I can recommend, BookiMed 100% who helped navigate the process
I had a very positive experience throughout my whole journey to get surgery in BCN. I was led to Dr. Conesa who was professional, attentive, caring, and . I felt completely confident in his skills and ability. He made himself available to speak to me at anytime before and after surgery, which was so appreciated. The hospital care was exemplary, it was impressive how quickly I moved through the preoperative visits, blood work, X-rays, anesthesia visit etc. Post op care was great. I had a very positive experience all the way through. I can recommend, BookiMed 100% who helped navigate the process .

The doctor explained to me in a very detailed and clear way what to do and how to solve my problem
I am delighted with the interpreter provided by the clinic. There were no problems in communicating with the doctor. The consultation about the surgery lasted about half an hour and the doctor explained to me in a very detailed and clear way what to do and how to solve my problem.
About Bookimed service
As soon as I registered on Bookined, I was immediately contacted by the consultants, they immediately sent me links to clinics in the countries I was interested in (I chose 3 countries). And then they organised consultations with the doctors of these clinics. And all of this quickly, clearly and without much effort on my part... Now I have a choice and I think I will make a decision soon.

"I highly recommend him to anyone considering a rhinoplasty procedure
I am so grateful to Dr. Paloma for his fantastic work on my rhinoplasty procedure. He was professional, compassionate, and thorough from the initial consultation to the post-operative care. I had always been self-conscious about my nose, and Dr. Paloma helped me feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin. The results of the surgery were precisely what I wanted, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thank you, Dr. Paloma, for your excellent skills and dedication to your patients. I highly recommend him to anyone considering a rhinoplasty procedure.

It was perfect
It was perfect, except that I was hoping to leave with the vaccination that the doctor couldn't prescribe, explaining that there was new legislation and also that I must be in an infectious period.
