Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Lisbon if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"Some specialists practice out of only a few hospitals, so you might need to go 30 minutes to an hour from home for an eye, orthopedic or GI specialist. These specialists are highly responsive with current training and well-deserved reputations for their skills. They have modern equipment and the latest diagnostic tools," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Lisbon, Portugal.
"Specialists in every field are no more than 30 mins away. Serious health issues are handled at our private hospital, 10 mins away. Care is quickly provided and done well. Tests are given immediately and results available the next day," commented one expat who made the move to Lisbon, Portugal.
