Where to Get an MRI in Gran Canaria

Need an MRI in Gran Canaria? You’re not alone. Whether it’s a doctor-recommended scan or you’re just trying to rule out that mysterious shoulder pain that’s been hanging around since your last surf lesson, here’s the lowdown from people who’ve actually been there, scanned that.

🏥 HPS Hospitales: Reliable and Professional (with a Side of English)

Angela had her MRI done at HPS Perpetuo Socorro and reported a smooth experience — with a few handy tips for navigating the system if your Spanish is still a work in progress.

🩺 You will need a prescription from a doctor. Angela got hers directly from a doc at HPS, which made things much easier.

💬 The nurses and MRI technicians spoke some English, which made everything a bit less nerve-racking.

📅 You can book appointments online (huge bonus if you’re not up for phone calls in Spanish). Head to hpshospitales.com, switch the site to English, choose your speciality, and click on Cita Previa.

💳 Angela used Cigna insurance through her employer, so she didn’t deal with payment directly — but if you’re paying out of pocket, you might want to check prices first.

💸 Resonancia Abierta Gran Canaria: Budget-Friendly Option

If you’re paying privately and want to save a few euros, Paul recommends Resonancia Abierta Gran Canaria — a more affordable alternative that still gets the job done.

He didn’t go into detail, but his review was short and sweet: “Much cheaper than HPS.” Sometimes that’s all you need to know.

🧭 Final Scan

Whether you go for the well-known HPS or the cheaper Resonancia Abierta, getting an MRI in Gran Canaria is totally doable — even if your Spanish isn’t perfecto. Just make sure you’ve got a prescription, bring your ID and insurance info, and double-check your appointment time.

And if you’ve got your own experience or a hidden gem of a clinic to recommend, drop us a line. We’ll keep this post updated faster than an MRI spits out scan results.

  • A least half of the appeal of Las Palmas for remote workers and digital nomads is rooted in this community. It’s the best I’ve seen so far in terms of how well it is organised, structured and nurtured. It offers excellent opportunities to meet new people and explore the island.
