Barbara04/04/2024Due to an emergency from my daughter, my niece gave us the address of the clinic (since we are from Alcoy). The attention of the girls at the reception was great and Dr. M José Sánchez was very professional, kind and attentive. We definitely recommend the clinic.
Patricia Izquierdo Pérez27/03/2024I had been wanting to have surgery on my chest for many years, since it seemed too big and sagging. So I looked for clinics that performed breast reductions, and one of the first results was the Belaneve clinic. I made an appointment with Dr. Jorge García Juarranz, who explained everything to me in great detail and professionalism. The truth is that he gave me so much confidence that I did not hesitate to have surgery with him. The treatment included a nutrition session with Dr. Laura. Between the two of us we created a weekly diet for the days before and after the operation. Also several pressotherapy sessions, as well as two laser sessions for scars. It hasn't even been two months since I had the operation, and I am already delighted with the result. If I had to choose again, I would not hesitate to put myself in Jorge's hands again. I have to thank the entire team for how kind and understanding they were, as I had to postpone the operation for health reasons; Jorge, Miriam, Sergio, and other professionals who were in the operating room. As well as the staff who are in the clinic, making special mention of María José. Who from the first moment gave me all the information about the steps to follow, providing a lot of peace of mind, trust and closeness. Without a doubt an exceptional person. I recommend to everyone who is considering having a breast reduction do it with them!
Laura Monterde27/03/2024I have nothing but praise to give to Dr Aguado and the team. Not only did he take his time explaining his thoughts and diagnosis about my condition in detail, but he told me things that a dozen other professionals I've seen over the course of my life never thought about telling me! I am very grateful for visiting this clinic, we actually flew in just for the visit. They made sure to call to confirm the appointment before we arrived. Dr Aguado made me feel reassured and at no moment did I feel like I was simply a customer (€), rather, I was treated with respect and honesty. I will update my review in a year or two after starting this new plan. But for now I am more than happy with the service.
Joshua Weller23/03/2024I went to try the Belaneve clinic on the recommendation of a friend. They got me right in both the diagnosis and the treatment thanks to Dr. Encabo. My problem was dermatological. 100% recommendation
Tatiana Martinez22/03/2024I would like to congratulate Dr. Liset Sarda for her professionalism, attention and complicity towards me. She went to remove a wart on my neck (she had had a painful experience at another center) and the doctor gave me anesthesia and I didn't know anything. She explained to me at all times what she was doing to me and it was worth taking her off. From here I want to reiterate my congratulations to Dr. Liset for being so professional and patient with me. The treatment of the rest of the staff was also excellent and empathetic. Thank you
48 springs16/03/2024It is the first time we go to the clinic. We went to have a dermatology consultation with Dr. Belén. The attention of the reception staff, M. José, was excellent, close and trustworthy. We also really liked Agueda's treatment and he was a pillar when it came to giving us treatment. The doctor is very close and very good advice even in the small details. To give a detail that can be improved, it is the physical space of the clinic reception. There are three people working non-stop at a small counter. We will be back!
ML13/03/2024It is the second time that I go to this BELANEVE Clinic for dermatology, this time for some warts very close to the eye, Doctor María Leiva, very professional, very close, immediately gave me confidence and peace of mind. The attention at reception is very good. Recommended clinic 💯
