Lo mejor:
El Dr. Casañas es un gran profesional, un cirujano que me ha devuelto la felicidad, la sonrisa...., me ha extirpado varios tumores quitándome así el dolor que llevaba padeciendo años y que otros cirujanos me decían que no se podía hacer nada. No tengo palabras de enorme agradecimiento hacia èl.
Podría mejorar:
Es imposible encontrar algo mejor que èl en su especialidad. Un gran doctor y una mejor persona.
Lo mejor:
La profesionalidad,es un Dios,pero es cierto que el trato personal es un poco frio,y he pasado por quirofano tres vecescon el.Es un medico genial
Podría mejorar:
El trato al paciente yo tambien me he preguntado que si en vez de ir a Bellvitge me hubiese visitado por lo privado el trato hubiese sido igual?
Podría mejorar:
Ayer, 5/5/2016, me visité con el Dr. Casañas Sintes en el Hospital de Bellvitge. Era la primera vez que me atendía. No pongo en duda sus conocimientos, pero sí debo decir que en cuanto a trato personal y profesional deja mucho que desear. Actuará de igual modo en su consulta privada de Teknon?
Me liberó con gran maestría un nervio periférico de la pierna, una intervención compleja que muy pocos especialistas acometen. Lo recomiendo 100 por 100.

Después de SIETE años sin mover los dedos, y pasando por un sinfín de periplos, y médicos con diagnósticos dudosos, incluso llegando a decir que no mover mis dedos era un problema psicoanalítico....Llego a la consulta del Dr. Casañas, y en dos días decidió operar...al despertar de la operación, movía TODOS LOS DEDOS DE LA MANO! sin palabras, es un gran profesional!! el y todo su equipo obviamente!
Si hay un doctor al que vaya a recordar toda mi vida, es al Dr. Casañas. Después de más de 20 años, aún recuerdo sus palabras:” Quien bien te quiere, te hará llorar” Y así fue y así salvó mi pierna. Leo comentarios sobre el trato personal y que podría mejorar, pero en lo que a mí se refiere el trato siempre fue correcto y me demostró lo mucho que le preocupaba el estado de mis fracturas y posterior problema vascular. A día de hoy me doy cuenta de lo joven que era entonces y en aquel momento no era consciente, puesto que yo era una niña de 18 años. Después de ver su curriculum y lo lejos que ha llegado, he de decir que es más que merecido puesto que es todo un profesional y que siempre le estaré agradecida. Si en algún momento me leyera, reciba un enorme abrazo.

Lo conocí "gracias" a un accidente que tuve. Pese a la mala experiencia, tuve mucha suerte en encontrarme con un medico así. Se le nota la experiencia, es muy profesional y una persona muy cercana. No deja nunca que tires la toalla, y gracias a él no lo hice para estar como estoy de bien..
Podría mejorar:Pues.. por decir algo las esperas, no te llamaban casi nunca a la hora, pero la espera sin duda alguna valía la pena. Además viendo o solicitado que estaba siempre era normal..
