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 am a 75 year old woman and fell hitting the back of my head directly on the sidewalk. The…read moreexperience in the hospital and during the ambulance ride was dreadful. 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.

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. I was recently in Italy…read morefor 3 weeks and midway through, developed an excruciating pinched nerve in my back that increased over time. 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!

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.

After giving the younger sales man, who spoke great English, 20 euro, he asked if I had 75 cents. I pulled out another euro, and for change I received 5 euro. I was robbed of 10,25 euro. It's my fault for not looking at the money, however everyone should be made aware of the practices of this specific Farmacia. I also received a receipt stating that I had given the clerk the exact amount of 5,75 euro and received no change... I hope they have cameras in the store as I am going back tomorrow to speak with the owner/manager. Ruberà i vostri soldi se non state attenti. Siamo andati in per l'acquisto di un bendaggio elastico, che costa 5,75 euro. Dopo aver dato l'uomo di vendite più giovane, che parlava un ottimo inglese, 20 €, ha chiesto se avevo 75 centesimi. Ho tirato fuori un euro, e per il cambiamento che ho ricevuto 5 €. Sono stato derubato di 10,25 euro. E 'colpa mia per non guardare il denaro, ma tutti dovrebbero essere a conoscenza delle pratiche di questo specifico Farmacia. Ho anche ricevuto una ricevuta attestante che avevo dato all'impiegato la quantità esatta di 5,75 euro e ha ricevuto nessun cambiamento ... Spero che abbiano le telecamere nel negozio come sto di nuovo domani per parlare con il proprietario / gestore.
