I first came across this clinic in February 2025 where I had some insoles made. They were very reasonable. I visited them twice and I had an x-ray and then the insoles were created.
I saw my traumatologist at San Juan Hospital in January 2025 and he suggested that I needed to have an adjustment to the insoles. On the 22nd of January 2025 I booked an appointment and went to them and they made the adjustment. I asked them also to check the Doppler pulses in my feet, which was satisfactory. They were very kind, especially the doctor. I went to pay and I was told it was completely free for me as I was one of their patients. This is amazing because I felt that they went on and beyond what I was expecting. I give a five star recommendation.
They speak English, which was very helpful to me as I don’t speak Spanish. They also speak French.

Me operé de los dos pies, teniendo lo que se llama vulgarmente juanetes y un dedo largo en garra. Me vio el Doctor Israel San Román y me aconsejó operar ambos pies a la vez. Como confíe en él desde el primer momento y su padre y él son para mí Ronaldo y Messi en la Podología no lo dudé.
El post operatorio fue perfecto, salí andando y el resultado aún mejor.
Agradecer a todo el personal y equipo de la clínica que fueron muy simpáticos y amables en el proceso. Estaré siempre agradecida de haber confiado en vosotros.
Response from the owner:¡Estimada Merete! Muchísimas gracias por compartir tu experiencia con nosotros. Nos ha sacado una gran sonrisa tu comparación del Dr. Israel y su padre con Messi y Ronaldo; para ellos es el mejor de los elogios venir de una paciente que ha confiado algo tan importante como su salud y movilidad en sus manos.

Nos hace muy felices saber que el postoperatorio de ambos pies fue perfecto y que pudiste salir caminando desde el primer momento, ya que ese es nuestro principal objetivo. Transmitiremos tu agradecimiento a todo el equipo, quienes se esfuerzan cada día por ofrecer ese trato amable que mencionas.

¡Gracias por recomendarnos y por tu confianza en la Clínica San Román! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
