Frequently asked questions

How do I request an appointment with my family doctor in A Coruña?
In A Coruña, you manage your primary care appointments through SERGAS — Servizo Galego de Saúde. You can make the request online on https://www.sergas.es/A-nosa-organizacion/Cita-medica, by calling 900 400 116 or in person at the reception desk of your local health center. You can also use the Sergas Móvil app (iOS and Android).
What is the difference between a family doctor and emergency care?
A family doctor (or general practitioner) is your primary physician for non-urgent consultations, chronic condition follow-up, and specialist referrals. Emergency care is for situations that require immediate attention (sudden pain, high fever, new serious symptom). Using emergencies for non-urgent issues overwhelms the system.
Can I request an appointment in Galician with SERGAS?
Yes. The SERGAS offers full service in both Galician and Spanish, at its health centers as well as on its digital channels. The Sergas Móvil app and website are available in the two official languages of Galicia.
Can I request an appointment for a family member?
Yes. You can request appointments for family members (children, elderly dependents) through the same channels. You will need their health card number.
How long do I have to wait to see my family doctor?
For non-urgent cases, the typical waiting time is 1 to 3 business days depending on demand in your area. If it’s urgent but not severe enough for emergencies, you can request it as an “urgent” appointment.
