ENGLISH SPEAKING DOCTORS IN BORDEAUX AND VICINITY Disclaimer: U.S. Embassies and Consular Offices maintain lists of physicians and medical facilities for distribution to American citizens needing medical care. The inclusion of a specific physician or medical facility does not constitute a recommendation and the Department of State assumes no responsibility or liability for the professional ability or reputation of, or the quality of services provided by, the medical professionals, medical facilities, or air ambulance services whose names appear on such lists. Names are listed alphabetically, and the order in which they appear has no other significance. Professional credentials and areas of expertise are provided directly by the medical professional, medical facility, or air ambulance service. The following institutions, individuals, hospitals and/or doctors, have informed the Embassy that they are qualified to practice in the categories specified, and that they are sufficiently competent in the English language to provide services to English-speaking clients. The Embassy has neither the authority nor the facilities to act as a medical grievance committee. If you encounter unsatisfactory services by parties listed, however, set forth the circumstances in writing and the complaint will be noted in our files. If errors have occurred in this list, they will be corrected in the next edition. Each person listed should bring any errors to the Embassy's attention, as well as any changes in names, addresses, telephone numbers and basic information. All corrections and modifications should be sent to the American Presence Post in Bordeaux. Important Note: Before making an appointment to see a medical professional in France, ask for consultation fees in advance in order to avoid issues concerning payment for services. A more complete list of physicians can be found in the online or French Yellow Pages. General practitioners are listed under Médecin Généralistes, & specialists under médecins qualifiés and their specialty, e.g. pédiatrie, cardiologue etc. EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICE (SAMU): 15 S.A.M.U. should be called for life-threatening conditions that require the assistance of trained medical professionals. These include: cardiac or respiratory emergencies (chest pain and/or shortness of breath), severe bleeding, severe asthma, stroke, and trauma resulting in multiple injuries. Be brief and concise when speaking with S.A.M.U. and give the precise address or location (if at home or in another building, please indicate the floor and the door code if any), your phone number, the caller and victim's names, the age of the victim and a description of his medical condition. You may be transferred directly to an English-speaking specialist in the emergency services who will identify the type of emergency based upon the information you give (he/she may decide to refer your call to another ambulance service, i.e. SOS Medecins, in the case of a less critical emergency). A family member or bystander who is aware of the situation may escort the emergency medical team if needed. SOS Medecins Tel: 05 56 44 74 74 A private company for less critical medical emergencies and house calls.
