Yes, we offer medical services to obtain driving license certificates.

In the specific case of people over 70 years of age, it is important to carry out the necessary tests beforehand.

5. Do we have an ambulance and what are the important considerations?

At the Coronado Clinic, ambulances are an external service that we have, and we have a network of contacts in case their use is necessary. Our team provides support in the proper coordination of this service. However, it is important to keep in mind that the cost of the ambulance must be paid directly to the service, and in many cases payment in cash is required.
It is essential that, if an ambulance transfer is required, the patient has a companion and provides their personal information.
In situations where the patient is unconscious and has no companion, our medical staff will always provide first aid with the aim of stabilizing the patient. Health is our priority. In these cases, the patient's identification will be sought. Therefore, we recommend having written information available with emergency contact information, which will make it easier to determine the most appropriate destination for the transfer and avoid sending the patient to a public institution.

6. Why is a companion important when riding in an ambulance?

If the patient cannot communicate clearly with the ambulance personnel due to their health condition, the companion or responsible family member can serve as communication support. This companion can provide crucial information about the patient's medical history, symptoms, and any other relevant details about the patient's health or condition to healthcare personnel or the facilities to which they will be transferred.

7. Do we have a general doctor?

Yes, we have a general practitioner available Monday to Saturday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm

8. Can appointments be scheduled for different services?

Regarding appointments with specialist doctors, we offer two modalities:
• Limited space reservations: For some specialists, we reserve a specific number of appointments that are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
