About Dr Montoro
A patient-centred approach to cardiology
Dr Montoro believes that cardiology extends well beyond diagnosis. As well as treating heart disease, she considers it essential to identify risk factors, explain each clinical decision clearly and provide continuity of care.
During consultations, she takes time to listen to each patient, review their medical history and symptoms, and understand their individual circumstances. Every care plan is tailored to the patient’s clinical needs, lifestyle and goals.
This approach lies at the heart of Clínica SAMON, a medical centre established to offer patients more time, closer coordination between specialists and care focused on meaningful health outcomes.

Why Clínica SAMON was founded
Healthcare with more time, better coordination and a stronger focus on prevention
Dr Montoro’s experience across different healthcare systems revealed a recurring problem: many patients need more time to explain their concerns, better coordination between specialists and care that intervenes before problems become more serious.
In clinical practice, high blood pressure, stress, insomnia, physical inactivity, excess weight, chronic pain, anxiety and reduced physical capacity are often interconnected. Conventional care models, however, tend to address them separately.
Clínica SAMON was created to meet this need. It brings together cardiology, mental healthcare, physiotherapy, supervised exercise and preventive medicine within a single clinical model. The aim is to understand each case more fully and develop a health plan that patients can realistically sustain in everyday life.
Structured medical programme
The SAMON Method: measure, intervene, support and sustain
The clinical vision of Dr Montoro and the SAMON team led to the development of the SAMON Method: a structured medical model that assesses three interconnected domains: cardiovascular health, physical health and mental health.
The starting point is simple: the body does not function as a set of separate compartments. The heart, metabolism, sleep, stress, pain, mobility and physical capacity all influence one another.
For this reason, SAMON does not offer a generic health check. Instead, it provides a clinically guided assessment designed to identify significant risks, measure objective health indicators and develop a personalised intervention plan.
The aim is to help patients improve their health through medical follow-up, preventive care and practical tools that enable them to manage their health with greater autonomy.
