Looking for a private doctor in Italy who speaks English? Here’s what you need to know to book medical care as a tourist, expat, or resident — with or without insurance.
Private doctors in Italy provide fast access to general practitioners and medical specialists — often within the same day. Unlike the public healthcare system, private care doesn’t require local registration, Italian language skills, or a health insurance card (tessera sanitaria). This makes it the preferred option for tourists, expats, and digital nomads.
Through online platforms like Oladoctor, you can book a video consultation with a doctor from anywhere in Italy. Services typically include consultations for common symptoms, medical advice, prescriptions valid in Italian pharmacies, referrals, and documentation (e.g. sick notes or medical certificates). You can also consult specialists such as dermatologists, paediatricians, gynaecologists, psychiatrists, and more — all without visiting a clinic.
Private doctors follow the same medical standards and regulations as public providers, and consultations are conducted in English or other selected languages.
Finding an English-speaking doctor in Italy can be difficult through traditional clinics, especially in smaller towns or during travel. That’s why many patients turn to online medical services where language filters, doctor reviews, and booking systems are designed for international clients.
With Oladoctor, you can choose a doctor by specialty, language, availability, and price. Once you’ve booked online, your consultation takes place via secure video call — no downloads or paperwork required. After the consultation, you’ll receive your doctor’s notes, digital prescription (if needed), and any follow-up instructions by email.
This model works across all of Italy, including cities like Rome, Florence, Milan, Naples, and tourist destinations such as the Amalfi Coast, Lake Como, or Sicily.
Online medical consultations are available to anyone physically located in Italy — including tourists, temporary residents, students, seasonal workers, and long-term expats. You don’t need to be a citizen or have public insurance. All you need is a valid ID (e.g. passport or EU ID) and a stable internet connection for the call.
These services are especially useful if: • You’ve fallen ill during your trip and need immediate care • You’ve relocated and are waiting to register with the public system • You need to renew a prescription from another country • You want to speak to a doctor who understands your language and background
Online appointments are legally recognised medical consultations. Doctors can issue prescriptions, provide medical advice, and help you navigate local healthcare, even if you’re not familiar with the Italian system.
