Since we wrote our recent article about English-speaking dentists in Geneva, we have had a number of requests via our website, to receive our list of recommended doctors and Healthcare providers practicing in Geneva, Vaud and neighbouring France.
As our readers know, we only provide information on businesses and services that have been recommended to us, or that we have experienced ourselves, so this list does not cover all medical practitioners in the region. For this you should consult a phone directory. However, if you want to find someone with a proven track record, indeed someone recommended to us by one of our readers, then you should ask for a copy of our list.
Going to the doctors and dentists can be quite a scary experience for many people, so it is not surprising that, even armed with a list of recommended practitioners, you may be tempted to put off making an appointment until the last possible moment. However, this need not be the case. Many of the professionals on our list have years of experience working with nervous patients and, indeed, one dentist on our list positively encourages them to visit her!

A new book has just been published outlining everything you need to know about looking after babies between the ages of 0 and 3 years.
Written from the perspective of a young father, Cyril Jost, “L’essentiel sur les bébés” presents a simple and precise overview of key topics such as breastfeeding, nutrition, sleep, nappy training, and development. With the support of more than 80 original infographs and amusing illustrations by another local Dad, Pierre Wazem, the book attempts to offer “the facts” on babies in a truly non-partisan way, which neither lectures nor pre-judges parents for the choices they make.
Asked why he decided to write this book now, Cyril told knowitall.ch “As a former journalist, now working for a big publishing firm in Lausanne, I have a penchant for “facts” and wrote my first book on economics in 2007. With the arrival of my 2 daughters, now aged 2 and 4, I looked high and low in the bookstores for an informative book on babies, without all the “tips", “suggestions" and sometimes biased recommendations you get when you become a parent. However, despite the huge number of books on this subject, nothing satisfied my need for precise, factual information.”

A new center devoted entirely to the well-being of men has just opened in Geneva.
Located on the Rue du Cendrier, the Masculin Center in Geneva provides a wide range of aesthetic and therapeutic treatments, which have been carefully tailored to the needs of men.
The new center builds on the success of its sister company in Lausanne, which has been offering treatments to men of all ages since 2001.
Owners, Claudio Bocchia and Yeni Barbosa, told knowitall.ch, “Body care treatments are no longer the preserve of women. Nowadays, men appreciate, just as much as women, the importance of looking after their appearance, and taking time out for themselves when the stresses of everyday life become too much.”
