Seeking Orthopedic Specialist in Santiago

Time of past OR future Camino

My partner took a really nasty fall while at the Cathedral in Santiago last night. Her ankle has obvious soft tissue injury. We would like to have it looked at by a specialist while here in Spain if possible.

We went to the public hospital here but they were obviously overwhelmed by patients who had more serious issues.

Any suggestions or recommendations on where to look for more specialized care would be appreciated.

Btw: We both completed the Camino Frances uninjured. Funny how trips end sometimes.
