Customer Reviews
Based on 5 reviews
"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"
"I first visited IMO in 2014, and until this year I still visit yearly for checkup without any hesitation, I trust them, They care about patients, not just profits. don’t think twice to visit"
"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."
"An incredible experience with an incredible surgeon. I had an eyelid that had drooped because of Lyme disease and had a previous surgery and consultations at many medical facilities in Barcelona. I decided on Grupo Miranza because of their extensive positive reviews and expertise/state-of-the-art approach. From the moment I got there the entire staff took their time to explain every aspect of the process and what I could expect. They were kind, clear, and explained things to me in both Spanish and, if I didn't understand, in English. The surgeon, Dr. Miguel Gonzalez-Candial, was exceptional both in terms of how he treated me as a patient and the results of my surgery. Not only did he lift my eyelid to match the height of my other eyelid, he reshaped it so they now look alike. This is the first time in years my eyes look the same, and I can read and see normally again."
