😠 I would stay away from Dr. Ana Cristina Cunha! My experience and that of my wife at the Júlio Dinis Maternity Hospital was terrible, almost exclusively due to who I consider incompetent and inconsiderable - Dr. Ana Cristina Cunha. After my wife had a terribly botched second trimester ultrasound done... People often mention doctor, Cunha, para, Cristina, wife, trimester, ultrasound, private, espera, maior,

    I would stay away from Dr. Ana Cristina Cunha! My experience and that of my wife at the Júlio Dinis Maternity Hospital was terrible, almost exclusively due to who I consider incompetent and inconsiderable - Dr. Ana Cristina Cunha. After my wife had a terribly botched second trimester ultrasound done by a doctor at the internship (it took 4x longer than at the private school), the doctor appeared and said, with the greatest of coldness, that there was a growth in both kidneys that could mean trisomy. 21. Naturally, my wife was shocked and nervous, asking - "What do you mean? In the combined 1st trimester screening, and in the 2nd trimester ultrasound that I had already done in private, there was no evidence whatsoever!" - to which the doctor replied - "I'm not talking to you like that, calm down and we'll talk in 30 minutes". An absurd lack of empathy. When we returned to the office, he came in to say that he was doing us a favor and that he didn't understand my wife's agitation - does she think that pregnant women are calm when they spill news like that without any calm explanation? Then he started giving a sermon, saying that he didn't understand why we were followed in private too (thank God we went to demystify this incompetence) and saying that the solution to be sure was to do an amniocentesis, which carries a huge risk for the baby. The rudeness and coldness that this woman showed towards us was inhumane. Then we went to the private sector to clarify all this, and we decided to do a DNA blood test (without risk for the baby) which did not show any signs of trisomy. Furthermore, they explained to us that the symptom that Dr. Ana Cristina Cunha talked about has not even been considered an indication/marker for more than 10 years. This only proves that in my opinion this doctor is incompetent, a horrible human being and full of frustration. If I had to guess, she is single and has no children. I would stay away from Dr. Ana Cristina Cunha! The experience at Maternidade Júlio Dinis was absolutely horrible, almost entirely due to the incompetent and inconsiderable Dr. Ana Cristina Cunha. After my wife had an awful experience with the 2nd trimester ultrasound, which was carried out by an intern and not a doctor, Doctor Ana Cristina Cunha said there was a growth in both kidneys that could mean Trisomy 21/Down Syndrome. My wife naturally got agitated, and the Dr. said "I can't speak with you like this, go calm down and we'll speak in 30 minutes". When we both got into the office, she started scolding my wife and got angry because we were being looked after in a private hospital too (our blessing). The stupid part is that at the end of the 1st semester, we did a blood+ultrasound check to outline any possibilities and everything was good. We ended up checking back with the private hospital, and did a DNA blood test, and everything was good. This had all been a false alarm, and what Dr. Ana Cunha was advising was an amniocentesis, which has a huge risk for the baby. In my opinion, this doctor is absolutely incompetent, and a horrible human being. To me she has no empathy, no humbleness and is full of frustration. I'd guess she's single and has never had kids.

    Staff there are all very professional and friendly. We cannot speak Portuguese and do not live in Portugal but they guided and helped us each step of the way. Cannot be thankful enough for their kindness and care.

    I would like to express my gratitude for the treatment provided by Dr Maria José Mendes, who performed my 3rd trimester ultrasound. She clarified all doubts, was very polite and was always willing to help. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Mariana Simões who is accompanying me to the consultations. Excellent and super professional. I feel very comfortable and at peace with her. I had a bad experience with the obstetrician before Dr. Mariana at CMIN itself. In which the doctor was super rude and xenophobic in my first consultation, asking if she needed to speak in English to me because she asked for such tests and I didn't know what they were due to the fact, of course, that it was my first child and also that it was a new world for me. Despite this, I am happy with these incredible professionals who have empathy with us pregnant women who need all the attention and affection at this stage of life.

    Terrible first trimester ultrasound experience!!! Broken equipment, lack of dialogue from the doctor, I barely even heard my son's heartbeat and I saw 2 seconds of images because the monitor on the wall didn't work. When I raised my head a little to try to see the doctor's monitor, she was super arrogant and told me to lower my head, I think all mothers have the right to see their child! I am seriously considering giving birth in another hospital.

    (Translated by Google) It is a little shame a person is almost an hour waiting to answer ... They answer the wait and never say nda until the call goes down ... It is a lack of respect .... (Original) É uma pouca vergonha uma pessoa está quase a uma hora a espera para atenderem ... Atendem mandam esperar e nunca mais dizem nda até a chamada ir a baixo ... É uma falta de respeito....

    Inadmissível o tempo de espera para nada. A minha esposa esperou 3 horas para apenas passar de sala em sala, passar 3 vezes na recepção para continuar a espera de ser atendida por um médico. Foi preciso sermos nós a procurar saber o que se passa. E depois parece ser muito desorganizado. Agora entendo pq fogem para o privado.

    I've been trying to contact the maternity ward for over a week. I need to know something and I don't live in Porto, so it's not easy for me to get around. They see me at Sto António and send me to the maternity ward, which they never see. I am currently on hold for 40 minutes Update- I was on hold for 3 and a half hours and they didn't answer me.

    Waiting time for appointments is completely disgraceful! Especially Obstetrics consultations! There's no point in coming earlier, we leave here one/two hours later, and with luck! Horrible! We wait and despair!

    Second child in the maternity ward, assistants, nurses, doctors and 5-star facilities. Baby registration service very terrible, opens at 2pm, caters for 5 people, there is no space for anyone else. giving priority to foreigners, the ones I saw, "illegal in the country".

    Tive duas maravilhosas filhas em momentos muito distintos com diferença de 9 anos e o atendimento, o pessoal de saúde foram atenciosos, meigos. Falavam já muito mal sobre esta instituição quer em relação à alimentação quer a nível da qualidade de acompanhamento mas eu fui uma sortuda.
