Report from their website: 'During the orthopedic visit the doctor pays particular attention so that the patient can understand all the information about the most suitable surgical technique to which he will be subjected (informed consent)'.
In the case of Morton's neuroma, after the investigation with MRI, the doctor who performed the examination (Assaad Assaker), without looking at the DVD of the resonance images, without looking at the foot, in a visit lasting 1 minute , indicated surgical excision as a therapy.
As this superficial investigation did not satisfy me, I consulted another doctor, from a state facility this time, who, after a very thorough investigation, told me that the intervention is not necessary as the minimally invasive percutaneous therapy gives him same results. To my question about why the surgical removal was proposed to me in the private clinic (Pederzoli), the doctor replied that most likely for reasons of income (even if the operation is subsidized by the state, the clinic receives more for an operation in the operating room than for a non-invasive operation).
So, from personal experience, I recommend avoiding this clinic due to the long waiting times, the unfriendly staff, the therapies not consonant with the patient's interest and health.
