Company mission

To make it easy for everyone to find a local English-speaking doctor while traveling or living in Italy.

Our take

When you’re in need of healthcare abroad, finding a doctor who speaks your language can be stressful, as it is not always obvious where to look. Doctors in Italy connects travellers and expats in Italy to English-speaking doctors, allowing them to access the care they need quickly and hassle-free.

Doctors in Italy was founded in 2018 to combat the difficulties visitors to Italy have not only with sourcing a doctor, but in finding one who will be able to understand them explaining their symptoms. Its service allows people 24/7 access to medical professionals who speak fluent English, with a range of doctors available and full transparency on pricing. Users can book appointments or request prescriptions online in minutes, for fees as low as €20, with further communication done via email or WhatsApp.

Doctors in Italy is a small company that can be expected to focus on growing its team and expanding services across Italy. In the future, it seems the company aims to tackle the problem of finding English-speaking doctors in other countries as well.
