole of Central Europe.
The IPPM clinic was the first private healthcare facility in Central Europe to provide fecal microbial transplantation to patients. We have been providing FMT at our clinic since 2017 and have provided this treatment to hundreds of satisfied patients from all around the world over the past 8 years. IPPM Clinic therefore ranks among the global leaders in the field of providing fecal transplants.
The safety of our FMT implants and capsules is of paramount importance to us. We have built up our comprehensive donor selection and testing protocol based on the latest scientific findings and best practices for FMT donor banks.
The FMT clinical team consists of experienced medical staff, including doctors and nurses.
What do our patients say about us?
I had 10 FMT recently at the clinic in Topol'čany. My symptoms have improved already and it's still early days. Janette and the staff are extremely kind, caring, and helpful and look after you well. I'd highly recommend getting in touch if you have any gut conditions.
We took my son to this clinic in September of 2019. We flew from the United States, and I have to say we were very impressed with the clinic. The staff are wonderful. Everyone was so kind, and all of the nurses knew how to keep my son calm and relaxed during the procedure. The clinic is very nice, and it is in a nice neighborhood. My son has had a lot of improvements since his FMT. He was making so many improvements after he had 10 stool implants that we wanted to come back September 2020 to get 10 more. Unfortunately because of COVID-19 this has not been possible. We sincerely hope we can bring our son back to this clinic in the future. Update: we went back to the clinic in August 2022. It has only been 3 weeks, and my son is already making improvements. He is talking in more complete sentences, and engaging more with other children. I am so thankful for IPPM, and the wonderful staff there.
