As a former Spanish teacher, I would advise against using Google translate for a legal document.  You should look into a certified translator who is very familiar with medical terminology.

English to Spanish.  This is a legal document, as it is a medical consent
form (for medical care, release of medical records, liability of payment,
etc.).  Most of our patients have Medicare, so we need to adhere to federal
guidelines."

Would a tool such as Google Translate not suffice, or do you need some
(more) certified method?
