Yes you can visit a specialist doctor without a referral from your Personal Doctor, however the fee that you will have to pay will be 25 euros instead of 6 euros if you have a referral. Within the visit the specialist doctor can refer you for any investigations required and these will be through the GHS system without additional costs.
