" Great Hospital with Great Patient Care "
My wife and I were on a 42 day Europe cruise when she fell and broke 3 bones in her ankle. We were taken off the cruise ship in Barcelona, Spain and taken via an ambulance to Centro Medico Teknon. My wife and I stayed in the medical facility for 3 days while they treated her. This medical center had all top notch facilities and the customer service, which made the USA look bad. We were met at the hospital by Maria Cararach who was the cruise ship's Medical Coordinator for the hospital. Maria was one of the most hard working, organized, efficient, coordinators, I have ever seen. Maria worked so many hours at the hospital interpreting, and handling all the cruise customers who needed medical help, answering questions between the hospital and patients. She even gave us her cell phone so we could call her late at night if we had a problem. This lady was Outstanding ! Everyone at the Medical Center respected and listened to her especially the Dr's. I don't know how, or what we would have done without her. If she came to the United States I would get her a huge paying job immediately. Thank You Maria. You are Awesome ! I was able to sleep in my wife's room in a made up bed by 2 ladies daily next to her. The constant nurses coming in all day and night applying medicine and other medical care was outstanding. Nurse Lolitie was so nice and made sure my wife's every need was taken care of. Orfidel administered my wife's pain medication, and came in so many times to make sure my wife was as comfortable as possible. Dr. Ignacio Muro one of the top surgeons in the hospital came in or called me a couple times a day to look at my wifes ankle and to explain going forward, what we had to look forward too. He was so nice and educational with his presentations and examinations before we headed back to the United States for Surgery on my wife's foot. The Centro Medico Teknon gets the highest grade of an A + , THANK YOU ! read more
