Health Partnerships in Lisbon

Partnerships that enhance your care — from diagnosis to recovery.

I work with a network of healthcare professionals and institutions to ensure continuity of care, timely access, and well-informed decisions — always focused on the patient’s needs.

What do you gain from this partner network?

  • Continuity of care: fewer “handoffs” between services, more coordination.

  • Faster scheduling and results when you need exams or specialist support.

  • The right referral at the right time: the most appropriate intervention for each case.

  • Full transparency: I recommend what makes clinical sense — not based on hidden commissions.

  • A premium, human experience: clarity, confidence, and measurable progress.

Physiotherapy in Partner Pharmacies (Lisbon)

At two partner pharmacies, I provide physiotherapy sessions in their clinic room — an accessible, practical clinical setting that fits easily into your routine. It’s ideal if you prefer a fixed, comfortable location without compromising technical quality.

Benefits:

  • Convenient location and a familiar environment.

  • Well-organized scheduling and consistent follow-up.

  • Ideal for regular rehabilitation plans

Medical consultation with Dr. João Nuno Rossa

Dr. Joao Nuno Rossa

When your case calls for additional medical input — especially in a sports context, return to exercise, persistent pain, or general and family medicine — this partnership enables faster, well-coordinated care aligned with your rehabilitation plan.

Benefits:

  • Safer decision-making with both a medical and functional perspective.

  • Better management of training load, symptoms, and return to sport.

  • Coordination around clear goals (e.g., returning to running, reducing pain, improving performance).

  • A physiotherapy prescription to support reimbursement through your health insurance.

  • Teleconsultation (no need to travel).

Clinical collaboration with physiotherapist Inês Mendes

We work collaboratively and refer patients to each other whenever it benefits the patient. When needed, we coordinate between our teams to ensure each case receives the most appropriate type of intervention — with continuity, consistency, and full respect for the rehabilitation process.

Benefits:

  • A timely second clinical opinion.

  • Continuity in your rehabilitation plan, without “starting from scratch”.

  • A support network for complex or highly specific cases.

Magnus Clinic (Ultrasound & MRI)

Magnus - Imagens Médicas Portugal

When your clinical process benefits from imaging confirmation — such as an ultrasound or an MRI — this partnership makes it easier to book quickly and receive results efficiently, so your treatment plan can move forward without unnecessary delays.

Benefits for patients, family members, and friends:

  • Easy and fast appointment booking (within 24 to 48 hours)

.

  • Results delivery: ultrasound within 24 hours and MRI within up to 96 hours.

  • Insurance accepted: the clinic accepts the vast majority of national and international insurance plans. It also sees patients without insurance.

​​

  • Less time in “waiting mode,” more time recovering.

Carcavelos Hearing Center

Hearing influences balance, safety, social participation, and overall quality of life — especially in older adults. When I identify signs that warrant a hearing assessment, I can recommend this partner for in-home screening and guidance, with a 10% discount on the purchase of hearing aids.

Benefits:

  • In-home hearing assessment with specialist guidance.

  • 10% discount on the purchase (subject to the partner’s terms and conditions).

  • Better support for everyday independence and safety.

Note: The discount is a benefit for the patient; recommendations are always clinically driven.

Transparency: the patient always comes first

Partnerships exist to improve care and ensure continuity. Referrals are made in the patient’s best interests — never for personal gain. Whenever a discount is available, it is clearly presented as a benefit to you. I always maintain confidentiality and respect your data and choices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1) Do you offer physiotherapy in a clinic setting in Lisbon?

Yes, besides home visits, I also provide sessions in clinic rooms at partner pharmacies (subject to availability).

2) How do I know whether I need sports medicine or physiotherapy?

In many cases, physiotherapy resolves the issue through a thorough assessment and a well-structured plan. When medical input is needed (e.g., return to sport, persistent symptoms, overall health management), I can refer you to a partner medical consultation.

3) How do discounts for exams and hearing aids work?

When applicable, I’ll explain the partner’s terms and what is included. Recommendations are always clinically driven and transparent.

4) Am I required to use your partners?

No. You’re free to choose any provider. These partnerships are designed to improve access and coordination — not to limit your options.

5) Are my details shared with partners?

Only with your consent, and only the minimum necessary to ensure continuity of care — always respecting confidentiality.
