Doctors and dentists in Crete

There are plenty of good doctors in Crete. Many have done some of their training abroad and will speak one or more foreign languages fluently. Most of the doctors are specialists, the concept of a general practitioner being quite new here.
You will need to pay the doctor for a visit (in general it is pretty reasonable) and arrange for a refund through your health insurance by yourself if you are entitled to it.

There are also plenty of good dentists. One thing worth noting there: dental technicians are excellent and much cheaper than in Northern Europe. If you are ever in need of major dental work, it is worth considering taking a holiday in Crete and having the work done here. You'll have a holiday and still save on what you would have spent in your country!

I would like to build a list of good doctors by foreign language spoken and would appreciate recommendations for inclusion in the list. For the time being, here are the addresses of my doctor, dentist and physiotherapist:
