Clinica Rincon Nerja or Torre v Centro Medico Torrox Costa
Clinica Rincon Nerja or Torre v Centro Medico Torrox Costa
Just wanted to know if anyone here uses these services and if so can they recommend or otherwise. I have private healthcare (Prevision Medica) and just need to decide where to find a doctor so any help and recommendation would be appreciated – preferably English speaking as my Spanish isn't up to medical terminology.

We use Clinica Rincon.
Most of the doctors speak English.

Thanks Gerry... is that Torre or Nerja?
Re: Clinica Rincon Nerja or Torre v Centro Medico Torrox Cos
The Rincon de la Victoria one.
Larger, more facilities, easier to park near than the ones in Nerja or Torre del Mar.

Torrevdel Mar tends to have long queues. Nerva less so but parking can be an issue but that could be the same anywhere in the summer. Not tried Rincon.
I've got an inferiority complex, but it's not a very good one!

Rincon is more like a small hospital with loads of expensive equipment.

Thanks everyone... Campo Steve, when you say queues, can't you book an appointment to see a GP beforehand?

Re: Clinica Rincon Nerja or Torre v Centro Medico Torrox Cos
Yes, you can book an appointment but our experience is that you can still wait an hour at Torre del Mar. Nerja seems to be quicker. Clinica Rincon also have an online appointment system whereby you ask online for an appointment and they get back to you. To date they have never got back to us.
However, once you see the doctor the care is good.

Thanks ... Nerja it is, Rincon is maybe a bit too far for a doctor appointment.
Re: Clinica Rincon Nerja or Torre v Centro Medico Torrox Cos
I found the service at Nerja very good but had a mammogram and ultra sound there and had to have them both repeated at Torre del Mar hospital (for free the 2nd time) as both were inconclusive!! It may just be my bad luck though!
Re: Clinica Rincon Nerja or Torre v Centro Medico Torrox Cos
We too have insurance with Prevision Medica.
Hubby sees his GP at the Torre del Mar clinic several times a month and the Nurse for monthly blood tests. Excellent service all round. Maybe we have been very lucky but we have found the appointment service generally works well with him going in on time for around 75% of his appointments - we do find it best to book a pre-10.30 appointment.
I also see a Consultant at TDM and have regular scans and Mammograms - again excellent service.
Top class service too at the Rincon de la Victoria Clinica Rincon where Hubby sees 2 Consultants.
The only time we have been to the Nerja clinic was when I needed an urgent appointment and the Consultant was at Nerja that day - absolutely no complaints with the medical care but we found the reception / administrative staff far less helpful than at TDM.

Re: Clinica Rincon Nerja or Torre v Centro Medico Torrox Cos
Do the Clinica Rincon in Nerja do referrals from the National Health because I have received three calls from them to say I have an appointment there. I phoned them and they said it was a mistake and then they phoned again yesterday whilst I was out and also they seem to have my mobile number which is a bit weird because I have never used them! but I have needed treatment. So I wondered if the patients are referred there by the NS system!

Re: Clinica Rincon Nerja or Torre v Centro Medico Torrox Cos
You have clearly never tried parking near Clinica Rincon in Nerja. It is an absolute nightmare and nowhere near the sea.
Patricia, to answer your question, I use them a lot and I have never heard of the NHS using them for NHS patients.

OK they have phoned me three time so far! So I was getting a bit concerned, because sometimes I have been to a private clinic for in depth x-rays
Thanks for telling me that I was beginning to worry.

I think Costakid is referring to the one in Rincon de la Victoria!
There is parking if you go around the roundabout at supersol. I have never had a problem parking there in Nerja!

Re: Clinica Rincon Nerja or Torre v Centro Medico Torrox Cos
Yes, but you were asking about Nerja. You must be lucky with parking - it has always been a problem for me.
Personally I agree that the clinic at Rincon is the best.

Re: Clinica Rincon Nerja or Torre v Centro Medico Torrox Cos
I mean if you go left around the roundabout to the dirt car park at the roundabout where there is a supersol and also it is below Mercadona, you can get to it that way too. Piles of places there, you may have to go to the bottom bit - Mercadona area - but always plenty of space.
Parking in the road is a nightmare not worth bothering, mind you if I look hard I can usually find somewhere.

Re: Clinica Rincon Nerja or Torre v Centro Medico Torrox Cos
Yes, we have used that car park but it's quite a way to walk.
If the car park at El Puente is not chained off, that can be handy.
Sadly most of the car park you mention will disappear when they build the new health centre there (eventually!)
Torre de Mar is even worse. They are building another clinic in Almuñécar which will really good for us.
