SOS DOCTORS are available 24 hours a day 365 days a year including weekends and holidays to reach the patient’s home as quickly as possible. The need for medical assistance at home and the importance of examining the patient in their own environment led to the establishment of SOS DOCTORS in Athens in 1993.

ON-CALL DOCTORS FOR HOME VISITS 24/7
Call +30 210 82 11 888 from a landline or mobile phone to request a doctor at home.
You will speak with a doctor or nurse at the SOS DOCTORS Call Center.
The coordinating physician records the patient’s symptoms and then selects the appropriate specialist who will come to assist you.
Additionally, the SOS DOCTORS coordinator provides crucial instructions to patients or their relatives when they are in panic, until the doctor arrives.
Then, an SOS DOCTOR will rush to the patient’s home and be by their side as quickly as possible, arriving in a specially equipped vehicle with an emergency light to ensure immediate access to the case.
SUPPORT SERVICES FOR DOCTORS (NURSING AND DIAGNOSTIC SERVICES)
Beyond the home visit by a doctor, a full range of medical services is provided for the effective management of any health issues. Ambulance transport, diagnostic tests, and home hospitalization are also available.
The SOS DOCTOR remains at the patient’s home until the crisis is resolved, equipped with the necessary tools required by each specialty for home care.
The SOS DOCTOR always maintains communication with both the patient and the attending physician, as the philosophy of SOS DOCTOR is never to marginalize the attending or family doctor but to temporarily substitute them during critical moments when urgent assistance is necessary.
HOSPITAL AT HOME (DOCTORS, NURSES, DIAGNOSTIC TESTS)
Medical visits performed by SOS DOCTORS around the clock at the patient’s home are recognized worldwide as the most patient-friendly model of primary care, where the doctor examines the patient in a familiar environment. This environment provides valuable information about the patient’s medical history, current condition, and ongoing treatment.
According to an SOS DOCTORS study, 9 out of 10 patients did not need to travel or suffer unnecessarily searching for medical help at hospitals. Home doctors in Athens were able to address their problems more effectively at home, immediately, at a lower cost, and without the need for emergency transport.
This is especially true for patients with mobility difficulties such as the elderly and those with chronic or movement impairments. The SOS DOCTOR can provide effective and compassionate care.
Furthermore, necessary medical tests and home treatments in Athens are promptly performed by experienced nurses, always in collaboration with the attending physician. This helps patients avoid unnecessary hospital admissions and the additional problems and difficulties of waiting in clinics and outpatient departments.
The essential medical equipment, adherence to medical ethics, continuous evaluation of the services offered, and the accumulated experience of our on-call doctors ensure the best possible management of cases at the patient’s location.
HOME DOCTOR PRICES
The cost for a home visit is fixed, and doctors providing home care in Athens always issue an official receipt, which the patient can submit to their insurance company or tax authorities.
