Procedures
What your knee needs depends on what your knee has.
Not all pain requires surgery. Not all surgeries are the same. Here every treatment starts with an exact diagnosis.

Damage is repaired from the inside, without opening the knee. Top athletes trust this technique to get back on the field as soon as possible.

FAQ
What every patient asks before deciding
These are the same questions we hear in the office every week. Here are the honest answers.
01 Do you accept major medical insurance?
Yes, we work with most national and international insurance companies (GNP, AXA, Seguros Monterrey, Mapfre, etc.). Our administrative team handles all the paperwork for your convenience.
02 Is the arthroscopy procedure painful?
Arthroscopy is minimally invasive, which means postoperative pain is significantly less than in traditional open surgery. Additionally, we use modern pain management protocols alongside our specialist anesthesiologist.
03 How much does an initial evaluation cost?
We can provide the cost of the specialty consultation with Dr. López Valerio immediately via WhatsApp or phone call. We always strive to offer the best value for the highest medical quality and certified experience.
04 How long does recovery take from an arthroscopy?
Time varies depending on the specific type of injury, but many patients walk with support the same day and return to their routine activities in 2 to 4 weeks. Athletes may take longer to return to their peak competitive level depending on their rehabilitation program.
05 Do I definitely need surgery?
Not always. In fact, Dr. López Valerio always prioritizes conservative treatment (physical therapy, injections, medications) when feasible. Surgery is the last resort or the first option only when clearly indicated (e.g., a complete ligament tear requiring repair for an active lifestyle).
How many more months will you wait
for it to go away on its own?
Knee pain almost never gets better with time. A timely evaluation can be the difference between therapy and the operating room.
