Medical Specialists |
The aim of this section of our website is to put together information (mostly information that is already available to you on the net,) in the belief that with this information at your fingertips, it will be easier for you to end up seeing the most suitable medical specialists and to avoid seeing the not-so-good ones. |
We are in the very early stages of putting together this section of our website to assist those wishing to do some research of their own into which specialist doctor it might be best for them to see, rather than just leaving it to their GP to decide. Initially we are centering what we are doing around the list of some 270 specialists put together by the San - just because it is a longer and more comprehensive list than any others we have so far come across. |
A list of the 53 different specialisations of the more that 270 specialists on the list put together by the San. |
