Until recently my wife and I were registered with the Lo Marabo health centre in Quesada.  Having just received our full SIP cards and living in Heredades, we are required to move to Almoradi health centre. Are there any recommendations for interpreters, we both have a grasp of day to day Spanish but baulk at medical Spanish.

Also an explanation as to which part of the health centre we attend for a GP appointment would be most welcome. In advance nany thanks.

Most of doctors and nurses speak good english but the recptionist might not. I know when I went there the recptionist only spoke spanish but the doctors and nurses spoke english.

Yes, I agree with Tom2023. My doctor spoke good English. If you write down you have an appointment today with the Dr. in Spanish,  show to the receptionist.  Also, " where do I go", they will point to the direction,  hopefully. Use Google Translate.  You will be fine.
