- I'm on a study-abroad programme in Salamanca. Can I book?
- Yes. Students on study-abroad programmes, Spanish-language courses and Erasmus semesters are welcome. Visits are by private video in English, €50 for 15 minutes, with an itemised invoice you can send to your insurer. Students under 18 are seen with a parent or guardian.
- Can I get a note for my school or university?
- A medical certificate can be assessed within the video visit. It is issued only if it is clinically appropriate after a genuine evaluation, and neither issuance nor acceptance is guaranteed. Check first what your programme accepts.
- Where is the public hospital in Salamanca?
- Hospital Universitario de Salamanca has a 24-hour emergency department. In an emergency, call 112. For urgent problems that are not emergencies, a video visit lets you be seen from home.
- Which areas around Salamanca do you cover?
- By video, all of them: the old town, the university district, Garrido, Pizarrales and nearby towns such as Santa Marta de Tormes. You need a phone or laptop and a quiet spot with a good connection. Dr. Yelamo does not do home visits.
- Is Dr. Yelamo licensed to practise in Spain?
- Yes. Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera is a physician licensed in Spain (Nº Colegiado 484814280) and a member of the Ilustre Colegio Oficial de Médicos de Bizkaia. He sees patients by secure video in Salamanca and across Spain, and you always see the same named doctor.
- What can a video visit cover?
- Common illnesses, new symptoms and short-term follow-ups. Reviews of suitable long-term medicines. Advice, or a second opinion on test results. Children and pregnant patients can be seen too. Treatment and prescriptions are issued solely at the doctor's discretion, only if clinically indicated after a video assessment. Controlled medicines, such as sleeping pills, strong painkillers, stimulants and gabapentinoids, are not prescribed online.
- What if I need to be examined in person?
- 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 Salamanca. In an emergency, call 112: the video service is for urgent, non-emergency care.
