BILBAO, Spain, October 2026 – Dr. Pedro Yelamo Vera, a general practitioner licensed in Spain, has extended his online medical practice to seven days a week, with video consultations now available daily from 7:30 to 20:30. The expansion responds to growing demand from English-speaking expats, retirees, digital nomads and tourists who need timely medical guidance in their own language. More information is available at drpedroyelamo.com.
Spain is home to hundreds of thousands of English-speaking residents and welcomes tens of millions of international visitors each year. For many of them, navigating an unfamiliar healthcare system in a second language remains a real obstacle, whether it is explaining symptoms, understanding a diagnosis or replacing a prescription while away from home.
A single, named doctor, fully online
Unlike large telehealth platforms that rotate patients between clinicians, the practice is built around one named physician. Every consultation, report, prescription and follow-up is handled by Dr. Yelamo Vera himself, which allows continuity of care and removes the need for patients to repeat their history each time they book.
Consultations take place by secure, encrypted video call from a phone, tablet or computer anywhere in Spain, including Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Málaga, Marbella and the Canary and Balearic Islands. The practice is GDPR compliant and certified by LegitScript, an independent verification service for healthcare providers.
What patients can access
Urgent, non-emergency care for common conditions
Private electronic prescriptions under Spanish law, with QR verification, when clinically indicated after assessment
Travel medicine and general health consultations
Medical certificates for study, work, travel and certain Spanish visas, issued only when an assessment supports them
Medically guided weight and metabolic health consultations
Pricing is published in advance, with no subscription or membership fees. Patients pay per consultation and receive a medical report and an itemised invoice that they can submit to private or travel insurers.
Bilingual care as a safety issue
"Being properly understood is part of good medicine," said Dr. Yelamo Vera. "When patients can describe their symptoms in their own language and leave with a clear plan, care is safer and far less stressful. Telemedicine lets me offer that to people across Spain, at a time that suits them."
Dr. Yelamo Vera holds a degree in medicine and has worked as a resident physician, occupational health doctor and medical director. He consults at native level in both Spanish and English and has delivered more than 3,300 online consultations.
The practice treats urgent but non-emergency needs only. In a medical emergency in Spain, patients should call 112 or attend the nearest emergency department.
