Les médecins français ont partout la cote

Sauf en France ....évidemment.



Alors, des Anglais qui ont testé les médecins français et qui en redemandent et des rémunérations 2 a 3 fois supérieures à ce qu'elles sont en France ....moi, si j'étais patient français dans le contexte de pénurie actuel, je commencerais à me faire du soucis ...Enfin bon, je dis ça, je ne dis rien .....

French Healthcare in London

Every week we receive messages from people asking for advice on French doctors in London. As expected, a lot of them to be from newly arrived expats, but surprisingly, I found that many londoners were as equally interested in finding them.

Now, it is hardly surprising that French-speaking arrivals should want to be treated by French doctors, but what about the English-speaking families who chose to be treated by them as well: what is it that makes them opt for the French specialists rather than an English one? I know many French people who have lived in London for a considerable amount of time, most of them with bilingual children, who could just as easily, and at a much cheaper cost, be treated on the NHS, and yet who opt for the extra expense. And with good reason.
The truth is that, on the whole, the French have a greater faith in their medical system than the English. As competitive as medicine is in England, the training is much more intensive in France. From experience, I have also found that French doctors are more willing to spend time on a patient, and tend to be, on the whole, much more attentive and giving much more thorough check-ups. This obviously makes for much more enjoyable trips to the doctor, and I personally always leave reassured; which is not always the case when I walk out of my GPs office.

The reality is that health is too important to be taken lightly, whatever else you save on, yours and your family's health should not be it. Finding a doctor that you trust is of the utmost importance. It is with this in mind that we have compiled a list of some of the most trusted and well-established French doctors, from dentists to vets (yes pets too!), working in London today.
