Can anybody tell me where I can go to a doctor that speaks a bit of English as my spainish is not good enough in medical terminology. Pego or surrounding towns I don't mind travelling as far a Denia.

Have you not been assigned a doctor through your healthcare provider? It may be cheaper for you to pay for an interpreter for an hour at the local clinic than to see an English-speaking private doctor.

What are your healthcare arrangements? 

Are you privately insured or public health? 

This will help to direct you best.

I would suggest Pego health centre, the doctors speak English although you would have to get past the receptionist if you don't have the app. 

I don't know the situation regarding face to face appointments, it might still be a telephone consultation.
