Urology Dept. Torrevieja ?

Urology Dept. Torrevieja ?

Postby JohnES » Sat Mar 12, 2022 12:54 pm

Can anybody tell me what the waiting time is for the Urology dept. in Torrevieja as I have been waiting since October for an appointment.
I used to be able to see the outstanding request on the Portal Salud website but that has been discontinued and I cannot see the request on the Valencia website. They seemed to have got rid of the message service to your doctor as well. I saw my doctor this past week and the doctor did not know or was not saying if there is even a Urologist at Torrevieja hospital since the control of the hospital was changed in October.

Not the same area but i have been waiting for a follow up neurology appointment since last June after a head scan and follow up ENT appointment since last August. I have been to the health centre and was just told hospital is running behind. I have since actually been to hospital twice and both occasions have been told they will request appointments for me and saw them send mails. The first time the guy told me somebody would call me next day but knew that would never happen. The second time the guy was really apologetic and said he could see how long i had been waiting but he was not allowed to book anybody in for March unless given permission by the doctor!! My next course action of action is to speak to the doctor at health centre as though my problems are not life threatening etc i am in pain and it is affecting my life but from your experience i don’t hold a lot of hope with that either. I hope you get sorted out soon think the whole healthcare system in this area is in a mess since the change over we can only hope they can get it back to how it used to be in the near future.

John, I would suggest you go back to your doctor asap. I saw my GP at the end of February and she referred me to the urologist at Torrevieja hospital.

I had a urology consultation appointment only FIVE DAYS later and an MRI scan 4 days after that! I am now waiting for the scan results which I hope to have this coming week!

There is clearly something amiss with your appointment situation so I’d suggest you get back to your GP as soon as you can!

My wife has been waiting to see the urologist for over a year now. When we asked the doctor last week, she just shrugged and said nothing she can do. Everything went haywire when the state took over the running of Torre hospital. Very sad. They were so good before this happened.

Has anybody had an appointment recently with the Urology dept. at Torrevieja hospital ? I am still waiting for an appointment which was requested by my doctor last October. I do not know if my problem is minor or serious as I have not seen anybody about it. My doctor suggested that I go to the hospital appointments desk and if that failed to go to the SAIP office which I believe is the complaints DEPT. The receptionist said that there were no appointments available and I should go the the SAIP office which I did. The administrator (in SAIP) took the details off the request form and said that I should receive an SMS in the next few days. That was a week last Thursday and no message as yet.
I am not sure whether I am on some black list or that there is not a Urologist at Torrevieja hospital.

Hi, so sorry to hear about your wait. Don't think it's just the urology department that are behind - it's all of them! I have given up trying to get my ENT follow-up appointment for a quite serious condition I have in my ear. It Seems to be a bit pandemonium at Torre hospital at the moment. We can only hope the new Valencian health minister will attempt to get things in order - but we won't hold our breath!
