Dr. Maria Dolores Varela Costa

After completing my neurosurgery residency at the Mutua de Terrassa University Hospital in 2013, I worked for 6 years at the Centro Médico Teknon, where I acquired training in minimally invasive and endoscopic surgery of the brain and lumbar spine.

In 2020 I joined the Instituto Clavel team and I feel very fortunate to be part of this great team, of surgeons and people, from whom I continue to learn every day.
