- I am only in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria for a few days — can I still book?
- Yes. Tourists, digital nomads and short stays in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria are all welcome. A video call is often simpler than finding an English-speaking clinic near your hotel or Las Canteras beach.
- I am staying in Gran Canaria and need a doctor — what are my options?
- For an emergency, call 112. For an urgent problem that is not an emergency, you can book an online consultation in English with a licensed doctor and get medical advice from your hotel or apartment, wherever you are staying in Gran Canaria. If the doctor visit shows you need an exam, a test or treatment in person, he will tell you which local medical care to use: the SCS (Servicio Canario de Salud) health centre, a private clinic or hospital urgencias.
- Is the doctor actually licensed to practise in Spain?
- Yes. Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera is a physician licensed in Spain (Nº Colegiado 484814280). He is a member of the Ilustre Colegio Oficial de Médicos de Bizkaia. He sees patients across Spain by secure video, including in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
- What can an online consultation cover?
- Common illnesses, new symptoms, short-term follow-ups, medical advice, a second opinion on test results from a Las Palmas de Gran Canaria 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 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria?
- 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 Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. In an emergency, call 112.
- Is there an English-speaking doctor for Gran Canaria and Lanzarote?
- Yes, by video on every Canary island, including Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera, a GP licensed in Spain (No. 484814280), consults in English every day from 07:30 to 20:30 mainland Spain time, which is 06:30 to 19:30 in the Canaries. There is no clinic on the islands and no home visits; if you need to be seen in person, he will tell you where. In an emergency, call 112.
