Technically, the answer is yes. However, it depends on the choice available. In my Salud the most popular Doctor has a waiting list wanting to change to  his patient list. So changing is next to impossible.  Perhaps it is wiser to understand and resolve the issue you have with the Doctor. If it's bedside manner rather than his/her competence then patient patience is required! If, you are very unhappy then ask at the reception desk to change but understand there are often two sides to most stories. Good luck.

You haven't mentioned the problem. If it is a language problem, I suggest you get  translator to go with you on your next appointment 

Cheers, J

Yes so I've been told and a couple of people I have spoken to also had problems with the same doctor, all I asked is if you can change doctors at the same salud ty

In theory you can apply to change doctors. But since Covid there is a shortage of doctors. So it's difficult to get a change.

If you give us more details as to the problems maybe we can help more. Maybe a cultural difference.

Cheers, J
