How to find a General Practitioner, doctor, physician


Doctors in Lima

General Practitioners (GPs) are family doctors. They are often called doctors or el médico /  la médica in Spanish. Many doctors also speak English, but many of the staff do not.

Doctors provide referrals to more specialised doctors called consultants. You cannot see a consultant for the first time without a referral. Some GPs will also call to your home if you are sick.

Consultations are inexpensive. Expect to pay at least 80 Soles for the initial consultation and follow-up. It is typical to pay for your exam before being seen. Treatments, medications, and specialists are an additional fee.
