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.
