We interviewed, CEO of Vitality, Amar Nijjar, and asked him a few questions:
Q. How is Vitality different than a typical clinic in the Dominican Republic?
A. Our focus is on disease prevention. Of course, if a patient comes in with a disease, we have all of the doctors and specialists available to service the immediate needs but our foc
us is on long-term health of our patients. We firmly believe in an “Integrative Approach” to medicine. We have successfully implemented similar philosophy in our Canadian clinics for the last 10 years and delivered superior health care to our patients. 20,000+ patients have been treated at our Canadian clinics with great success and we hope to offer the same level of “Canadian Healthcare” standard to locals. The level of care we offer can be described in one sentence – “We are the Four Seasons of Medical Clinics”.

We offer medical doctors, OBGYN, Minor Procedures, Pediatrician, Nutritionist, Psychiatry, IV Therapy, medical-grade supplements, Massage, cosmetics, urologist, cardiologist, Gastro among other services.
