Client Testimonials

"Our daughter Christina is studying in Florence this semester. One night she woke up with a lot of stomach pain, scared and upset. We were so very fortunate to be able to get in touch with Dr. Ban who has followed Christina's situation closely and has given both her and us a real feeling of security and excellent care. Both Dr. Ban and his staff helped us get Christina excellent diagnostic treatment quickly and very efficiently. There is just no way our daughter would have been able to get this level of attention and treatment without the assistance of Navigate. Every parent who has a child going to Italy for school and anyone from America who will be living in Italy should join Navigate. Their degree of care and patient attention and their familiarity of the Italian medical system is just outstanding."

Peter and Kathy Sachs, Stamford, CT, USA

"I recently moved to Florence this year.  I had been here many times before. Even still,  when you are in a foreign country, even if you speak the language and are comfortable with a city, you want the care you are used to and comfortable with when you get sick.  When I came down with something that concerned me, I turned to Navigate.   In that moment, speaking to an American doctor immediately put me at ease. The Navigate staff was extraordinary in their help, kindness  and assistance.  In record speed,  they got me to the right doctors,  which can be tricky in Italy.  They followed up with me after every appointment and made sure I was in the right hands and getting the care I needed.  I highly recommend their services and encourage anyone traveling short or long term to acquire them.  It is absolutely essential."

Jenufa Gleich, International Opera Singer

"We have lived in Tuscany part-time for several years and, although one of us is totally fluent in the language, we truly value the assistance and  care  that Navigate provides us. When abroad, it's difficult to know where to turn for quality health care when it is needed, and it's not always possible or practical to return home where care is more familiar. Recently, while one of us was undergoing a serious retinal issue, we contacted the staff at Navigate. They were able to refer us to an experienced retinal specialist and quickly schedule an appointment, schedule a retinal ultrasound, and coordinate follow-up care. Knowing that Navigate  is connected to the best specialists in the area, and knowing that they will guide us through every step of any medical situation, truly offers us peace of mind."
