English Speaking Doctors in Florence
Family doctors, consultants, nurses and therapists who practise in English and come to your apartment, hotel or villa in Florence — for study-abroad students, expats settled in Tuscany, and visitors who would rather see a doctor than lose a day of their trip.
Fees shown before you book. No account needed.
How It Works
Pick the service and your address
Under Choose & Book, choose a GP, a specialist, a nurse or a therapist, then enter where you are staying in Florence — a student flat in Santa Croce or a farmhouse outside town.
Choose from who covers it
Everyone who reaches that address is listed with their background, their fee and their open slots. Pick one, take a slot, and the confirmation appears on screen.
The visit comes to you
Examination, advice and any prescription, on your sofa rather than in a waiting room, followed by a written report and an invoice in English.
Florence coverage runs from the historic centre through the residential districts to the hills and the towns around the city; the roster here is growing, and only the address check can tell you who reaches a particular street today.
What You Can Book in Florence
Whatever you need in Florence, the booking works the same way. Read about a service below, or start with the button.
GP Home Visits
Flu, infections, allergies, injuries from the cobbles, prescriptions and certificates — a family doctor at your Florence address.
Specialist Consultations
Hospital consultants from every branch of medicine, visiting in Florence or on video when the question does not need an examination.
Paediatricians
A feverish child in a holiday rental or a newborn check for a family who has just moved — paediatric visits in English.
Nurses & Blood Tests
Blood samples, injections, drips, wound care and help after surgery from English-speaking nurses at your door.
Physiotherapy & Osteopathy
Rehabilitation, back and joint treatment and osteopathy, brought to your apartment or hotel instead of a clinic across town.
Psychology
Talking therapy in English for homesick students and long-term residents alike — on video or in person.
Midwifery & Podiatry
Midwifery through pregnancy and after the birth; chiropody for nails, skin and sore feet — each at your address.
Online Consultations
Video appointments with the medical, paediatric, psychology and physiotherapy teams — from Florence, the Chianti or anywhere in Italy.
€ 127 is the lowest GP fee on the roster; the exact figure for your Florence address and the clinician you pick appears before confirmation.
Where We Visit — and What to Know in Florence
Florence hosts tens of thousands of foreign students and long-stay visitors every year, most of them without an Italian doctor. This is where the team goes, plus the things worth knowing before you need us.
✓Areas covered for home visits
- The historic centre — Duomo, Santa Croce, Santa Maria Novella, San Lorenzo and the hotel streets along the Arno
- Oltrarno: Santo Spirito, San Frediano, San Niccolò and the Boboli side of the river
- Campo di Marte, Le Cure, Rifredi and Novoli — the residential and university districts
- The hills: Fiesole, Settignano, Arcetri and the villas above the city
- Student residences and study-abroad campuses, with visits coordinated with the programme office where useful
- Towns around Florence — Scandicci, Sesto Fiorentino, Bagno a Ripoli and beyond: the address check gives the answer
→Good to know
- Students without a tessera sanitaria can book like anyone else; the service is private and needs only an ID and an address.
- Study-abroad insurance usually reimburses a private doctor’s visit on presentation of our English report and invoice.
- Prescriptions written by our doctors are accepted in every farmacia in Florence; the Farmacia Comunale at Santa Maria Novella station is open around the clock.
- Hospital referral: when a home visit is not enough, the doctor refers you to a Florence hospital and explains what will happen, in English.
- Follow-up: for a second visit you can ask for the same clinician, so nothing has to be explained twice.
Why Book Through Medelit
Whoever comes to your door in Florence is registered with the relevant Italian professional body, carries professional insurance, and has passed our medical directors’ checks on qualifications, references and background — and a conversation in English, because a language line on a CV is not proof.
The visit takes the time it takes
No appointment clock. The clinician stays until the question is answered and the plan is clear.
Paper that travels
Everything you take away is in English — the report, the prescription, the invoice — ready for an insurer, a university health office or your doctor back home.
A GP who can call the rest
Bloods, a nurse, a physiotherapist or a specialist opinion are booked in the same system, often on the GP’s advice after the first visit.
Linked to Florence’s hospitals
Our clinicians hold posts in Florentine hospitals; when you need imaging, a specialist unit or a bed, they know the right door.
Sundays and holidays too
Weekend and bank-holiday visits at the weekday fee, whenever a clinician’s diary shows a free slot.
Video when you have moved on
Left Florence for Siena or the coast? The same booking puts the doctor on video, with your notes already in hand.

The centre on both banks of the Arno, the residential and university districts, the hills and the towns around the city. Type your Florence address into Choose & Book: whoever reaches it is listed, with their open slots.
The lowest GP fee on the roster is € 127. Whoever you choose displays their own figure before you book, and evenings, weekends and public holidays cost the same.
The clinician’s diary is open to you when you book, so the next free slot is yours to take — nobody rings you back, nobody puts you on a list. If nothing fits, the quickest fallback is a video appointment with the same clinicians.
Yes, and many do. You need no Italian health card or residency — an ID and your address are enough. Our English report and invoice are what most study-abroad and travel insurers ask for, and the clinician can liaise with your programme office if you wish.
Yes. Hotels, B&Bs, apartments and villas in the hills are all normal addresses for us; for a rental, give the entrance details and a phone number so the clinician can find the door.
Yes. Our doctors write private prescriptions valid in every Italian pharmacy, including repeat prescriptions for medication you take regularly, and can issue certificates for an employer, a university or an airline.
Each visit produces an English invoice and report, the paperwork a study-abroad, travel or international health policy asks for when you claim. A few insurers can be billed directly; mention it before booking.
Yes. A paediatrician can come to a sick child or do a routine check at your address, GPs look after older children, and paediatric video appointments are available as well — pick paediatrics when booking.
The visiting clinician sends you to the right Florentine hospital or unit and walks you through what will happen there, in English. Blood tests, an ECG and some scans can be done at your address instead of a trip across town.
Yes. For anything that does not need hands-on examination, or after you have moved on from Florence, book a video appointment through the online doctor or online specialists pages.
With Medelit, you can check availability and fees at your address directly on our website. Simply enter your address, choose your preferred clinician based on their profile, qualifications and fees, and book online. No membership required. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available.
Fees vary by clinician and specialisation. With Medelit, each clinician sets their own fees, which are fully transparent when you check availability — so you can choose based on both expertise and cost. There are no hidden fees or membership charges.
A home visit is ideal when you have mobility issues, are caring for a child or a relative, are too unwell to travel, need attention outside surgery hours, are travelling or new to Italy, or simply prefer the privacy and comfort of home or your hotel.
Every Medelit clinician is fully registered with the relevant Italian professional body, holds professional indemnity insurance, and has been individually vetted through background checks, reference verification, and interviews with our medical directors. All speak English.
Absolutely. When you check availability, you can view each clinician's profile, qualifications, specialisations and fees. For follow-ups, you can request the same clinician for continuity of care.
Medelit often has same-day availability. In many cases, a clinician can visit within a few hours. Weekend and bank holiday appointments are also available. For medical emergencies, always call 112.
Medelit is available in Italy’s major cities and many surrounding areas. Enter your address to check availability where you are staying.
Yes. Medelit clinicians visit wherever you need them — your home, hotel room, office or workplace. This is particularly valued by travellers, expats and companies requiring on-site services.
You receive a comprehensive report in English. Your Medelit clinician can coordinate follow-up care, referrals, and any additional services needed — all organised through Medelit.
No referral is needed. You can book directly with any Medelit clinician. If you have a letter from your own doctor, our practitioners are happy to take it into account.
