Business Description
Stay healthy on the coast – reliable care for locals, expats, and visitors 👨⚕️
From Alicante to Jávea, the Costa Blanca is home to modern healthcare facilities and experienced doctors offering both public and private services. Many towns have multilingual GPs, specialists, and walk-in clinics, making it easy to access care whether you’re a full-time resident, part-time visitor, or on holiday.
Private clinics are especially popular with expats and often offer faster appointments, English-speaking staff, and international insurance handling. Services commonly include:
General medicine and family doctors
Dermatology, cardiology, and other specialties
Women’s health and gynaecology
Diagnostic services (X-rays, blood tests, ultrasounds)
Vaccinations and travel health
Emergency and urgent care
Our tip: Keep your EHIC/GHIC or private insurance card handy — most clinics accept both, but it’s good to clarify in advance.
You’ll also find physiotherapy, osteopathy, mental health services, and dental care widely available, often under the same roof. In tourist-heavy areas like Benidorm, Calpe, and Torrevieja, many doctors are used to international patients and offer flexible scheduling.
