Specialist in Digestive Diseases, ICAdig Attending Physician, Hospital Clínico San Carlos · Madrid
Dialogue must be the central element of medical consultations. Helping patients requires technical knowledge and, above all, the ability to understand their needs.
– About me
Originally from Granada and a resident of Madrid by choice, Dr. Mañas Gallardo trained as a specialist at the Hospital Clínico San Carlos in Madrid and completed his advanced endoscopy training at the Institut Clínic de Malalties Digestives i Metabòliques of the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona. More than fifteen years later, he continues to dedicate every consultation to the same principle he started with: listen first, decide later.
As a Specialist in Digestive Diseases, he serves as an attending physician at the Hospital Clínico San Carlos in Madrid, where he is also a residency tutor and teaching collaborator in the training of digestive system specialists.
He is co-responsible for the High-Risk and Colorectal Cancer Prevention Unit and head of the Colon Cancer Prevention Program of the Community of Madrid (Prevecolon) in Area 7. For nearly a decade, he also coordinated the Barrett’s Esophagus Unit and the Functional Disorders Unit at HM Sanchinarro University Hospital.
His clinical practice integrates advanced diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy with a special focus on the prevention of digestive tumors. At ICAdig, he treats general digestive pathology, neurogastroenterology and motility, and digestive cancer prevention.
He holds a Diploma of Advanced Studies from the Complutense University of Madrid regarding the motor behavior of the esophagus in patients with Barrett’s esophagus, and has university degrees in Advanced Endoscopy of the Digestive Tract (Catholic University of Valencia), Clinical Reasoning, and Urgent and Emergency Care in Gastroenterology and Hepatology.
