Una gran persona, humana y atenta y magnifico profesional. Me secciones el nervio interno del pulgar de la mano izquierda y aunque todavia no se me ha solucionado, la atención y preocupación de este medico me da tranquilidad de que se solucionara.
Podría mejorar:
Tuviera más días de visita para no tener las visitas tan espaciadas.
Es increible!!! Te arregla lo que otros medicos te dicen que no tiene arreglo. Muy buen medico!!!!!

Lo mejor es la profesionalidad y experiencia del Dr, Casañas
Está siempre muy ocupado, tiene muchos pacientes y su agenda demasiado llena. El día 3 de Mayo me operó de la mano y hasta el próximo 23 de Mayo no tengo la 1ª visita control. Creo que es demasiado tiempo.
Después de esperar 2h, me visitó en 5min. Sólo miró la resonancia, en ningún momento me exploró la mano. Me aconsejó operarme. Fue a consultar a otro especialista y todo es debido a contractura muscular e inflamación de los tendones. Con ejercicios y estiramientos estoy solucionando el problema.
Como profesional me esperaba más empatía a mi situación, estuve 2 ocasiones y entre ellas obtuvo un regalo que no prestó atención, Esencia de la cruz es un producto para dolores y demás lesiones , fué un regalo para el y explicativo para sus pacientes poder recomendar ya que está en farmacias y herbolarios. Pues una vez yo darle las explicaciones me hizo sentirme violento, sin mirarme dejo el bote y sigui escribiendo, una falta de respeto a mi persona y a cualquier persona que se le dé un regalo . Acto seguido teníamos que vernos después de que el me llamará, puesto en la segunda visita por otra lesión en mis manos, estás que necesito para mí trabajo, me dijo que mejor ver el CD, puesto el informe no era muy certero.
Le dejé el CD en recepción, le llamé a los días, solicité que me dijera algo, volví a llamar a los días y dejé de nuevo el recado, no obtuve llamada, ni correo ni respuesta. Una falta de respeto porque yo ya pague mi visita y evidentemente habíamos quedado de no volver
22/07/2024 tenia primera cita con el doctor Casañas en su consulta de la clínica Teknon - vilana despacho 121-122 para las 11:15 de la mañana.
Tras una hora de espera, preguntamos en el mostrador de la consulta si faltava mucho para que nos atendiera el doctor.
La respuesta fue que tendríamos que esperar todavía una hora más porque el doctor tenía hoy muchas visitas
Era mi primera visita i teniamos muy buenas referencias de este doctor, però la gestión de las visitas es decepcionante.
Asi que nos hemos tenido que marchar sin poder hacer la visita.
