Take your time and read this page carefully. It will give you information about how we work. If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them.

1. Fill in the questionnaire

Fill out the questionnaire or you can also contact us by email: use our contact form. Once we receive this form, our patient coordinator will write or call you back very soon. We can then begin the process of designing the best treatment option for your procedure.

If you have any questions or need more information just tell us and we will be happy to help you in any way we can. Once you have decided to continue, we will help you with each step of the way. For almost all medical procedures, your specialist will need to know your medical history, see relevant medical records and a letter from your G.P. confirming that you are fit for treatment.

Any other tests you may need, such as ECG, blood tests and scans will be discussed at your first consultation and will vary depending on the type of medical procedure and medical specialty you would like us to perform.

2. First Consultation

In your first consultation, you will meet with the specialist you have chosen, have an exam, and be able to analyze the procedure you are interested in and the results you expect to achieve.

All of our medical specialists have a lot of experience in their field. They will be able to give you an honest opinion about the treatment options that are available to you. They will also discuss postoperative care.

Su especialista le explicará durante cuánto tiempo necesitará permanecer en el hospital y cuándo podrá viajar a su casa. Si es posible, tratamos de organizar su consulta con suficiente antelación para que tenga tiempo suficiente para pensar en la opción y hablar con sus amigos y familiares y, si es necesario, realizar otra consulta.

3. Medical questionnaires, GP letters

You will complete a medical questionnaire with your doctor. It will give us all the information we need to know about your health and lifestyle in general, sometimes it is necessary to discontinue some medications before treatment and make some lifestyle changes.

Your doctor may also recommend medications to take before receiving your treatment in order that any underlying medical condition, such as anemia, may be corrected.

Don't forget to bring copies of medical records and comments from your general practitioner or any other medical specialist.

You will be given consent forms for the operation or medical treatment.

You will have time to study them and you will have to return them signed before your treatment.

4. Preoperative Tests

You will need all your preoperative tests before the operation: newer blood results (no more than 2-3 weeks), chest x-ray (with description), ECG (also with description) and breast ultrasound (only in the case of breast surgery) we recommend that you bring any recent tests you had with you to your first visit.

In the case of any major pathology that requires further investigation or treatment, this may delay the date of the operation until the problem has been resolved. Keep in mind that all preoperative testing is done for your safety and it is important to be honest about any pre-existing conditions. If you do not do so, your surgery may be cancelled, which may result in costs that you will have to cover.

5. The operatation time

Once you have made the decision to continue with your treatment or surgery we can give you a date for your operation, you will be asked to pay a small deposit to guarantee the reservation.

When you leave the hospital, your doctor will give you instructions for the postoperative period. You may need to take medications and take care of the surgical site with compression garments or a special bra, and your activity may need to be limited initially.
