El Dr. Manuel David Garcia, tiene unas manos de oro! Llevo años de dolor en las cervicales y un día una clienta me habló de él y me comentó que había infiltrado a su marido y que estaba estupendamente, así que me visitó y me infiltró, desde entonces mi dolor se ha reducido un 90%!! Alucinante! Así que lo recomiendo al 100%.
Response from the owner:Muchas gracias Patricia que manifiestes públicamente tu opición sobre el Dr. García. Nos alegra que hayas tenido una experiencia satisfactoria en MIVI Salud
Llevo unas 20 sesiones, pero solo dos con RAQUEL , solo con dos he notado una mejora increíble. Se nota cuando alguien tiene interés real en que mejores. Es súper atenta, explica todo genial y transmite mucha confianza. Da gusto encontrarte con gente así, que disfruta lo que hace.
José LH. Soy paciente desde hace 2 años de la Dra. Marta del Valle por un problema del nervio pudendo, y dichoso nervio incontrolable que no te deja dormir y te hace a dar vueltas por el pasillo toda la noche . Yo pensaba que esto era para siempre, ya que los medicamentos con el tiempo dejaban de hacer efecto. Menos mal que di con la Dra. Marta, que me aplicó radiofrecuencia pulsada, lo que ha hecho que mi vida cambiara por completo. Se lo agradeceré toda la vida. Además, hay que señalar su atención, agradable y profesional que es la Dra. Todo esto lo hago extensible a su enfermera y equipo. Y como estamos en f, les deseo Feliz
Response from the owner:Gracias José por las 5 estrellas y por confiar en nuestros servicios y en el doctora del Valle. En MIVI Salud estamos para ayudar a nuestros pacientes de la mejor forma posible. Un saludo.
