CAREER PATH

Since he was young, Dr. de Quintana wanted to be a doctor in order to help people. He studied for his degree in Medicine and Surgery at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB). In the first years of his studies, he was fascinated with the somewhat unknown, yet beautifully complex organ of the brain. Moreover, his preference for the surgical field made the decision about which specialty to choose very easy: Neurosurgery.

His Neurosurgery residency was done at Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau. After years of hard work and studying, he began subspecializations in two principal fields: Brain Tumors (Neuro-Oncology) and Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery. He complemented his training doing fellowships in two world reference hospitals: Hospitalier Universitaire in Montpellier and Ospedale Niguarda in Milan.

Currently, Dr. de Quintana is the Chairman of the Department at Hospital Sanitas CIMA, recognized as one of the top spine specialists in Barcelona and an expert surgeon in brain tumors.
