Customer Reviews
Based on 5 reviews
"I can’t speak highly enough of the wonderful treatment I received at the Barraquer Centre and especially Dr Abengoechea who operated on my eye twice with such care. The post operative care was also excellent and both the doctor and his secretary were very attentive and informative."
"In general great attention and customer service, except for the 2nd floor reception on Feb 6th. The lady there clearly doesn't wan't to be there or help anyone. Her bad attitude, and disgusted manners are a terrible example of how to treat patients. If she had been my first contact O would've turn around and left without any procedure done. Incredible contrast with everyone else, as all other personnel are clearly helpful and nice."
"Having been in Ophthalmology for 40 years. I can say I had a great experience. Check in was easy. I was called back by a technician in minutes. Testing was quick and painless. The Doctor was thorough and efficient. Very happy with the service."
"I visited them today and received the care I should have. I trust this institution for its humanity first, and based on my personal experience with them. I received some advice from the doctor I met today, which I will follow, and I have full confidence that this institution is humane at its core."
"Had a checkup and control yesterday. Very professional team whom are extremely efficient. Minimal waiting times and had 5 different steps at different parts of the building. By the time I left one they were waiting for me at the next. It gives the impression of running like a well oiled machine. A beautiful building as well. Gracias 🙏"
