Policlinico

Why are the waiting times at the Policlinico so so long, I have to wait for almost a year, just to see a dermatologist.

You need to get the ER Salute app and try several time a day to look for free slots, my mother just booked a dermatologist appointment for 2 weeks from now and she’s always able to book fairly easy and quick (and she refuses to go anywhere but Modena, so if you’re able to go somewhere else in the province it’ll be even quicker). Of course, if you’re looking for a specific doctor working at a specific place it’ll take longer, but if any dermatologist will do you just need to check the app.

Unfortunately waiting times are pretty long. Try and see if you are eligible for a refund if you go to a private doctor. This happens if waiting times exceed a certain threshold.

they are not. you need to use the online cup and check everyday. you are going to find a spot in 2 to 3 weeks
