Direct Care with Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera (Colegiado No. 484814280)
Getting medical care in Spain as a tourist, digital nomad or expat can be hard. Language gaps at the public urgencias, new pharmacy rules and clinic sign-up forms can all slow you down when you need care soon.
Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera offers caring, bilingual GP care by secure HD video. You can join from your phone or laptop, wherever you are. There is no need to travel to a clinic.
Official Spanish E-Prescriptions & Insurance Invoices
Prescriptions are issued only where clinically appropriate, following a genuine evaluation. They are valid throughout Spain and, under EU Directive 2011/24/EU, can be dispensed in other EU and EEA countries where the medicine is authorised, except for some specially controlled medicines.
You receive a medical report and an itemised invoice to submit to your insurer. Check your policy before booking: reimbursement is decided by your insurer and is not guaranteed.
Evidence-Based Medical Practice (EBM)
Every consultation follows evidence-based clinical protocols. Before any treatment advice, the doctor checks your medical history, the medicines you take and any reason a treatment may not suit you.
When to seek emergency in-person care
These consultations are for urgent, non-emergency care. For severe red-flag symptoms (severe chest pressure, sudden neurological deficit, severe shortness of breath), go straight to the nearest hospital emergency department or call 112.

English speaking doctor in Estepona — common questions
I am only in Estepona for a few days — can I still book?

What can an online consultation cover?
Common illnesses, new symptoms, short-term follow-ups, medical advice, a second opinion on test results from an Estepona clinic, and many certificates or reports. Each one depends on an individual medical assessment and is only given if clinically indicated.
What if I need an in-person examination in Estepona?
Some problems need a physical exam, a scan or emergency care. If yours does, you will be told clearly and pointed to the right in-person service in Estepona. In an emergency, call 112.
Which areas around Estepona do you cover?
