Dr. Israel San Román Sirvent, who performed my surgery, is not only highly skilled but also deeply committed to doing his work with precision and care. You can truly feel that he wants to achieve the best possible result for each patient.
I also had the pleasure of meeting his father, Dr. José Manuel San Román Pérez, who seemed sincerely proud to see his long experience being passed on to his son — a beautiful legacy of medical excellence.
The entire team — assistants, nurses, and staff — were kind, attentive, and very professional. The procedure was almost painless, and recovery went smoothly from the very first days.
In fact, the doctor prescribed me paracetamol, but I barely needed to take it because I experienced no real pain.
It was a genuinely positive and reassuring experience from start to finish. I’m deeply grateful to Dr. Israel, Dr. José Manuel, and the whole team for their care, professionalism, and human warmth.
It was a pleasure to accompany you throughout your hammer toe correction surgery and recovery process here at Clínica San Román. Knowing that everything went smoothly, that the procedure was practically painless, and that you barely needed any paracetamol is exactly the type of outcome we work for every day.
Dr. Israel San Román and the whole team truly appreciate your words about the precision, care and attention you felt during each step. We are also very grateful for your mention of Dr. José Manuel and the family legacy behind the clinic — we are proud to continue his path in minimally invasive foot surgery with the same dedication to medical excellence and humane care.
Thank you again for your trust and for recommending us. We remain at your disposal for any follow-up or future care you may need.
Warm regards from Dr. Israel, Dr. José Manuel and the entire Clínica San Román team.
Con la técnica que utilizan apenas hay 24-48 de “molestias”, ni siquiera dolor y no queda ningún tipo de marca o cicatriz.
SE LO RECOMIENDO A TODO EL MUNDO.
Tanto el trato del doctor como de todo su equipo es fabuloso desde el primer hasta el último momento.
Amparo, ha sido un verdadero placer acompañarte en tu cirugía de juanetes y en todo el proceso de recuperación. Saber que ahora puedes usar tus estilettos, mocasines y sandalias sin dolor y con total comodidad nos llena de alegría 😊
En Clínica San Román trabajamos cada día para que la cirugía mínimamente invasiva del pie permita una recuperación rápida, con pocas molestias y sin cicatrices visibles, tal y como comentas. Tu experiencia es el mejor ejemplo de que cuidar la salud de los pies mejora tanto la calidad de vida como la parte estética 👣
Gracias por confiar en el Dr. San Román y en todo el equipo, y por recomendar nuestra clínica “a todo el mundo”. Seguiremos aquí para lo que puedas necesitar en el futuro. 🙌✨
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and heartfelt review. After everything you have been through with your feet and so many previous surgeries, it means a great deal to us that you finally feel relieved and happy with the results.

We are very happy that you chose to travel to Alicante and place your trust in Clínica San Román. Knowing that you can now walk more comfortably is the best reward for our work. We are also glad that you found our location easy to access and convenient.
