English- and German-Speaking Doctor in Marbella: A Guide for Residents and Visitors

Are there English- and German-speaking doctors in Marbella?

Yes. In Marbella you can find an English- and German-speaking doctor without leaving the city center. German Clinic Marbella (IMED German Clinic) treats patients in Spanish, English, German and other languages, works with reimbursement-based and international health insurance, and brings 16 specialties together in one clinic.

It is open Monday to Friday, 8:30 am to 6:00 pm, at C/ Jacinto Benavente, 10. You can book by phone, WhatsApp, email or web form.

Marbella is a cosmopolitan city: every year, thousands of residents and visitors from other countries need medical care. And in medicine, language matters: describing a symptom properly, understanding a diagnosis or consenting to a treatment all require being understood without doubt.

At German Clinic Marbella, the team sees patients in Spanish, English, German, Greek, Norwegian, Italian, Hungarian and Russian, among other languages. The directors, Dr. Ignatios Chatziandreou and Dr. Rocío Estella, trained in Germany and have international experience. Dr. Estella, a pediatrician, consults in Spanish, German, English and Greek.

If you prefer a particular language, say so when you book so the clinic can match you with the right professional.

Will my health insurance work at a private clinic in Marbella?

German Clinic Marbella works with reimbursement-based insurance and with international insurance. These are the differences worth knowing:

• Reimbursement insurance: you pay for the consultation and send the invoice to your insurer, which refunds the amount according to your policy terms. You choose your doctor freely.
• International or expat insurance: usually works in a similar way. Check with your insurer what your policy covers and whether tests or procedures need prior authorization.
• Network-based insurance (“cuadro médico”): limits care to a network of providers. If your policy is of this type, check with your insurer first whether the clinic is included.
• European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or UK GHIC: covers public healthcare only. It cannot be used to pay for a private clinic; if you have travel insurance, check whether it reimburses these costs.

If you have questions about your specific policy, write to us with your insurance details and we will confirm how it works in your case.
