SV Barracuda 10-2020 Dr Carpentier is a general doctor, but with an interest in diving-related/
hyperbaric medicine. Appointments not often needed. We needed a prescription; we called up, were
told to come right round and within 15 minutes were in his office. After examination, the prescription
and useful advice were issued and we were on our way for what seems the standard consultation fee of
3,600 xpf. His office is at the ocean end of Rue Paul Gauguin, right next door to the big Pharmacie du
Port, near Papeete marina.

Walk-in
Many cruisers we know use Dr. Prevost in Pape'ete and have come back with great reviews. Not only is
he a good physician, personable, and has a great bedside manner, he speaks French and English.
He recently moved his practice from the Clinique Paofai to a new location.
He has taken over the old veterinary clinic. There is a pharmacy next door: Pharmacie Maeva.
To make an appointment, scheduling is now even easier, he has an online booking site. Often times
appointments can be booked the same day or the next day. You can still contact his office by phone for
an appointment as well: https://doctofenua.pf/doctors/5fc90f4df1dda7004fb47143

was great, super personable and funny. We highly recommended him.
10-2018 SV Hedonism
We arrived without appointment and he advised that he would see me but I would need to wait a bit so
he could see his patients that had appointments. That is fair.We waited about 1.hours. He spent about
30 minutes with me and gave me a requisition for various blood tests. We also made an appointment for
the next morning to go over the results. The Lab is the next door over from his office.
Cost for this 1st visit was XPF 7000
The lab work was 3990 that included various blood work and urine tests.
They also gave me a code and password so I could view the results on-line later in the day. (as they did
for later test including the Cat Scan. It even allowed me to download the actual Cat Scan!

All medical staff several cruisers have used have been of a high standard. Consultation visits are
currently costed at 3,600 xpf (approx $34 US). In Papeete there are two General Practice physicians
across from the Tourist Office on the quay. Dr Andrew Carpe speaks reasonably good English and has
specialist training hyperbaric medicine 40 4256 67. Walk-ins are often seen without long waits.
Specialists and technical procedures are available at hospital and at two private clinics. The hospital
prices appear to be substantially less expensive than the private clinics. For example these charges were
incurred at the main hospital: Sonogram of neck (thyroid) --$64.80; Chest Xray --$46.80; Consultation
with ENT including upper airway endoscopy -- $55.80 (in US dollars.) Hospital appointments can be a
long wait but our experience is walkins are generally seen within two hours. No problem since most
cruisers are “time millionaires.” The main Hospital for FP is Hospital du Taaone on Charles de Gaulle ask
at the bus station near the Marie if they go past the hopital.
