"Dr. Cavasin examined me with great professionalism and performed one of the most delicate and painless infiltrations of my life!!"

"Dr. Nicolas Garcia I had been waiting two months for my appointment. When the day finally arrived, I felt like I was bothering him. The doctor didn't even want to look at the tests I had brought because, for him, it was "a waste of time." He literally told me that some patients "would be in pain forever and ever." It was a day with a rain alert, and many patients canceled their appointments. I got the feeling that because my appointment was the last one of the day and I didn't cancel, the doctor was annoyed because he had to stay in the office. For me, it was a disaster in terms of his lack of tact and dedication to the patient, and his failure to make an effort to find out what was wrong with his patients."

"After suffering from lower back pain for almost a year, having seen several orthopedists and finding no solution, I was recommended to visit BSI. I met Dr. Godino. I have nothing but words of gratitude for him and his entire team. It's been three weeks since I underwent spinal surgery to place a prosthesis in the L5 region. The pain disappeared from the first day. I'm still in the recovery process, but I feel very well and am very happy with my progress. The treatment from the entire team has been excellent. A special thanks also to Maite Sanmarti, manager of BSI, for the personalized care and the passion with which she carries out her work."

"I've had two experiences at this center, and on both occasions, the wait was excessive. The first time I had to wait 1 hour and 15 minutes, and the second time, 1 hour and 20 minutes, despite arriving early in the morning when there was practically no one in the waiting room. I find this disrespectful to the patient, because if you book an appointment for a specific time, it's reasonable to accept a slight delay of a few minutes, but waiting more than an hour is unacceptable. This type of delay not only generates frustration but also affects the rest of the day, as it interferes with other appointments or previously scheduled commitments. At a medical center of this caliber, one expects better time management and greater consideration for patients."

"The best! I had a 9 hour spinal surgery. You have changed the quality of my life. Team of professionals. Dr. Pellisé is a magician. Thank you!"

"Our experience at the Barcelona Spine Institute was simply amazing to say the least. From Day1, we truly felt cared for. From setting up an appointment to consultations to the big surgery day and to post-operation, the process was very professional, organized and just beyond wonderful. Dr Pellise was very gracious to answer all our questions and explained everything in detail before the actual surgery. We did not feel rushed even if we had tons of questions and uncertainty. We appreciated how he began and directed his initial questions to my daughter and her well being. Dr. Pellise together with his team of doctors and staff, special mention to Maite, were very caring and sensitive to our needs pre-op, during and post-op. With surgeries one after another, they did not fail to visit and monitor my daughters condition. Its been a year now and we have been coming back periodically for monitoring and the care has not changed since we started. My husband and i could not be more happier to see our daughter thrive now painless, full of positivity and looking forward to her bright future ahead. Thank you to Dr. Pellise and his amazing team at the Barcelona Spine Institute. This exprience was life changing. More poeer to you."
