Will I need to travel to see a specialist?

Answer this Question

When we asked members in Altea if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...

"I have not had serious health problems, but did seek out a podiatry specialist for alternative treatment for foot pain from Freiberg's. The IMED doctor told me I need to have part of the second and third bone in my foot cut out. The podiatrist (who has multiple locations in this area of the Costa Blanca) used laser and made me custom orthotics and gave me exercises which helped immensely," explained one expat living in Altea, Spain.
