Reviews
What operated patients say
"An umbilical hernia I had carried for years. Into theatre at eight, having tea at home by five. The quote was exactly what they told me on day one: not a euro more."
"Three gallbladder attacks in a year. Dr. Díaz operated fifteen days after my first visit, laparoscopically. What I valued most: the team's direct phone line that first week."
"Hernias on both sides. Keyhole surgery on a Thursday; back at the gym in week three. Both fixed in one operation."
Reviews collected after discharge and published with permission. See all reviews.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does surgery cost at Insurgical?
Every procedure has a fixed price published on its page — for example €3,890 for an inguinal hernia, €4,250 for gallbladder removal or €2,000 for haemorrhoids — tax included, covering theatre, anaesthesia, materials and follow-up reviews. The €79 first visit is fully deducted if you proceed. Financing over 3, 6, 12 or 24 months.
How soon can I be operated on?
First visit within 24–72 working hours and surgery, when indicated, within 2–3 weeks at Hospital Universitari Mútua Terrassa. Timelines are confirmed in writing with your quote.
Where is the clinic and where do you operate?
Consultations at Calle Balmes 55, 2nd floor, office A (08007 Barcelona, Eixample). Surgery takes place at Hospital Universitari Mútua Terrassa with Dr. Díaz's regular team.
Do you work with insurance companies?
We are direct-pay private medicine: you receive a full invoice and reports to claim reimbursement if your policy covers free choice of surgeon. Details per insurer on our insurers page.
What is day surgery (CMA)?
Having your operation and sleeping at home the same day, with the same safety standards as an overnight stay. Most of our hernia and proctology surgery works this way.
Does the first visit commit me to surgery?
No. Around one in five visits ends without a surgical indication. We also provide second opinions on diagnoses and quotes from other centres.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes: 3, 6, 12 or 24 months, subject to approval. Each procedure page includes an instalment simulator.
Do you handle emergencies?
We are not an emergency service. For acute abdominal pain, high fever or a hernia that will not reduce, go to hospital A&E. Operated patients have a direct line to the team.
