Frequently asked questions

How do I request an appointment with my family doctor in Vigo?
In Vigo, you can manage your medical appointments through SERGAS — Servizo Galego de Saúde. You can make a request online via their website at https://www.sergas.es/A-nosa-organizacion/Cita-medica, call 900 400 116 or go to the reception desk of your health center. You can also use the Sergas Móbil app (iOS and Android).
What is the difference between a family doctor and emergency services?
A family doctor (or general practitioner) is your regular physician for non-urgent consultations, chronic condition follow-ups, and specialist referrals. Emergency services are for situations that require immediate attention (severe pain, high fever, accident). Using emergency services for non-urgent issues can overwhelm the system.
Can I request an appointment in Galician with SERGAS?
Yes. SERGAS offers full service in both Galician and Spanish at its health centers as well as on its digital channels. The Sergas Móbil 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 usual waiting time is 1 to 3 business days depending on demand in your area. If it is an urgent but not severe matter, you can request it as 'urgent' during the appointment booking.
