The Netherlands
Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Netherlands if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"The cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam are among the top in the Netherlands for offering a wide selection of medical specialists. Other cities such as The Hague, Utrecht, and Leiden are also home to a varied range of medical professionals. The North Holland province, in particular, has a notable amount of medical specialists due to its close proximity to Amsterdam, including several leading university medical centers. Additionally, the southwestern area of the country, including the cities of Dordrecht, Tilburg, and Breda, are well-known for their excellent selection of medical practitioners," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Netherlands.
