Dr Dan Gutstein Feldman is a Sanitas-registered general and digestive surgeon (cirujano general y del aparato digestivo) consulting on the Costa del Sol at Centro Médico de Especialidades & Dental San Juan de la Cruz in central Marbella. He combines four decades in private practice with a tenured surgical chair at the Universidad de Málaga and a section-head role at the Hospital Clínico Universitario Virgen de la Victoria — one of the most senior academic-surgical profiles available to Sanitas members on the western Costa del Sol. His clinical work spans coloproctology, hepato-bilio-pancreatic surgery, esophagogastric and antireflux surgery, breast surgery, bariatric procedures and laparoscopic abdominal-wall repair.

Booking your appointment
Sanitas members can book through the app, or by calling Centro Médico San Juan de la Cruz Marbella's central reception on 952 277 001. Bring your Sanitas card, photo ID, a list of any current medication, and any relevant prior imaging (abdominal ultrasound, CT, MRI, endoscopy or colonoscopy reports) and lab work — particularly if you are coming in for a surgical second opinion or pre-operative assessment. If you need a referral pathway first, see our note on primary care and specialist access.
Languages
Dr Gutstein consults in five languages — Spanish, English, French, Italian and Romanian — confirmed on his independent profile. That is an unusually broad linguistic range for a surgeon on the coast and makes him a strong fit for international Sanitas members and visiting patients who would prefer a pre-operative consultation in their own language.
Centro Médico San Juan de la Cruz — visiting and hours
Centro Médico de Especialidades & Dental San Juan de la Cruz is a multi-specialty outpatient centre on Avenida Ricardo Soriano in central Marbella, registered with the Junta de Andalucía under sanitary code NICA 61.213. The site sits in the heart of the Marbella business district, a short walk from the Old Town and the Paseo Marítimo. Surgical outpatient clinics run by appointment only — confirm your slot when booking and ask for the duration if a follow-up dressing change or wound review is needed in the same visit. Most surgical procedures are then performed at affiliated hospital sites such as Hospital Ochoa Marbella; surgical day-cases and minor procedures may be performed in-house where appropriate.
Patient feedback
Reviewers consistently note thorough explanations of surgical options and a calm pre-operative manner.

Two 24-hour pharmacies are within a few minutes' walk of the centre on the same avenue: Farmacia Berdaguer 24 Horas at Avenida Ricardo Soriano 4, and Farmacia Mingorance 24 Horas at Avenida Ricardo Soriano 44, 29601 Marbella.
