How do I check a doctor in Greece?

The Panhellenic Medical Association (PIS) and local medical associations administer medical professional authorisation and registration in Greece. A public national search can identify the doctor's local association, which can then help confirm the details of the doctor's status.

How do I look up a doctor?

Open Greece's national medical-register service and enter part of the doctor's surname. The government describes this service as a way to identify the relevant medical association. The search is in Greek, with English government guidance available.

Use the association identified in the result to request confirmation of current practice authorisation. Give it the doctor's full name and professional details. Association affiliation is useful for locating the right body, but it should not be treated as a complete public licence-status or disciplinary record.

How do I check a specialist or a dentist?

Ask for the precise recognised specialist title and the authority that issued or recognised it. Confirm medical titles with PIS or the appropriate association's specialty office. Society membership is different from an official specialist title. PIS's website is the medical professional route.

For dentists, contact the Hellenic Dental Association (EOO) or the relevant local dental association with the person's full name and registration details. EOO's certificate and specialty information provides the official process. Ask for confirmation of current authorisation and any claimed specialty rather than relying on the dentist's diploma alone.

Does the register show disciplinary action?

Ask the medical or dental association what current restrictions and disciplinary information it can disclose. The national doctor search is an association locator, so a result there should not be described as a complete disciplinary clearance. Request clarification when the public information leaves professional standing unclear.

What about doctors trained abroad?

Foreign qualifications require the applicable Greek recognition and practice-authorisation procedure. Specified foreign specialty titles have formal recognition routes, but that does not mean every overseas credential receives automatic approval. The government's specialist-recognition guidance explains one such route.

Foreign-trained dentists should use EOO's applicable qualification, foreign-document and authorisation procedures. Ask for the local recognition evidence alongside the overseas title.

What do US, Canadian or UK titles mean here?

An overseas title needs both an issuer check and the applicable Greek recognition; the foreign-credentials guide explains how to keep those checks separate.
