TEACHING AND RESEARCH
Medicine also grows
through study.
Clinical practice, teaching and research complement one another. Academic activity is part of my commitment to neurosurgery.

Teaching and scientific participation
I contribute to the education of medical students at the Universitat de Barcelona and participate in neurosurgical scientific meetings, including SENEC and EANS congresses.
Training, research and patient education.
An academic foundation for clinical care
My background includes Medicine at the Universitat de Girona, specialist training at Hospital Clínic and a PhD at the Universitat de Barcelona. A clinical observership at Weill Cornell Medicine complemented this training.
Clinical practice, teaching and research
I combine clinical practice with teaching and research. During consultation, this commitment means explaining the reasoning behind a proposal, the alternatives and any questions that still need clarification.
Information to understand neurosurgery
Patient education is also part of care. PortalClínic features information on spine endoscopy documented by me, explaining the technique and the need for individual assessment.

Dr Abel Ferrés is a neurosurgeon in Barcelona whose practice focuses on spine surgery and neuro-oncology. His work includes endoscopic spine surgery and other minimally invasive approaches.
He graduated in Medicine from the Universitat de Girona and completed his neurosurgical residency at Hospital Clínic de Barcelona. He holds a PhD in Medicine from the Universitat de Barcelona, with a cum laude distinction, and completed a clinical observership at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York.
His approach centres on assessing each case individually, explaining the diagnosis and considering the available treatment options. Whether surgery is appropriate, and which technique to use, depends on each patient's clinical circumstances and needs.
About Dr Abel Ferrés
