Orthopaedics Clinics & Doctors in Spain

I dislocated my shoulder and two tendons were severed. Unfortunately I received bad advice from social services doctor when I was told that rehab would not be necessary! When I realised I was not able to lift the arm at all, I paid for an MRI which showed the damage. At Sta. Elena I was operated on the day after I presented, The main tendon was attached by harpoons into the shoulder, it was not possible to repair the lesser tendon. Now in rehab I am making very good progress, partly due to my hard work and of course the skill of my surgeon, Dr Javier Seara.I would recommend this clinic to anyone. For me personally, it was a lot of money, but I had no alternative. I have now taken out private health insurance! I chose St. Elena Clinic because of a friend's recommendation. My treatment in the clinic was excellent. Incredibly efficient. I would only say that there was rather a lack of compassion, or call it bedside manner from the nursing staff. I think this is quite common in Spain though. read more
