At DrGilete.com, under the leadership of Neurosurgeon Specialist Dr. Vicenç Gilete, we combine decades of hands-on experience with cutting-edge technology to provide comprehensive care for patients with complex spinal conditions. With over 25 years in neurosurgery, I have witnessed first-hand the struggles and triumphs that come with diagnosing and treating conditions like Craniocervical Instability (CCI), Atlantoaxial Instability (AAI), Chiari Syndrome, Tethered Cord, and connective tissue disorders such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). Every patient’s journey is unique, and I am committed to sharing my personal experience and expertise to offer care that is both state-of-the-art and profoundly compassionate.

Our Specialized Services

We pride ourselves on delivering a full spectrum of services tailored to the unique needs of each patient. Our approach is rooted in years of real-world surgical practice and continuous refinement of our techniques.

Advanced Diagnosis and Evaluation

Utilizing innovative imaging methods such as upright Cone Beam CT (uCBCT), high-field MRI with artificial intelligence enhancement, and dynamic imaging techniques, we ensure precise diagnosis—because a proper diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective treatment. Combining these technologies with careful clinical assessment significantly improves accuracy in diagnosis.

Comprehensive Treatment Options

Whether your condition requires non-surgical therapies or minimally invasive surgical interventions, our team provides a customized plan. I have personally managed countless cases, always ensuring that every treatment plan reflects a blend of advanced technology and a deep understanding of the patient’s clinical history and needs.

Teleconsultations and Second Opinions

Recognizing the challenges many patients face in accessing expert care, we offer both in-person consultations at our partner facilities in Barcelona and remote telemedicine evaluations. This dual approach ensures that expert advice is always within reach.

Advanced Imaging and Diagnostic Excellence

Our commitment to innovative diagnostic techniques sets us apart. We work with state-of-the-art imaging protocols that capture dynamic views of the spine in various positions—information critical to accurately diagnosing subtle instabilities and complex conditions. As someone who has refined these practices through years of rigorous clinical experience, I understand that clear, weight-bearing images can make all the difference in planning effective treatment.

A Patient-Centered Approach with Proven Expertise

Every aspect of our service reflects an understanding that the patient is the most important part of the equation. Drawing on my personal journey as a neurosurgeon, I am dedicated to guiding patients through every step—from initial evaluation through treatment and rehabilitation. This commitment is not just professional; it comes from a genuine desire to see patients reclaim their lives and well-being. Our multidisciplinary team supports a holistic model of care that values effective communication, empathy, and the sharing of expertise. Whether you are seeking a second opinion or comprehensive evaluation for complex spinal issues, our approach is built on trust, transparency, and proven results.

Testimonials

I had a craniocervical fusion with Dr. Gilete and his associate at Teknon hospital. From the moment I became their patient they were very caring and respectful. Their knowledge as well as their compassion amazed me. I felt safe and very well cared for before the surgery, during surgery and recovery as well as afterwards. I trusted them with my life and if needed I would do it again. I’m now slowly getting my life back from being mostly bed bound for several years. The pain is minimal and all previous symptoms caused by the instability are gone. I am forever grateful to Dr. Gilete and his team.

From start to finish the care and advice provided was superb. All the medics involved in surgery run like a well-oiled machine and communicate thoroughly. I had been laying in a bed for 18 hours a day and using a wheelchair for some time. I am two weeks post full cervical fusion and I can barely recognise myself. I had hoped for improvements but my expectations have been more than exceeded! Thank you all! You have given me my life back!
