Our 11 year old son had a bad cough that was not getting better. The Medical Center got us in same…read moreday and the receptionist was kind and spoke excellent English. After a very short wait, the doctor greeted all of us and gave our son a basic exam in his office. He was very kind and very good with children. He prescribed a steroid, a six day antibiotic treatment and a herbal cough syrup that we picked up immediately at a pharmacy near the duomo for under €30. The office visit cost us €60 and they accepted credit cards. This was a very pleasant experience! Cheers to Dr. Smorlesi and his staff. Grazie!

This is a fantastic service especially if English is your spoken language.

By the time we arrived in Florence, I could not leave my Hotel (Orto de Medici) due to the pain. The hotel (10/10) contacted this service and Dr Smorlesi arrived quickly at my hotel room. He asked pertinent questions and (without imaging) assessed cervical spine issues. He wrote appropriate prescriptions and gave me a shot of cortisone in my hip. This rescued me! I had been very anxious about flying back to Seattle in so much discomfort but was able to do so comfortably. Dr Smorlesi was professional, respectful and approachable. His fee was more than reasonable at €180. This experience will be remembered as much as seeing The David!

Crowded most of the time and there is huge line to go inside. Everything is in order. So if you…read moredon't like to stay in the line, then i'd suggest to come as early as possible then the chances of finding the line to be short will be higher. The number of stairs going up can be a lot and the workout of going up and down can be quite intensive. If you are faint on heart, then you may have to take proper precautions and bring drinks to stay hydrated. They don't allow backpacks into the Duomo, so you may have to leave it to the backpack check in location. The view is majestic and the architecture is full of details and its surprising that it was done centuries ago... Definitely worth coming to this place!

I was placed in a room with people screaming and talking all night long. They stitched my head up while lying in bed and poured a solution all over my head during the procedure. Doctors did not perform this. I didn't feel safe or clean during the surgery. The next morning when they thought my husband was returning, they quickly moved me to another semi-private room. Since I was an American I feel like they overlooked me. On several occasions I asked if I had a concussion and no one could give me an answer. Basically, I was to just lie there until they got around to me. They said the CT was fine. In addition, I should have been taken to Careggi University Hospital since they did not know the extent of my head wound.
