Houd ook rekening dat de ziektekostenverzekering in Nederland een voet vergoed als je beide voeten tegelijk laat opereren. En vraag vooraf toestemming aan je verzekeraar. Ik raad iedereen aan om zich door deze dokter te laten opereren. Het hele team van San Román zijn TOPPERS. 👍👍👍.
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.
