“I am privileged enough to work in what I love, even more in Barcelona, my hometown. Being able to combine private practice with reconstructive surgery at the Hospital Universitari of Bellvitge brings me everything I could ask for in this profession.

I enjoy the challenge of a surgical procedure and helping people change their lives and overcome their insecurities and fears. In short, we help patients to achieve their best, naturally and in harmony with the rest of the body.

Personal up-close attention along with rigorous, professional, and dedicated service inside and outside the operating room is what differentiate us from the others.”
