The professional experience that I have achieved working in both the public and the private sector has focused especially on the field of spine surgery, in particular, in minimally invasive surgery techniques which allow faster recovery and less post surgery complications.
Instituto Clavel promotes the development of professional activity in a framework of professional excellence and human quality that allows us to offer patients the most innovative surgical treatments with the objective of achieving outstanding results for each patient. My intention in joining Instituto Clavel is to contribute towards the objectives of the institution and to provide personalized and quality care to the neurosurgical patient.
