High praise from a medical Spanish professional:
“This bilingual medical dictionary is the most comprehensive and extensive I have encountered in my 40 years of teaching and authoring Medical Spanish textbooks. It incorporates all the latest terms, and all possible translations for each term, as well as variations from country to country. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would enthusiastically give it an 11!”

Ratings and reviews

I am a medical interpreter and from time to time you find a challenging medical term to translate that you may not be familiar with. I have been searching for a while and found this app. I have been using and testing it with a few unusual terms for the last few hours and I am amazed and how excellent the rendering in Spanish are. Thank you for this! Keep up the great work!

This dictionary is amazing, both as an app and on paper. I have used the paper version for years and was so excited to find an app for it. It's fantastic!

This is a great tool for healthcare interpreters, really useful when you come across an unfamiliar medical term.
