For healthcare service providers searching for a medical sign language interpreter near me, 5 Star Interpreting provides fast, qualified, and affordable translation services for medical support. Our founders — one Deaf and one a nationally certified interpreter — built this agency with one goal in mind: communication access for all.
Consistent and clear communication is essential in the healthcare industry. Medical terminology can be confusing, even for hearing patients. For Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing patients, it becomes even more complex and the risk of miscommunication increases. Sign language is its own language with grammar, structure, cultural nuance, and medical translation challenges. Still, many healthcare systems fall short of servicing the needs of many — potentially leaving Deaf patients misunderstood, uninformed, or misdiagnosed.
Medical interpretation services are not optional — they are essential.
If you’re a healthcare center looking for a high-quality ASL interpreter to work with a patient or staff member, look no further than 5 Star Interpreting. Our staff uses firsthand experience as end users and consumers to coordinate and schedule professional interpreters who have thousands of hours of expert sign language interpretation training and medical sector experience to fit your unique and regulated needs.
Healthcare teams can request ASL interpreters for:
appointments and consultations
evaluations and procedures
discharge, follow-up, and testing
mental health sessions
surgery prep and post-op conversations
Though some professional ASL interpretation services can rack up an expensive bill, 5 Star Interpreting minimizes overhead costs in order to offer more affordable rates without sacrificing quality. Our company is owned and operated by a Deaf founder and a Nationally Certified Interpreter founder, meaning we understand communication from both sides — and are able to bridge the gap between Deaf consumers and hearing healthcare providers.
We eliminate concerns and inconsistencies in service by making sure all the sign language interpreters we coordinate adhere to the same high level of communication skill required for medical environments. You get reliable, consistent interpreting — not random assignments or unpredictable skill levels.
When you work with 5 Star Interpreting, you’re matched with a professional sign language interpreter who understands medical terminology and how to accurately apply it in clinical environments. We provide ongoing training to ensure the medical interpreters we coordinate stay current with healthcare practices, terminology advancements, regulatory requirements, and the evolving standards of care.
Our interpreters think quickly, can break down complex concepts clearly, and are skilled at supporting patients through sensitive or technical conversations. Appointment details are reviewed ahead of time, so every interaction feels prepared, accurate, and comfortable — resulting in a higher-quality experience for both the provider and patient.
