Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Ukraine if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"I went to a clinic which serves Americans and Europeans, but I had to pay a lot of money for simple services. I don't remember my total cost of the MRI and other procedures. They found a 9mm kidney stone which was confirmed by the doctors at the V.A. hospital in New York," remarked another expat who made the move to Kiev, Ukraine.
"Ukraine is home to a wide variety of medical specialists, with some of the best selection located in the cities of Kyiv, Lviv, and Odesa. In Kyiv, the capital city, there is a large selection of medical specialists, ranging from general practitioners to specialists in cardiology, neurology, and oncology. Lviv is also home to a wide range of medical specialists, including those specializing in orthopedics, endocrinology, and gastroenterology. Odesa is known for its selection of specialists in dermatology, urology, and ophthalmology. Additionally, many of the larger cities in Ukraine, such as Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Zaporizhia, also have a wide selection of medical specialists," explained one expat living in Ukraine.
