Internationally recognised doctors Patients can be treated in Estonia in a large hospital or a small private clinic, as they prefer. The eye clinic of East-Tallinn Central Hospital does an average of 40 operations a day and is accredited by the International Council of Ophthalmology for treating eye tumours, and it is one of the ten clinics in Europe with the right to train eye specialists. The small Kreutzwald Eye Center offers personal care and has top of the range diagnostic equipment, and three of the doctors who work there are licensed to practice in Finland and one in Sweden. No long waits for appointments Appointments can be made quickly with members of the Medicine Estonia cluster. Patients can generally be offered an appointment for the next day, depending on the clinic and the reason for the visit, or for the next week for larger operations. Many treatments and operations for eye diseases can be done for outpatients, making it even easier for patients coming from another country to visit a doctor.
