What ROC Clinic does

ROC Clinic (legal entity: Urología Médico Quirúrgica, S.L.) is a private urology specialty clinic founded in 1993 and headquartered in Madrid, Spain at Paseo del General Martínez Campos, 17. The clinic operates with over 70 healthcare professionals organized into seven super-specialized units covering prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, uro-oncology, lithiasis (kidney stones), functional and female urology, andrology and reconstructive surgery, and pediatric urology. It is directed by Dr. Javier Romero-Otero, who trained at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and serves concurrently as Director of Urology at HM Hospitales across four Madrid sites.

The clinic's clinical technology stack centers on robotic-assisted surgery using both Da Vinci (including Single Port, pioneered in Spain in 2025) and Hugo RAS systems, complemented by Holmium Laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) where the team has performed over 3,000 procedures, establishing national and international training leadership.

Revenue is generated through professional services — direct medical consultations, diagnostic services, and surgical procedures — with the clinic accepting all major Spanish insurance providers and also serving self-pay patients. Distribution channels include direct in-person consultations in Madrid, a dedicated international patient program for cross-border healthcare, a second opinion service, and clinical operations via the HM Hospitales network. The clinic is privately held with no disclosed external investment and operates from a single primary location supported by hospital partnerships.
