Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Uruguay if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"Have not had serious issues here so specifically can't say. I would however likely go to the British Hospital in Montevideo," remarked another expat who made the move to Punta del Este, Uruguay.
"We've been so healthy since being here. I generally have "white coat syndrome," so I travel with my essential oils & we get along fine. There are specialists available, esp. in MVD," explained one expat living in Punta del Diablo, Uruguay.
