Telehealth
Online appointments in Portuguese for patients anywhere in Brazil and for Brazilians living abroad. Dr. Katia Lopes is a physician registered in Brazil (CRM).
Telehealth appointments take place on Doctoralia, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet, in a secure environment. After booking, you receive the link and instructions for joining.
The appointment offers the same care as an in-person visit: in-depth listening, review of test results and a personalized care plan.
Brazilians living abroad can keep up ongoing care in Portuguese, with someone who knows their history. Appointment times are arranged around your time zone.
Telemedicine follows the rules of Brazil's Federal Council of Medicine (CFM Resolution No. 2,314/2022). When a physical exam is needed, this will be discussed with you, and an in-person visit or local assessment may be recommended.
Telehealth requires your consent and is recorded in your medical record. If you are outside Brazil, the consultation follows Brazilian rules; prescriptions and test orders may not be accepted in the country where you are.
Telehealth is not suitable for urgent care. In an emergency, go to the nearest health service.
Book an in-person appointment in São Paulo or Santos, or a telehealth appointment from wherever you are.
