How to Book a Nephrologist in Valencia

Booking a private nephrology consultation in Valencia

Arranging a private appointment with Dr. Juan Luis Villaro Gumpert is straightforward, and — importantly for international patients — you do not need a referral from another doctor. You can contact the clinic directly and book yourself in. Here is exactly how it works.

Step 1: Get in touch by WhatsApp or phone

The simplest way to book is by WhatsApp, which works well across languages and time zones and gives you a written record of your appointment. You can also call the clinic by phone. Either way, you will be in touch with someone who can answer your questions and confirm a time.

When you message or call, it helps to briefly mention:

• Why you would like to be seen — for example a high creatinine result, protein or blood in the urine, swelling, high blood pressure, or follow-up of known kidney disease.
• Whether you have recent test results to bring.
• Your preferred date and whether you have any scheduling constraints.

You do not need to explain everything in detail at this stage; a short summary is enough to arrange the right appointment.

Step 2: Confirm the day and time

Dr. Villaro holds his private clinic on Thursdays, from 16:30 to 20:30. When you make contact, you will be offered a slot within these hours. Appointments are generally available within a short timeframe, so you rarely have to wait long to be seen — a real advantage when you have an abnormal result you want assessed promptly.

Step 3: Know where to go

The consultation takes place at:

Hospital Vithas 9 de Octubre C/ Valle de la Ballestera, 59 46015 Valencia, Spain

The hospital is well located in Valencia and easy to reach. Aim to arrive a little early on your first visit to allow time for registration at reception.

Step 4: What to bring

To make the most of your appointment, bring:

• Any recent blood and urine test results, ideally going back a few years if you have them, so that trends in kidney function can be assessed.
• A list of your current medications, including doses.
• Reports from previous doctors or hospitals, including any from your home country.
• Your identification and, if you are using insurance, your insurance details and authorisation (see our insurance guide).

If your records are in another language, that is not a problem — Dr. Villaro works in both English and Spanish, and lab values are largely universal.

What to expect after booking

Once your appointment is confirmed, there is nothing else you need to do but gather your paperwork. At the visit, Dr. Villaro will review your history and results, examine you, and explain his findings clearly. If further tests are needed, he will arrange them and walk you through the next steps.
