Enorme agraïment al Dr. Juli Carballo Garrido perquè li ha donat vida al meu pare, quan només li quedaven dies de vida segons altres metges, mil gràcies per la seva atenció, dedicació i la seva professionalitat, tan a nivell humà com a nivell tècnic en la seva especialitat. Persona amb grans valors i coneixements, sempre ens parlava de VIDA fins i tot en moments de feblesa ens va animar a seguir endavant.... Sempre, sempre el portarem en el nostre cor, en especial el meu pare que amb 94 anys, i amb ganes de viure, ha tornat a néixer!!! Mil gràcies Dr. Carballo
I had my stent placement surgery from teknon hospital in 2018. I was so worried before my operation that I was even unable to eat and sleep. Dr. Julio and the hospital staff gave me a lot of strength and made this procedure really easy for me.
