Dr…read more Marchesi answered his emergency phone line # (found through the US consulate website), answered at midnight, spoke fluent English, and saw us promptly the next morning (on a Sunday) and performed an excellent procedure at the highest standards. When we got home, our dentist in the US was impressed himself with the work Dr. Marchesi performed. Best of all, his cost was reasonable and his bedside manner was much appreciated. His office was clean and professional. We're grateful for his help during a stressful time and recommend him to anyone in Firenze or beyond.

For years I have relied on Dr. Calamai, and I couldn't be more satisfied. His extensive expertise…read moreis evident in every treatment: he is always up to date, precise, and attentive to every detail. Beyond his competence, what truly makes him special is his kindness and the empathy with which he cares for his patients. Not only I, but also friends and family members I have referred to him have had equally positive experiences. He always manages to put people at ease, listen carefully, and find the best path for each person's well-being. A truly professional, compassionate, and reliable doctor.

I was able to get in the same day as when I called! I couldn't believe it! Dr. Calamai speaks english and understood exactly what I was going through.

There's an emergency room parking and some concrete benches beyond that there's not much else to do here other than take a look. As a registered nurse, I have a little professional curiosity, but obviously hospitals are in somewhere where you go in and take a tour and I'm on vacation. I get plenty of hospitals at home.

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!

When i arrived in italy, i was really panicked at the prices of a doctor visit, but then i found this place where prices are reasonable and more in line with what i am used to - around 45 euros for a specialist. Go to their amazing website where you can book in one instant with any specialist (any!) so you do not even need to call. You receive the info by email and hop, off you can go. You can even access the CV of doctors online if you are looking for a very specialized specialist. it really is a modern institution. Doctors i saw seem very good (how would i know for sure, you will tell me) and are more or less on time. You will have a number and you wait to see yours called on the board. Very efficient! Most of doctors i saw spoke English. The problem is that after you will need to go to a pharmacy and pay a fortune - i do not understand how medicines can be so expensive. Anyway, Misericordia at least helped you with the price of doctors.

We were to do a televisit with the tests but due to the heat and humidity, the seals were no longer sticking rendering the kits invalid. We arrived from Rome in Florence two days before the cruise.

So helpful! I had…read moretwisted my ankle while traveling the day before and was in terrible pain. I couldn't take much more, so I limped over to this Farmacia for help. Mostly through non-verbal communication, I explained what I needed to the clerk, who had me sit on a short stool in a semi-private area. He came over with a compressive support brace for my ankle and let me try it on. It fit perfectly and really helped with the pain, so I wore it out of the pharmacy. I believe it was 14 euro. I can't comment on whether or not that's a good price for the product, but I can tell you that I wore that thing for the rest of my trip. Money well-spent, for sure. Thanks, Farmacia Brizio-Mazzei!
