Hello,

A little introduction of my situation:
I don't know if it's me but I have had bad experiences with doctors in Neuchâtel. I feel like they don't care and they just want to count time to put in on the medical bill.

I swear, I haven't had any solution to my past problems. Two years ago, I had an allergic reaction to something and after several exams, the doctor said he didn't know what it was. He gave me some pills in case it happened again and told me to come back if that happened.

I went to the gynaecologist and the same, no solution to my problem, he even said "I'm sorry but I have no idea what is happening". When I received the bill, I noticed he had charged a breast check up... I do that regularly by myself and what he did was just to touch my breast without really checking if there were lumps. He literally just touched them

Anyway.... I have been suffering from a pain where the appendix is supposed to be and I would like to go to a good doctor who can help me, someone who takes his job seriously and care about the health of their patients.

I am tired of spending my money in "I don't know"s.

Could someone give me a good reference?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hello, thank you for your reply.

However, getting a French speaking doctor wouldn't be a problem for me, I can come with my husband or mother in law who can translate.

I am looking for quality.

Belgianmum speaks well of two doctors in her helpful post from that thread:

What exactly is a "good doctor" ?

I think the answer to that question would require an entire thread of its own.

The charge for the "breast checkup " is one reason why I would rather cross the border in France to consult there, less surprises of this sort.

As you experienced, sometimes doctors don't have answers (for some people doctors often don't have answers, it depends on the condition), in that case I would rather not have a large bill to pay. Medicine unfortunately does not have an answer , or the right answer, to every health problem, but we tend to always expect a solution from doctors .

Very sensible, your Swiss insurance won't reimburse you either

There are people who pay Swiss insurance premiums but don't use it and for a couple of things a year simply pop over the border for treatment/medication. The saving can be quite significant if you really don't use the Swiss services all year. This is not our situation but I know people do this.

Are “breast checkups” free in France? I didn’t realise that.

Where exactly does she say it is free ?


You think the doctor feels suffieciently re-imbursed for his time and expertise by coping a feel of somebody tits ?
