Dr Andrea is a brilliant Dr who did regular checkups and was there to admit me into hospital. Fantastic service and a caring Dr.
I called Dr Andrea Guerriero when I had bronchitis in Rome and he attended our apartment within 90 minutes. His bedside manner and medical knowledge are excellent, as are his English. I started to feel better within 48 hours of starting the treatment he prescribed and was able to enjoy the rest of my Italian holiday, including strenuous days at Herculaneum and Pompei, in the August 2017 heatwave. I could not recommend Dr Guerriero more highly.
I am so grateful to have been put in touch with Andrea, we have used his service for many different reasons and every time have been given the most comforting, supportive and informative service! Very genuine and caring doctor, highly recommend!
My 18 year old daughter was studying in Rome and developed severe stomach pain which turned out to be appendicitis. Dr. Andrea treated her has though she had been a patient for years! He was in constant contact with her and coordinated her surgical team in Rome. This was great comfort to us as we tried to coordinate travel from the states. He called us in Boston to explain what was going on and to ensure that she was in good hands, which gave us great comfort being so far away. He even helped us navigate all of the insurance forms! Dr Andrea was AWESOME! Highly, highly recommend!
The best medical care I have received in Italy, after living and working here for over 20 years. Dr. Andrea Guerriero provided such personalized and empathetic medical care. He was consistently available for questions via email, he updated my prescriptions regularly and was willing to talk to any pharmacist to ensure that my prescriptions were filled immediately. When I needed a chest x-ray he met me at a Lovely private hospital, where there was ZERO waiting time. Best of all, he solved my medical issue with an innovative diagnosis! I have spent more hours than I care to remember in emergency rooms and clinics in Italy and can honestly say that this service Eliminates all the hassle. I have nothing against the Italian hospital system-- for socialized medicine it offers very well trained doctors-- it's just that you can spend so much time waiting if you do not have a serious problem. This service is invaluable because it allows you to by-pass all the annoying red tape. Fabulous service!
Andrea was extremely helpful when I had a sudden back spasm while in Rome. He came to my hotel room and was able to give me a shot and prescribe medication which helped to alleviate the problem. He also was very helpful in writing a letter explaining my medical situation for my insurance company back in Australia. Would definitely recommend.
I have been studying abroad in Rome and just caught a horrible case of strep throat. Dr. Andrea was one of the best doctors I've seen, and even made a late night visit to my hotel on a Sunday night. Highly recommend, friendly service, very accommodating.
Very quick to respond messages and cooperative when setting times that work for both the patient and the doctor.

TESTIMONIALS
Dr. Andrea Guerriero has been both a life-saver, both for our American institution in Rome and for our family. With perfect English and an equally perfect understanding of the Italian medical system and doctors in Rome, he has literally helped save the life of one of the students in our program. And he has been there for every crisis in our family – from ear infections to trauma. He even found someone to do an ultrasound in our home! Clear, straightforward and professional, he is a great doctor and a wonderful guide through the Italian medical system – which is excellent, but bewildering to foreigners. I cannot recommend he – or Medinaction – highly enough.
Dr. Kim Bowes - Director of American Academy in Rome
I was so glad to have found the services of Dr. Andrea G while visiting Rome. I was not feeling well but dreaded having to go to the hospital in a foreign country. The service is amazing. Within a couple of minutes I was chatting with the Doctor himself describing my symptoms. Shortly after, Dr. G came to see me to the place I was staying at. Dr. G was very attentive and answered all my questions. He prescribed medication for my condition and the next day I was feeling much better. He even followed up with my husband to make sure I was feeling better. The fees are pretty reasonable as well. I wish we had the same type of service here in the US!!

The service you get with med in action is 10/10. I was very unwell in Rome, with bronchitis, and an ear infection. Dr Andrea Guerriero came to see me at my hotel. I was due to fly out the next night, Unfortunately I couldn’t fly but was prescribed all the medication I would need to get me on the soonest flight out. He provided me with everything I needed for travel insurance and did a follow up appointment. I’d recommend med in action to anyone feeling unwell in Rome.

“This service is AMAZING. I was really sick when I landed in Rome and needed urgent care, and I sent an email to Med in Action before I took off. When I landed, they had already replied, and in no time I had a doctor at my hotel. They’re professional, prompt, and very, very friendly and comforting. I plan to tell basically everyone I know about MedinAction 🙂 Thank you guys for saving my vacation!!!!!”
Lauren
“Being sick as a foreigner can be a real headache, but not with a service like this! Don’t hesitate to take advantage of Med in Action. After suffering from a cough for four weeks, I finally saw the doctor and not only was it quick, easy, and professional, but I was better within a week! Thanks Med in Action!”
