NEUROSURGEON SPECIALIZED IN SPINAL SURGERY.

Dr. Matías Mondragón

I studied medicine in Argentina and subsequently completed my training as a neurosurgeon. Since 2018, I have specialized in pathologies of the spine, specifically in traumatic, infectious, tumoral, and degenerative pathology.

Joining Instituto Clavel has allowed me to broaden my experience in surgical options, especially minimally invasive and endoscopic surgical procedures, increasing the range of treatment possibilities for patients. My goal with every patient is to find the best therapeutic solution for their problem.
