"Excellent clinic with excellent professionals. I had the wonderful experience of my father being operated on by Dr. Juan Scaglia, cardiologist and interventional cardiologist, and his team, Rodrigo Sparza and Julian Colla. They improved the quality of life of a 75-year-old man, and I will be forever grateful to them. They are professional and, most importantly, constantly explaining and attentive to everything. I also want to thank the ICU team, the nurses and physiotherapists, who were also key to his recovery."

"My deepest gratitude to the entire staff at Sagrada Familia. We went for a procedure with Dr. Iván Lylyk for an aneurysm embolization, and the result was excellent. We went in with the uncertainty that comes with the situation, which quickly dissipated thanks to the clear information and support we received. It was a truly outstanding experience, with a remarkable and calm medical team and impeccable overall service."

"The doctors and technicians are excellent. My experience at reception wasn't good; there's a woman with curly brown hair who has a very negative energy. She pretends she's going to fix their mistake in scheduling my cardiology appointment, but because of her lack of information, she doesn't resolve anything. She doesn't even know which tests PAMI authorizes; she should just quit. I had to go three times. Luckily, I'm retired and healthy. But she can't provide care with so much misinformation. The young man, however, is excellent."

"Excellent clinic, but I must confess I missed Jakeline, the nurse who cared for my husband 10 years ago after his cavernoma surgery, with dedication and love. She was very professional, and I can't say how supportive she was to me. This year my husband was admitted to the new stroke unit, and the nurses there weren't very friendly; you were afraid to ask anything. Everything else was excellent!"

"I think people are quicker to complain than to praise based on the reviews here. I have been to the clinic for various tests and then for Brain surgery. Tests were efficient and done on time. Surgery and my night there went very well and the care was all I could have hoped for. This is not a major public hospital but a specialty private clinic and they treat you accordingly. Highly recommended."
