They do not respect visiting hours and times.
Very bad organization, and little seriousness, after waiting almost an hour, and late, some gentlemen arrive who are late and show up an hour later than their time, and they make them go in first than us who have been waiting for an hour
All patients also have work and time is valuable for everyone.
Visiting hours must be respected

Totally recommendable. Excellent treatment. I came in unable to walk with crutches due to tenosynovitis in my ankle and big toe which had prevented me from living a normal life for almost two months. And after some injections I left walking and without crutches. A great professional.

It was incredible, just by explaining the symptoms, he gave the diagnosis without seeing the MRI, exceptional treatment, an excellent professional, more than a year going around in social security, with several hospital admissions and they couldn't find the diagnosis, everything was lower back pain, well no!!!, acute sacroiliitis, incredible pain, I ended up almost unable to move, I saw myself in a wheelchair, thanks to him, I have a diagnosis and treatment.

As someone who values quality medical care, I am pleased to share my positive experience with Dr. Francisco Castro and his team at Clínica Médica de Excelencia.
Dr. Castro demonstrated deep knowledge in his field and an exceptional ability to communicate clearly and understandably. What impressed me most was his patient-centered approach. Not only did he care about addressing my immediate health issues, but he also showed a genuine interest in my long-term well-being. He proposed a personalized treatment plan that took into account my individual needs and preferences, making me feel valued as a patient.

I don't know if he's a good doctor, but my experience is disgraceful.
A complete lack of respect for the customer; it seems they care more about money than patients.
First visit, no less than €120, a 40-minute wait in a crowded hallway.
Second visit, €80, an hour wait, standing at times, with a lumbar hernia in a hallway. It's comparable to social security, but paying like hotcakes.
If you question the delay, the "friendly" receptionist responds, "You know what you're doing."
I find this to be a complete lack of education and respect for people who have to stop working (self-employed) to go to the doctor, elderly people in pain who have to wait in the hallways of a private clinic, paying a fortune.
