Every week we receive messages from people asking for advice on French doctors in London. As expected, a lot of them to be from newly arrived expats, but surprisingly, I found that many londoners were as  equally interested in finding them.

Dr Chantal Dewast (Gynecologist)

Doctor Chantal Dewast qualified as a specialist in gynecology from the University of Paris in 1980. She has been working at Cromwell Hospital since 1987, where she deals exclusively in gynecological issues, ranging from contraception and genital infections, to menopause and gynecological check-ups.

She does not do any obstetric or surgical work, however many women chose to be followed by her in the early stages of pregnancy as she Works alongside many obstetricians and can offer advice as well as organising any necessary check ups and helping you to sign up for a maternity Ward.

Cromwell Hospital considers her a general practitioner specialised in Well Woman and Family Planning.

For more information, you can visit her website, www.doctordewast.co.uk, or contact her directly by calling 020 7460 2000.

The French Dental Practice

The French Dental Practice in London is centrally located at 100 Harley Street.

Dr Pascal Sulzer (Vet)

Dr Pascal Sulzer is a graduate of the highly respected Ecole Vétérinaire de Maisons-Alfort and of the Paris Faculty of Medicine. For ten years now he has had his French veterinary practice just off Sloane Square, which is also one of the big animal ER centres in London open 24/7.

He also offers home-calls at the same price as appointments at his practice (consultation: £43.95), at no extra cost if visits are in Chelsea, South Kensington, Notting Hill, Belgravia or Fulham.

Dr Sulzer is particularly experienced in matters of entrances and exits into the UK for domestic animals, and will be of great help in simplifying these procedures which are a cause of anxiety for many an owner (and vet!).

Dispensaire Français

Located in Hammersmith, in the heart of London, the Dispensaire Francais (French surgery) offers to French and Francophone people in difficulty (those who are not yet on an NHS list, who have trouble communicating in English and/or have no private medical insurance) consultations with General Practitioners and specialists in Gynaecology, Ophthalmology, Cardiology, ENT, Orthopaedics, Paediatrics, Psychology and Psychiatry. Consultations are given by French speaking consultants from London hospitals, as well as by French doctors living in London.

Consultations are by appointment only.
