Post by Smartiepants »

Good morning

We are in need of a GP visit, could you please tell me what the protocol is here and the name and address of an English speaking Dr.
Thanks so much for taking the trouble to respond.

Deb, when I have needed a doctor to visit the villa, I have used Dr Vieira 282 350 780 he charges 50 euros for the visit, but check the cost first.

Thanks logic bob, not necessary for a house call, but always good to know that information.

Anyone else know.
Thanks Deb

I thought you needed a house visit. You can go to the walk in place in Lagoa. If you do a search on here for doctors it should bring up lots of information for you.

If you go to the health centre in Lagoa with your EHIC card, you see a Dr pretty quickly for about €3......the English is pretty good, usually....or they find a nurse who speaks English.

We have been coming to Carvoeiro for 21 years and have always used the Health Centre in Lagoa.
My brother had a perforated eardrum and was sent by the Health Centres Dr Jesus to Portimao hospital where he saw a specialist on a Bank Holiday Monday for a nominal charge. We cannot fault either. We have never used any of the private Drs.
