From Barcelona Spine Center to Instituto Clavel

Instituto Clavel was created in 2011 by Dr. Pablo Clavel and Dr. Ignasi Català, as a specialized center in the Hospital Quirón Salud in Barcelona. With our international patients in mind, we chose the name Barcelona Spine Center so they could easily identify our geographical location.

Since that time, Instituto Clavel has grown exponentially, and in 2020 we inaugurated a new center in Madrid and began collaborating with clinics in Rome, Italy (Ars Medica and Ars Biomedica).

In keeping with this growth and expanded geographical presence, we have decided to designate Instituto Clavel as the single unifying name for both our national and international activity, ceasing to use the name Barcelona Spine Center.

Our patient Preparation, Empowerment, and Recovery program (PER)

At the Instituto Clavel we have a patient Preparation, Empowerment and Recovery program that forms part of all stages of treatment. What is the goal of this program? For the patient to feel accompanied by our professionals at all times and that factors that may cause stress before surgery are reduced. To achieve this we have established protocols:

Informational sessions

Before treatment, with doctors and nurses to answer your questions.

Accompaniment of the patient

From the time they arrive at the hospital until they are discharged, and followed with the information they need to help their recovery at home.

Waiting

Reduced waiting time before surgery.

Tests and preoperative meeting with the surgeon

One day before surgery.

Daily visits

While the patient is in the hospital.

Follow-up appointment

7-10 days after the surgery.

Supporting documentation

If your surgery is covered by an insurance company.

Medication

Gradual withdrawal of pain medication.

Rehabilitation

With the professionals at IC Rehabilitation.
GO TO IC REHABILITATION

Effective communication

With the patient after they have left the center.

Continued follow-up with our medical team

To monitor your pain management and level of satisfaction.

To facilitate all phases of this program, we have various channels of communication available to you: Telephone, WhatsApp, email and fax. In addition, since in the case of international patients, most of them cannot come to the center in person before coming for the operation, we offer a FREE virtual assessment with the possibility of scheduling a videoconference by Skype with the doctor afterwards.
