ABOUT US
Clínicas Retiro was founded on Jesús Aprendiz Street in Madrid, in March 2000 as a center specialized in physiotherapy. In 2004 we increased our healthcare offering by incorporating new medical specialties.
The good reception that our work had led us, in 2007, to double our activity with the opening of a new clinic on the street Fernan Gonzalez, the only clinic currently open. Since then, we continue to strive every day to meet our goal, providing the best care to our patients.
Difference between PCR and Antigen Test
There are two ways to diagnose Coronavirus infection: by locating the virus in the body (PCR) or by detecting the reaction of the immune system when the virus enters the body (Antigen Test).
Both are equally valid (with a sufficient amount of viral load) but the Antigen Test is faster and cheaper.
