Two specialists from HLA Inmaculada, chosen as the best cardiologist and allergist in Spain
The Doctoralia Awards recognise the work of the two professionals from the hospital belonging to the HLA Group in Granada.
The doctors from the Hospital HLA Inmaculada, Antonio Arrebola (cardiologist) and Isabel Fernández de Alba (allergist), have been recognised as the best professionals in their specialities at the eighth edition of the Doctoralia Awards. These prizes acknowledge the work of the selected healthcare specialists according to patient valuations. The final result is decided on by their own professional colleagues, who vote, taking into account criteria of performance, curriculum and experience.
Dr. Fernández de Alba, an allergist at HLA Inmaculada, has received this award for the second year running. She is a graduate in Medicine from the University of Granada and she studied the speciality of Allergology at the Burgos Hospital Universitario. She has developed her professional career in different hospitals, both public and private, all over Spain. She has also taken part in research projects on food allergies and projects on environmental allergy; she is the author of different articles and chapters in books and she is a member of the Food Allergy Committee of the Spanish Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology, (SEAIC), as well as the Committee of Young Allergists (CAJMIR).
For Dr. Fernández de Alba, renewing this award “is very gratifying as it confirms the confidence that my patients placed in me last year. I am very grateful that they have chosen me again and they have taken the trouble to write a positive review about my work. It is also important for me that my own professional colleagues have the last word with their votes and I could not be more grateful for their value of my daily work and effort.”
Dr. Arrebola is a specialist in Cardiology, a graduate in Medicine and Surgery from the University of Granada, with a sub-speciality in Haemodynamics. With an international doctorate Cum laude from the same university, he has different masters in cardiovascular prevention and cardiac rehabilitation, regenerative bio-medicine, clinical cardiology or sport cardiology studied at St. George’s (London), where he also carried out the Post-residency Research Fellowship. He is a university expert in diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases and a collaborating professor at the University of Granada. “This is a very special recognition. The Doctoralia Awards are granted based on valuations by patients and colleagues. It is gratifying to know that all the effort I put in studying, training and working have resulted in the perception and valuation by patients and colleagues, and this, without any doubt, is the best reward,” Dr. Arrebola affirms.
