Having worked in the Pharmaceutical industry for over 15 years, I have seen and gotten to know more doctors than most. I know that there are many doctors who are good at treating the disease but not so good at treating the patient. There are other doctors who are very good with patients, but are sometimes lacking in their medical skills. To find a doctor who is good at both is unfortuately rare.

I have a found a doctor who is not only good at both, he is perhaps the best doctor I have ever met. His name is Dr Cervin.

It is not just me. I have mentioned Dr Cervin to my friends and I know that some are seeing him. Most express their gratitude for the referal. This guy is that good.

Dr. Cervin studied medicine is Australia. His passport maybe Lithuanian, but his medical approach is very much western. He is that GP who you just feel confident in and comfortable with. He offers old-fashioned patient care with modern medical treatment. The ideal mix that you rarely find anymore. Needless to say his English is perfect Australian English.

Dr. Cervin's assistant is pure Lithuanian. She is very kind but her English is limited. So, if you call and speak English, she will probably connect you through to Dr. Cervin directly.

The other nice thing about Dr. Cervin is his location near the Cathedral Square. For many expats and visitors to Vilnius, this is very convenient.

All this comes at a reasonable price. At the moment the cost of a consulation is about 150 lta (approx. euro 50) plus the cost of any exams or proceedures. However, Dr. Cervin always consults with his patient before ordering any of these. So, you will not be suprised by the bill.

So if you are looking for the best GP in Vilnius, call up Dr Cervin and say G'day.
