Good Picks for Primary Care Doctors or Specialists in Cebu Area

Good luck in your search for a good competent family physician. However, I can suggest something for you. You can get a copy of your medical records from your doctor back home. I did this. It cost me $43 to have them send my all of my medical history. It was sent to my home address back in California.  My doctor here in Davao now has it all. I still have my doctor back home since my future here is uncertain. They both know the results of my periodic physicals and Rx medication. It helps to have a 2nd opinion on health matters.

Again, GOOD LUCK.

Excellent post and let's hope some worthwhile suggestions come up.

Few years since I lived in Cebu and the occasional  time in need of a doctor was not impressed. Always end up checking with Google and some advice received was just way out of line.

Great post.

Something like this many leave to the last minute or until we need one straight away.

Then it could be to late

I'm 63 and while in very good health I feel I am at the age where having some kind of primary physician is important wherever I live even if it's only for an annual physical.

One thing to consider even in the US, with its best Healthcare System in the World (joke lang), is finding a MD with whom you are on the same page. It's not enough for the doctor to just be competent or available, you have to make sure you are a good fit. I know myself and know that the type of doctor who tells me what to do without my input definitely is not a good fit. I've had to drop a couple of primary physicians over the years for this reason.

So while I don't have a recommendation in Cebu, I would encourge you to interview a couple doctors and find one you feel good about. That is absolutely what I am going to do when I move to PI next year.

 like poi t outAlthough it's been mentioned by mods it's not appropriate to comment negativity on various doctors.  I would like to mention myself and for sure others would happily relate our experiences via PM if one was received.
