The United States
Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in United States if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"I have not yet traveled to get care, but my friends do it as a matter of course, to Guam where the care is very good. I do have to get my natural hormone replacement therapy from a practitioner in Hawaii (our previous home), as I haven't been able to find someone to prescribe it here," remarked another expat in Saipan, US.
"Cities across the United States are known for having top-notch medical specialists. Some metropolitan areas with a high concentration of highly trained specialists include New York City, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Miami, and Houston. Other popular cities for medical specialists include Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, Seattle, Denver, and Phoenix. For specialized health care, many people also look to more remote areas like the Appalachians and Pacific Northwest, which boast world-class medical centers and resources," said a member in United States.
