⚠️ The trap

In English, 'the doctor visited me' means a house call. In Italian, 'il dottore mi ha visitato' is the standard way to say the doctor examined you — even in the clinic.

To say "to go to see a person or place" in Italian:

visitare (same meaning, plus medical use)

"visitare" in English means:

to visit (a place); to examine medically (a doctor visits a patient)

"Il dottore mi ha visitato stamattina."

"The doctor examined me this morning."
