– About me

Commitment to the patient beyond the symptom

Dr. Fresneda Cuesta is a Medical Specialist in Digestive System at the Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre in Madrid and a Teaching Collaborator at the Complutense University of Madrid. She carries out her private practice at ICAdig, where she focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of digestive pathology with a special emphasis on a comprehensive approach for each patient.

Her international training includes a residency in advanced endoscopy at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham (UK), which has allowed her to incorporate European reference techniques and standards into her regular clinical practice.

She is the Coordinator of the Prevecolon program for the Community of Madrid in the 12 de Octubre hospital area, a colorectal cancer screening program that represents one of the pillars of public digestive health in the region. In the academic field, she is a professor at the EndoAula Academy and the MIR AMMAMIR Academy, training the next generations of specialists.

Committed to scientific advancement, Dr. Fresneda actively participates as a researcher in the international gastroenterology community. In her daily practice, her vocation for understanding each person as a whole stands out: “Quality digestive care requires a global clinical vision that integrates experience, technique, and active listening to reach an accurate diagnosis.

"My commitment to patients goes beyond data and procedures. Understanding the illness and the vocation to help and provide relief are my primary drivers."

– Frequently asked questions

Your questions, answered

When should I see a digestive specialist?
If you experience symptoms such as frequent heartburn, abdominal pain, heavy digestion, persistent diarrhea or constipation, changes in bowel habits, difficulty swallowing, or blood in the stool, it is advisable to consult a specialist for an accurate evaluation. Do not wait for symptoms to become chronic.
The video consultation has an identical structure to an in-person visit for everything that does not require a physical examination. It is especially useful for follow-ups, reviewing test results, and second opinions. For an initial assessment where a physical examination is necessary, we recommend an in-person consultation.
ICAdig does not work directly with insurance companies, which allows us to dedicate the necessary time to each consultation. If you have a reimbursement policy, we issue detailed invoices valid for recovering the full or partial amount of the consultation fee.
