Receiving recognition from Merco Salud<\/strong> as one of the five physicians with the best reputation in the field of Urology in Spain in 2025<\/strong> is something I sincerely appreciate and accept with a strong sense of responsibility. Rankings in medicine are never simple, especially in a specialty with the level of excellence and demand that characterises Spanish urology<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

One of the aspects that gives this distinction particular meaning is its origin: the Health Reputation Monitor (MRS)<\/strong> is based on the opinions of healthcare professionals, which makes this recognition a reflection of the judgement of those who understand first-hand the complexity of our specialty. Being recognised by fellow specialists adds a particularly valuable dimension to this distinction.<\/p>\n

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to train, grow, and work alongside leading figures in urology, both in Spain and internationally. Spanish urology is today a cutting-edge field, with an outstanding scientific and clinical standard, and being able to contribute to this environment is, for me, a true privilege.<\/p>\n

Beyond the personal level, I understand this recognition as the result of collective work<\/strong>. Medicine is not practised in isolation, and modern urology is a clear example of this. None of this would be possible without the people who have accompanied me along the way, nor without the team I am fortunate to work with every day at ROC Clinic<\/strong><\/a> and HM Hospitales<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

My objective remains the same as when I first began: to offer every patient high-quality care, grounded in scientific evidence, clinical experience, technological innovation, and a human-centred approach to medicine.<\/p>\n

Continuing to train, research, teach, and improve clinical practice is what gives meaning to my daily work. This Merco Salud 2025<\/strong> recognition is not an end point, but rather an incentive to keep moving forward with the same commitment and enthusiasm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
