Customer Reviews
Based on 5 reviews
"I highly recommend IMO Barcelona for their exceptional service in pediatric cataract surgery. They did an amazing job with my 5-year-old's surgery, demonstrating both expertise and care. A special shoutout to Dr. Amro who was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Excellent choice for kids!"
"IMO in Madrid is without a doubt the BEST place for cataract surgery. Dr Elies is fantastic. Professional approach, knowledgeable, caring and superb surgeon. I am writing on my phone without glasses and less than 2 weeks since surgery. The IMO is beautiful and the entire staff is courteous, professional and so pleasant. I feel very fortunate to have had the IMO suggested to me by a friend. I will certainly be telling anybody who needs cataract surgery to consider the IMO Madrid"
"Great teachers, friendly staff and up to date techniques"
"I was having consultation with dr Guell. I did not like it. He was rushing somewhere, jumped from the chair after 5min and run away. The value is not proportionate to the money they asked (220Euro) for it. The doctor is not interested in spending time with the patients"
"IMO is the best for eyes treatment, three years im treatment kid with Dr. Charlotte she is awesome also my mum has visited Dr. Jiul he is brilliant. I only have one suggestion i hope the management will consider it is to keep a what's app number for international communications like to book appointments or to get reports as currently is a bit challenging to call for appointments or any queries."
