Humble Beginnings
In 1990 the apartment in Edificio El Trebol became Crichton Clinic, which started as a solo practice with paper records and not a mobile phone
in sight.


To Purpose-Built Clinic
In 2012 the plot on Calle El Califa was acquired and a new purpose-built clinic was constructed to cope with the expanding practice.
Today, the renamed Atlantic Clinic has over 30,000 patients on file, and 25 different health professionals consulting with nationalities that include British, Swedish, Finnish, French, Belgian, Spanish, Mexican and Portuguese.

From the moment I walked I was made to feel at ease. The clinic is relaxed, pristine, welcoming. The attention to detail was second to none. I was distraught after a bad fall but I would highly recommend the friendliness & efficiency from the reception staff to the doctors.
