Dr León González Massieu is backed by more than 30 years of experience as a specialist in orthopaedic surgery and traumatology. He began his career at the University Hospital of the Canary Islands under the Canary Islands Health Service until, ten years ago, he changed role to manage the Orthopaedic Surgery and Traumatology Department at this hospital.
