Bookimed Expert Insight: Data shows that doctors with international fellowships, like Dr. Antonio Ortega who trained in Spain and the USA, are most likely to provide fluent communication. Choosing a specialist who also serves as an international congress professor indicates a high level of professional English proficiency.
Patient Consensus: Patients recommend verifying a surgeon's English fluency directly before surgery to ensure clear communication during recovery. Some travelers noticed that while surgeons were fluent, nursing staff often only spoke basic Spanish, making bilingual coordinators helpful for discharge instructions.
