Quality & confidentiality
Health information is some of the most sensitive personal data there is, and imprecise clinical language can have real consequences for a patient's care. We name this explicitly rather than folding it into generic "confidentiality" language: medical documents are seen only by the translator and reviewer assigned to your job, dosage and measurement figures get a dedicated check (not just a language check), and health data is processed only for the purpose of delivering your translation — never retained or reused beyond that. See our Privacy Policy for the full statement.
Why clinical terminology can't be approximate
A generalist translation of a medical record can read fluently and still be wrong in a way that matters: a dosage unit translated loosely, a specialty-specific term rendered with its everyday-language cousin instead of its clinical equivalent, or a lab value's reference range left ambiguous. None of these show up as a "translation error" to someone who doesn't read the source — they show up as a wrong number a clinician acts on.
That's why medical work here is handled by a linguist working in the relevant clinical register, with a second pass specifically checking terminology and figures — not just fluency. We can't verify a competitor's medical-translator credentials for you, and we won't claim a badge we don't hold ourselves; what we can commit to, and what you can hold us to, is that this two-step method runs on every medical job, and that sensitive health data is handled under the practice described above, not just promised.

FAQ
Questions about this service
Do you handle sensitive health data securely?
Yes — access to your document is limited to the translator and reviewer assigned to your job, and health data is processed only to deliver and invoice your translation. See our Privacy Policy for the complete data-handling statement.
Does my medical translation need to be sworn?
Usually not, unless it's being submitted as evidence in a legal proceeding or a specific institution asks for "traducción jurada" by name — most insurers, clinics and receiving doctors accept this standard medical translation. If in doubt, tell us the destination and we'll confirm.
Can you translate handwritten clinical notes?
Often, yes, if the handwriting is legible in your scan or photo — send it and we'll confirm before you order. Illegible sections are flagged rather than guessed at.
