Your Surgery in Madrid, Step by Step
If you live in Madrid or elsewhere in Spain, we see you for consultations at Apodaca or at the Hospital Fuensanta outpatient clinic. Your surgery takes place at Hospital Fuensanta, and we stay with you for up to two years after the operation.
From First Consultation to Follow-Up
01
Your Request
You fill in the request form and immediately receive a confirmation email. Within 48 to 72 hours on average, a member of our medical team replies and suggests an appointment.
02
Your First Consultation
Your first consultation is free. It takes place at Apodaca (Monday and Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Friday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.), at the Hospital Fuensanta outpatient clinic (Thursday, 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.) or by video call. We explain the operation, its risks, how long you stay in hospital and the care you need after discharge. At the end of the consultation, you receive an all-inclusive quote.
03
Preoperative Tests
Your blood tests and other preoperative checks are done at Fuensanta, on a weekday morning, at least twenty-four hours before your operation.
04
The Day of Your Operation
You arrive at 7 a.m. on the day of your operation, having fasted since the night before. Dr. Jesús Lago comes to see you in your room, and he lets your family know when the operation is over.
05
One Night in the Hospital
Most operations involve one night in the hospital. Some procedures are done under local anesthesia, in which case you go home the same day. When you are discharged, you leave with your operation report, your next appointment and your prescriptions.
06
Follow-Up
We see you for checkups at Apodaca or at the Hospital Fuensanta outpatient clinic for up to two years, depending on the type of operation.
After You Go Home
After you leave hospital, we make sure everything is going well, and you can reach us by phone and on WhatsApp. If you have a question, some pain or a doubt, get in touch: if needed, we will see you for a consultation.
Ongoing follow-up
In person, by video call, by phone and on WhatsApp.
In an emergency
Go to the emergency department at Hospital Fuensanta, which is open day and night.
