I was hesitant about undergoing Peripheral Nerve Surgery, but Dr. Antonio Russi Tintore put me at ease with his professionalism and compassionate approach. He took the time to understand my concerns and goals and provided me with evidence-based explanations. The procedure was a success, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend Dr. Antonio Russi to anyone considering Peripheral Nerve Surgery.
I came to Dr. Antonio for the treatment of my daughter’s seizures and he did a whole check-up and then provided her medications. She had extreme seizures that sometimes became uncontrollable and it was tough for her to continue her studies. It was Dr. Antonio who made it all possible for her to recover.
I highly recommend Dr. Antonio Russi Tintore from Quironsalud Teknon Medical Center. He treated my epileptic seizures, and I got satisfying results.

I want to share my visit with Dr. Antonio. My son was suffering from epilepsy disease. We were very worried and my whole family was suffering. A friend told me about Dr. Antonio. He provided proper treatment to my son and discussed the whole procedure of the treatment with me. Our experience with Dr. Russi was great and now my son is better.
