Who are we?
WELCOME LETTER

We would like to welcome you to the Neurology Service and inform you of the services we have at your disposal. We are a coordinated group of professionals specialized in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the nervous system. Our attitude towards the trust placed in us by patients and their families is one of full dedication and responsibility. We have the most modern diagnostic technologies and the most advanced therapeutic possibilities. Since the beginning of our activity we have known that the most important thing is the patient.
We have a highly qualified team of neurologists, neurophysiologists, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, physiotherapists, speech therapists and occupational therapists. Health technical assistants (HTAs) and specialized clinic assistants participate in neurophysiological techniques. In addition, our administrative staff works to ensure that the study of the patients who come to us is carried out in an agile and coordinated manner in a pleasant and discreet environment.
Areas in which we have particular expertise include headaches, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease and other intellectual disorders, Parkinson’s disease, sleep disorders, neuromuscular diseases, neuro-ophthalmology, neuro-oncology and child neurology.
We have a Neurorehabilitation Unit where all types of acute and chronic neurological diseases can be treated by specialized personnel with the objective of reaching the maximum level of physical, cognitive and emotional autonomy, favoring as much as possible the independence for the activities of daily living and social integration.
We appreciate the trust you place in us. We will respond to this trust by dealing responsibly with the medical problem for which we are consulted, always bearing in mind that the most important thing is the person.

our History?
Dr. Oriol Franch initiated the project that is currently the Neurology Service of the Ruber International Hospital in 1984. From the beginning, the objective was to practice high-level clinical neurology. In order to respond adequately to the needs of patients with neurological disorders, units specialized in the different neurological pathologies were developed, new professionals were incorporated and diagnostic techniques were developed. Dr. Antonio Gil-Nagel joined the project in 1998 as Director of the Epilepsy Unit.
Currently, the Neurology Service has professionals trained in the best national and international centers committed to the initial project of developing the specialty at the highest level. Our team is made up of neurologists, neurophysiologists, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists and neuropsychologists. We also have a Neuro-Rehabilitation Unit to ensure the comprehensive treatment of patients who need it.
In addition to the healthcare activity, we develop an intense teaching and research activity as a result of our vocation in the generation of knowledge and its transmission.
The Neurology Service of the Ruber International Hospital has been included by the prestigious Newsweek magazine in its latest ranking of the World’s Best Specialized Hospitals 2022, 2023 and 2024, which lists the best neurological centers in the world.
