Welcome to our Blog

My name is Javier Rodríguez and I am the Medical Director of the NIVARIA CLINIC.

This Center is made up of specialized professionals trained in the public healthcare system of our country, considered one of the best in the developed world, and who currently combine our private practice with it, in order to always apply the latest therapeutic protocols and complement those techniques not available in public healthcare, such as refractive surgery, oculoplastic surgery, contact lenses…
Opening a center like this, equipped with the latest technology and operating rooms for major outpatient surgery, has required a tremendous organizational, administrative, and financial effort, but after seven years of operation, the results are very positive. We are proud to offer a top-quality alternative with no waiting lists and the best technology.

As Medical Director, I have always placed vital importance on the human touch that our Center must provide. Unlike a public healthcare system that is increasingly overburdened and staffed with more demotivated professionals, our Center has always guaranteed personalized care for each case and the quickest possible resolution.

Medical professionals are always learning. As a discipline heavily reliant on technological advancements, it requires constant updating and retraining. Therefore, those of us dedicated to it must attend numerous courses and conferences and be willing to invest in the latest devices, especially now that public budgets are frozen and private initiatives are needed.

One of the consequences of trying to stay "up-to-date" is to become involved with new communication channels and trends, such as social media.
Therefore, we invite all our patients, followers, and friends to visit our website and Facebook page and help us improve with your suggestions.

And remember: PROTECT YOUR VISION!
