Medcare was founded in 2005 when UK registered GP Dr Najma Hussain took over an existing medical practice in Alfaz del Pi and set up a comprehensive general practice surgery that met with British guidelines and standards.

The need for the service was clear as, although Spain has an excellent health service, many British residents are uncomfortable dealing with medical matters in a foreign language and prefer a British GP or dentist – and for some this meant their health was neglected.

While there were some medical practices offering medical care in English, most of these were run by specialist doctors rather than general practitioners, and so were not able to offer the comprehensive primary care services that are so vital to the patient’s general health.

Medcare’s aim was to ensure that all British residents living in the Costa Blanca region of Spain had easy access to quality GP services in English, so that nobody had to miss out on essential health care or important preventative checks. To this end, Medcare’s first clinic in Alfaz del Pi offered its patients everything they could expect and were used to receiving from a UK GP practice. It was an immediate hit and, as demand grew, a second Medcare clinic was established in Benijofar, Rojales.

From the beginning Medcare wanted to ensure that the service it provided was accessible and affordable for everyone. This is still the guiding principle behind Medcare today.

While at the heart of Medcare there still remains a comprehensive and affordable GP service, Medcare has developed far beyond the reaches of a traditional UK GP practice.

The Medcare group now encompasses general medical and surgical, dental and cosmetic treatments and surgery.

A complementary range of services is also offered, including psychology, osteopathy, physiotherapy, therapeutic massage, audiology and chiropody.

Thousands of Medcare patients have now come to trust the Medcare brand for all their healthcare needs.

Medcare Cosmetics

As the practice developed, the principle of feeling AND looking good grew, and Medcare started to offer surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatments.

Today, it is a leader not just in health but in cosmetic treatments on the Costa Blanca.

Medcare works with a top cosmetic surgeon and offers all cosmetic surgery procedures. Free consultations and relaxed, no-pressure advice are key to our service, ensuring patients get all the information they require to make informed decisions about which treatments are right for them.

Our skin rejuvenation clinic began with Botox and dermal fillers, but now boasts a wide range of advanced non-surgical anti-ageing treatments.

Our skin care experts can give individual advice on firming, lifting, resurfacing, plumping and anti-ageing treatments. See our cosmetic pages for more details.

Dental at Medcare

Realising there was a need for British dental services for ex-pats in Spain, Medcare opened its dental clinic in 2010. Using experienced British and Spanish dentists, the dental clinic soon built up a loyal following among all nationalities.

We now offer all restorative and cosmetic dentistry, including implant surgery. See our dental pages for more details.
