Editorial note: The institute is now DEPARTMENT-LED (multiple named current surgeons in reviews: Dr. Marc Carbonell Puig, Dra. Alicia Serra Castanera, Dra. M.E. Martínez), so for a given case the operating surgeon may not be Dr. Jorge Castanera personally — he is senior/director; verify whether he operates vs. supervises. Two related Castanera addresses exist: Instituto Castanera (Via Augusta 20-22, [email protected] — verified) and Clínica Castanera / Grupo Castanera (Carrer de Vilana 12). Address/phone verified on Doctoralia and Barcelona city directory.
