English Doctors In TenerifeWhen I embarked on my quest to find English doctors in Tenerife, I thought there would be a whole host of them.How mistaken was I? Despite extensive research, I've only been able to come up with a small sample. As usual, if anyone knows of any that I've not been able to track down, please let me know, via "feedback".
Karen is the current English doctor with a surgery in Los Cristianos. Her predecessor was Dr Johnson and he was based in Cristian Sur. Karen took over and started there, but subsequently moved premises to larger ones found amongst the line of shops attached to the Arona Gran Hotel. This is situated right next door to the pharmacy, so, that's handy for prescriptions. I haven't had any dealings with Karen, but I had to visit Dr Johnson on a few occasions. You'll have to register with her and pay for any visits and treatment as you receive them. You can just show up and ask to see the doctor, but, as you'd expect, you'll have to wait. Just like anywhere else, it's better to phone for an appointment. Here's a brief sample of Dr Karen's prices:
I've discovered that there is also an osteopath in residence, too, called Lisa Harris.
This is a medical organisation offering healthcare to British (or English speaking) people in the south of Tenerife. There are three medical centres that you can go to:
Headed by Dr James Harris, these centres cater for residents and tourists alike. Consultations can be made by appointment or by just walking in.
Telephone: (+34) 922 716682 (both Adeje centres) It appears that the British Surgery website address now takes you to what seems to be a Japanese mail order site. Sorry to anyone who's had experience of this error.
On trawling the internet extensively for English doctors in Tenerife, here's one name I unearthed. I don't even know if this man is English (or British), but, with a name like that, it's pretty likely. All the information I have regarding his whereabouts is that he's based in Costa del Silencio. It's not that big a place to wander around to try and spot a doctor's surgery. The town actually has a health centre and he may be operating from there. Best just to phone and ask for the address, I suppose. contact details: Telephone 922 785204
I've also come across this company, based in the Fañabe Plaza Commercial Centre in Adeje. Although their staff may not actually be English, they all speak it. They have a nurse available Monday to Friday from 10am till 6pm and she can perform duties such as blood tests, dressings, injections and blood pressure. A doctor is available, by appointment only. His surgery is open every Friday, from 3pm. The man in question, Dr de la Flor, studied medicine in the USA and is likely to be fluent in English. contact details: Telephone: (+34) 922 719625
Situated in the El Camison urbanisation in Las Americas, this clinic is headed by Dr Adolfo Peraza Castro. Apparently he has worked for 2½ years in an English hospital and has a passable command of English. The centre provides emergency medicine and offers a 24-hour service, plus home visits. A consultation costs 75 euros. contact details: Telephone: (+34) 922 797688
A centre found on the Golf del Sur, its medical director is Dr Juan Miguel Costa Santos. It covers all manner of medical disciplines. contact details: Telephone: (+34) 922 737560
With premises in both Santa Cruz and Los Cristianos, this clinic is headed by Dr Jose Juan Bajaras de Prat and specialises in ear, nose and throat. A consultation costs between 75 and 105 euros. contact details: Telephone:
