I have twice received outpatient treatment and surgery with Mr. Neuhaus and continue to recommend Clinica Sandalf to others. The clinic atmosphere and everyone there is friendly and relaxing. Mr. Neuhaus kept me fully informed and advised, including the risks of problems which might, albeit it rarely, occur; he has patience and a good sense of humour – I had complete trust and confidence throughout.

My wife has recently had a full knee replacement and the service and care that she received was excellent. After just 6 weeks she is able to walk without pain and without the use of sticks. I would highly recommend a consultation with Dr Alf Neuhaus if you are having problems with painful knees or hips.

I had severe back and leg pain; & from the second I walked into Clinica Sandalf the diagnosis and treatment were fast and first class. Dr Alf performed my surgery for a large herniated disk at a local Hospital. The surgery went well, and my 2 nights stay in hospital were very comfortable. All of the nursing staff spoke English. Dr Alf oversaw my recovery which was complication free. He is a kind and caring Doctor, with decades of experience. David, the physiotherapist, was on hand with invaluable assistance and advice. From start to finish I can’t fault the care I received. Highly recommended.

I have been a patient with Sandalf Clinic for more than 17 years and Alf Neuhaus has replaced both my hips and helped with various other ailments to my old bones. I waited 4 years to return to Spain to have him do my first hip replacement and recently had the other done. I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of any type of orthopedic help……he knows what he is doing and he does it well. Just have a look at his photo – that smile speaks a thousand words and they are all good. I always look to Alf when I am in need of help as I know I can count on feeling better real soon.
