Our medical team consists of 30 highly qualified ophthalmologists, divided into areas of different specializations, offering and guaranteeing our patients an individualized treatment according to the needs of each case.
Every year, more than 100,000 consultations are carried out, generating 9,000 surgical procedures and 5,000 laser treatments. These figures, without a doubt, place BARRAQUER among the largest ophthalmological clinics in the world.
