Helpful tips for a seamless visit
Complete the form below to preregister in our system. This is essential for swift access to FirstMed’s medical care when required. Alternatively, our staff will register you upon appointment booking.
FirstMed is a multi-specialty primary care clinic.
That means you can access general practitioners and pediatricians during our regular opening hours. We also offer regular specialist hours to meet our patients’ needs. Please check our list of specialists here.
Some specialists, such as cardiologists, neurologists, nephrologists, and pulmonologists, require a medical referral before an appointment can be scheduled. This ensures that our patients receive the appropriate care and attention they need. Referrals can be obtained from a FirstMed doctor or an outside physician.
To ensure swift appointment booking, please provide your name and date of birth in the year, month, and day format so we can find your registration details in our medical records.
Also, describe briefly the health issue you would like to see our doctor about.
How to book an appointment?
Phone
Simply call our main number: +36 1 224 9090; we will answer in English.
At peak times, we can get very busy with constant calls. Therefore, our staff can only answer your call after a certain period of time. If your call is urgent, please stay on the line and let it ring, or send us a message.
For non-urgent matters, email phonenurse@firstmedcenter.com; we will respond to your message as soon as possible.
Chat
Alternatively, reach us via Google Maps chat or the blue chatbox on our website [lower right corner].
There may be some gaps in answering the chat while we are busy with phone calls. Please wait some time if there is a delayed response, or call if your matter is urgent, as we prioritize the phone calls.
Appointment confirmation
Upon successful booking, you will promptly receive a confirmation email within 10 to 15 minutes. Please take a moment to review the details for accuracy. Should you not receive a confirmation within 30 minutes, contact us; the email address may be incorrect, or the message could be in your spam folder.
Access healthcare from any location with our virtual doctor consultations. When visiting a doctor is not possible, our Telemedicine service lets you connect with our doctors anywhere on any device with a camera, microphone, speaker, and stable internet connection.
Use your international private health insurance or travel medical insurance and have your medical bill settled by your insurer. FirstMed’s direct billing service makes this easy.
However, if your travel insurance policy operates on a reimbursement claims process, you’ll need to pay your medical costs at your visit. But don’t worry; our billing process makes filing a claim for reimbursement with your insurance company easy and straightforward.
Remember that travel medical insurance only covers the treatment of an illness or injury that occurred (or started) abroad, outside your home country, during the validity period of your insurance policy.
To ensure that our schedule runs smoothly and to respect the value of your time, we kindly ask that you arrive 10 minutes before your appointment.
Sometimes, there is a lot of traffic, especially during rush hour; please plan accordingly. If you are checked more than 10 minutes past the starting time, the doctor may refuse to see you for lack of time.
We kindly request that you avoid missing your scheduled appointment. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please do so at least 24 hours in advance. This avoids any inconvenience and respects the time of other patients and the medical staff.
Thank you for your cooperation!
