What conditions can be assessed?
Consultations can address orthopedic trauma, hand and upper-limb problems, and questions about joint procedures.
Assessment establishes which questions need further evaluation, treatment planning or referral where appropriate.
Arthroscopy and minimally invasive procedures may also be discussed where clinically appropriate. These approaches are not suitable for every patient or condition, and listing a procedure does not mean it will be recommended or personally performed by Dr. Joaquim Fores Vineta.
Diagnostic review, second opinions and personalized recovery planning help structure the discussion around individual needs. A consultation can clarify uncertainties without committing a patient to surgery.
What happens at an initial consultation?
An initial consultation focuses on understanding your concerns and discussing assessment and treatment-planning questions.
It is an opportunity to explain what matters to you and ask about possible next steps.
Discussion can cover your symptoms, previous assessments and expectations. Diagnostic review and second opinions provide space to reconsider existing information and identify questions that remain unanswered.

Personalized recovery planning considers the individual rather than promising a fixed result. Further diagnostics, treatment discussions or referral may be appropriate, depending on the assessment.
This page is educational, not a diagnosis or treatment recommendation. For urgent or worsening symptoms, seek appropriate urgent medical care through local emergency services or a qualified healthcare professional.
How can international patients enquire?
International patients can request a consultation or second opinion through the clinic contact page.
UK, US and European medical travellers, expats and local residents can explain their circumstances when enquiring.
International patient support
Support helps overseas patients communicate consultation needs and raise questions about diagnostics, treatment planning and recovery before arranging travel.
Multilingual care
Care in English, French, Spanish, and Catalan supports clearer conversations about concerns, assessment findings and the questions patients want answered.
Multidisciplinary support team
A multidisciplinary support team helps coordinate communication around assessment, diagnostics, treatment planning and recovery, according to individual needs.
Online consultations are available. Ask which consultation format is appropriate for your enquiry rather than assuming an online discussion replaces an in-person assessment.
