Medical Translations and Accompanying to Doctor’s Appointments

Anyone who wants to benefit from the high quality of German medicine but does not speak German depends on the support of translators and interpreters. Medical translation is a complex and particularly sensitive task. Translators need medical expertise and extensive experience to translate medical content accurately; at the same time, accompanying patients to doctor’s appointments can involve a wide range of tasks, from organisational assistance to emotional support. Are you looking for professional specialist translators for your medical documents, or do you need competent accompaniment to doctor’s appointments in Russian, German or another language? Then you’ve come to the right place.

Professional Medical Specialist Translations

For epicrises, medical certificates, examination results and other medical texts, the requirements for reliability and accuracy of translation are particularly high. The medical content must be understandable both for patients and for the treating physicians. Differences between the respective health systems, including medication names and diagnoses, must also be taken into account. As experts in medical translations, we have many years of experience and have specialist physicians in our team who will competently translate your medical documents.

Certified Medical Translations

If you wish to submit a medical translation to an authority, it must be certified. If the authority is abroad, you may also need a pre-certification and apostille for your original document. We are happy to advise you on the correct form of medical documents and legalisations. We will also inform you where you can obtain a pre-certification and apostille. If you do not have the time or resources for this yourself, we are happy to take care of all the formalities and prepare a valid certified medical translation.

How quickly are medical texts translated?

Translation deadlines for medical texts vary greatly depending on the scope and complexity of the source text. Simple certificates and findings of up to one page can be translated for you in 1 to 2 working days. If you have several pages and different findings but only need the most important data from them, we will prepare a summary in the target language within a few days. Even for larger medical orders, we endeavour to complete the translation in a timely manner.

What can I expect from accompanying a doctor’s appointment?

When interpreting in hospital and at doctor’s appointments, we ensure that communication runs smoothly and that no information or important documents are lost. We place great importance on the accurate and correct translation of technical terms and all other content. We also take care of the organisational communication with the practice or clinic staff, clarify all the details for you and are at your side throughout the entire doctor’s appointment.
