Official Statement from Promohealth S.L. on behalf of Dr. Vicenç Gilete
In light of the repeated publications appearing on social media and in various media outlets regarding medical fees and costs associated with surgical interventions performed in Barcelona by our team, as well as the alleged need to resort to crowdfunding platforms, we hereby issue the following statement:
1. We have detected that amounts regarding our services are being published on social media that do not correspond to reality in any way, grossly exceeding (in some instances by more than threefold) the official cost estimates that we provide in a personalized manner for each specific case.
2. Our company name or the name of our Lead Surgeon is being used without our express authorization; in some cases, without us even having issued any official quote or medical estimate whatsoever.
3. Appeals are being made to the public’s goodwill to conduct crowdfunding campaigns utilizing our name and reputation, without the knowledge, consent, or authorization of Promohealth S.L.
4. Promohealth S.L. does not participate in nor endorse said financing initiatives, and is unaware of the final destination of the amounts raised via crowdfunding. Promohealth S.L. hereby disclaims any and all liability regarding the ultimate use of funds collected through such platforms, as well as regarding any fraudulent, undue, or irregular use of said funds by prospective patients or third parties.
5. In order to safeguard the reputation of Promohealth S.L. and that of our Lead Surgeon, as well as to protect the rights of all those individuals who, in good faith, have made contributions to crowdfunding campaigns, we inform you that our legal counsel has received express instructions to pursue all appropriate legal actions against any unauthorized or undue use of our name, brand, or professional reputation. This applies to publications on social media, print media, or any other communication channels, including television, radio, or digital platforms.
