😠 CHARLATAN! I went to Dr. Pinto Coelho because my father has a tumor and we needed his help with the food plan, according to the analysis. He began the consultation by ordering us to take off the mask, claiming that he was completely immune to all viruses. He continued to talk about him and his book...

    CHARLATAN! I went to Dr. Pinto Coelho because my father has a tumor and we needed his help with the food plan, according to the analysis. He began the consultation by ordering us to take off the mask, claiming that he was completely immune to all viruses. He continued to talk about him and his book and his professional success, without asking what brought us there. After about 10 minutes of this egocentric monologue we interrupted to explain the reason that led us there. We talked about our father's tumor, to which the Dr. paid no attention, interrupting to answer the phone to "a great friend", with whom he was on the phone without shame or attention for us, waiting for him. After several attempts by us to try to find out the type of food recommended for our father, he said that it wasn't up to him, it was with another doctor, with whom he immediately made an appointment without asking us (remember that he charged us €140 for not can help us). We asked questions about food again, we received completely contradictory information about food, information that would be, according to the doctor, "fundamental". At no point did he ask to see our father's exams or understand what he had, giving us a paper already written with various supplements that we had to buy at the clinic. Not dietary changes, but supplements sold by you. When we asked a specific question we heard the answer "that's in my book", but he didn't explain it to us, he just directed us to other people on his team who could help with the food. This doctor didn't help at any point, he just sent us to his book and other people on the team, which we would pay in addition to his €140 which didn't bring us a single answer! Our insurance requests a specific report for this doctor and not for the others, probably for some reason.

    From December 2017 until May 2019 I was a patient of Dr Andreia Almeida and I am writing to you to reveal my displeasure and complain about the services provided by her. Throughout this period, I carried out the requested tests and analyses, following the treatment prescribed by the Doctor. Until then, I did not obtain any desired results. My problem was not resolved and, at the last consultation, the Doctor revealed that she no longer had any alternative treatment and recommended that I be followed by an endocrinologist of my choice, without any direction or suggestions. Recently, I received an email from Dr Andreia's Clinic, not from herself, where I learned that the Dr had stopped carrying out consultations at Clínica Pinto Coelho. If I wanted to continue being followed by her, I would pay an absurd amount compared to what was asked at your Clinic. To date, I have not received any email from you providing a single piece of information or presenting a solution or alternative to the Doctor leaving the Clinic. Currently, when being consulted by a doctor (anti-aging and functional medicine) and when showing my clinical history and based on the same analyses, pathologies that had never been mentioned or warned about by Dr Andreia were revealed to me. In the first analyses, certain values ​​were not quite right, the Doctor did not mention them and, devaluing them, she did not ask again in any of the analyzes she asked me to carry out. The treatments I underwent for a year and a half were not cheap at all, however, I was willing to pay because I believed that I would be investing in my health and well-being. It is completely regrettable for all the time I wasted in your Clinic and to leave in the same way I entered, with the same problem and no solution. I think I at least deserve an explanation. I sent an email in August last year to which I have not received any response to date.

    I was looking for a functional medicine doctor that could prescribe the natural thyroid hormone (desiccated thyroid extract), and I’ve been a client of this place for several months now. Since the clinic is located in Lisbon and I’ve been staying in Algarve, I’ve had a couple online calls with doctor Pedro V. He is super lovely, caring and speaks well English. The calls run smoothly over Zoom. Pedro listens to my needs and desires and the prescription of medication is fast and hassle-free. This clinic doesn’t get 5 stars because: - most of the receptionists answering calls don’t speak English (some have even hang up the phone and cannot even say ”call us back at X hour” in English without google translate) - it takes ages to sort things out (maybe it’s Portugal in general)

    In response to your response: even though the appointment was made outside the context of the consultation, I was told that they would reschedule and contact me back. Contrary to what you claim, I don't have any contact from you registered on my cell phone, whatsoever and I usually return all unanswered calls........ Lack of professionalism and attention to people. I had a meeting scheduled with Dr. Manuel on a certain day at 1pm, which I attended on schedule. When I arrived I was informed that the Doctor had been absent because he "forgot"/was not reminded of the meeting. They asked me if I would accept waiting 45 minutes or if I would prefer to reschedule and they would contact me. I preferred to reschedule as I was full of work that day. I waited and after almost 15 days I was never contacted again. I think above all there is a lack of professionalism on the part of the assistants and respect for people. As a public figure, I made a point of sharing what happened on my social networks. A disappointment.

    Whether you like the style or not, a good doctor is one who makes a good diagnosis, appropriate treatment, knows how to give proper advice and is available to listen to the patient, as well as clearly explaining the topics he covers. Unhappy with the analysis of two "doctors" in a private hospital - who simply read my analyzes and checked that everything was within the reference values ​​- I decided to turn to Doctor Manuel Pinto Coelho who diagnosed me with a hormonal imbalance. This time, instead of the advice: “Take it easy, don't worry, things will fall into place over time”, I received the appropriate treatment for my problem. After two months, I am back to being the person I was and I genuinely thank Doctor MPC.

    Consultation with Dr Pedro Vasconcelos at the Doutor Pinto Coelho clinic. The consultation is based on a unidirectional relationship between the doctor and the client. There is no collection of clinical history, and in this way, everyone who has the label of a person with an autoimmune disease all receives the same treatment regardless of all the factors that may affect and condition the disease, or strategies that are already being used. , such as changes in diet, lifestyle, and supplementation. I listened to everything again, including what was already practical without being asked. I was told several times, this is what we do here in the clinic with patients with autoimmune disease. Furthermore, in responding to the complaint made, I received a response from the same doctor with whom I had the consultation (I imagine that there is no procedure within the team to analyze complaints, which makes me think that they are not valued or analyzed). In the response I received, I was told that they regret my perception of the consultation. In order for my perception to be changed, I invited him to share with me data that he collected during the consultation, and how, of course, this did not happen, because the doctor simply knows nothing about me, my health and my illness. The clinic says that it promotes care that "aims to answer all your [my] questions, in a personalized and careful way, in order to return privileged levels of well-being, harmony and health to all who seek us". I want you to know that this is NOT what you will receive when you go to an appointment at this clinic.

    My name is Carlos Reis, I am 72 years old. In November 2018 (8 months ago) I had my first consultation with Dr Pinto Coelho, and my clinical condition was as follows: He weighed 80 kg and was 1.70 m tall; I had type 2 diabetes for more than 4 years; I took statins to "combat" cholesterol and triglycerides for over 10 years; I had been taking anti-depressants since my son's death in 2001 (so approximately 18 years), having tried twice, unsuccessfully, to stop taking these anti-depressants; As a consequence I also had problems with my libido; I didn't have the slightest desire or motivation to do physical exercise or sports, as I quickly became tired and unmotivated; On November 15th, on instructions from Dr Pinto Coelho, I started an initial treatment to reduce obesity, with HCG, for approximately 3 weeks, and from then on, a treatment based on appropriate food, and a series of vitamins, some adequate hormones, and follow-up, by the Dr himself, weekly. After 6 months, and to date (August 8, 2019, or 8 months) my situation is as follows: -I no longer have Type 2 Diabetes for at least 4 months; -I definitely stopped taking statins, and my cholesterol and triglycerides have never been better; -I stopped taking anti-depressants at least 5 months ago, and I don't miss them at all; -My current weight is 64 kg, that is, I lost in 6 months and to date 16 kg; -Regarding physical fitness, I do Pilates twice a week, strenuous exercises with weights, 5 times a week, sit-ups practically every day, and the most impressive thing is that my Visceral fat, which reached 18%, now is 6%; -Regarding physical measurements, I measured 110 cm in the belly region, and now I measure 80 cm, that is, I lost 30 cm in the perimeter of this area. Therefore, I would like to add that I studied Medicine, until the 3rd year, at the Faculty of Medicine of Lisbon, and then followed other paths, both in Portugal and in Brazil, where I lived for 14 years. I tried diets and other treatments to try to stay in shape, and I was never able to get great results, and those that I did get, quickly disappeared, and everything went back to the same. Therefore, it is based on my long experience that I come to make this statement, which makes me very proud, and makes my self-esteem reach levels that I thought I could no longer reach. I can only confirm that Dr Manuel Pinto Coelho is a TRUE, and EFFECTIVE, doctor who does everything to help his patients, unlike the vast majority of doctors who, in addition to knowing little about TRUE medicine, only know how to prescribe Remedies, which as A famous doctor says, they just REMEDY, and leave us in the hands of the pharmaceutical industries for the rest of our lives, without ever actually curing us. THANK YOU VERY MUCH Dr Manuel Pinto Coelho. WELL HAJA!!

    In 2004 I was diagnosed with Diabetes. I started by taking traditional oral medication in low doses that were progressively increased until they reached the maximum that the doctor could prescribe for this type of medication. I then started injecting myself with insulin twice a day. Blood glucose levels always remained high (between 180 and 300 on an empty stomach) despite all this medication, consisting of two types of pills and 80 IU of insulin daily. On May 12, 2017, I went to a consultation at Dr. Pinto Coelho's clinic, not with him but with one of his collaborators. I was prescribed several products that I purchased from a compounding pharmacy. About two weeks after starting this treatment, fasting insulin was 90 one day and 70 the next day. I stopped injecting myself in the morning. A week later the levels were stabilized (I check daily) at around 110/120. I left the second insulin injection. After about two months I went to the family doctor who, in the presence of the tests, reduced one of the medications he prescribed by 30 mg daily. On 10/24 I had blood tests reading 50 parameters. The main indicator of diabetes which I think is glycated hemoglobin is in the "diabetes mellitus risk" zone. Now, I have been diabetic for almost 14 years. I was already way above the risk zone. Furthermore, no indicators outside the reference values. And I'm 58 years old. I dare to say from my experience that I would NEVER achieve these results with medicine practiced in the family health unit. SO IT IS BECAUSE OF ACHIEVING THESE RESULTS THAT DR. IS PINTO COELHO CONSIDERED A CHARLATAN? I write from experience. And today I think that the best decision I made recently was to go to Dr. Pinto Coelho's clinic.

    Hello, I'm going to tell you a brief story about my grandmother's experience, which was radically transformed, for the better, since she went to Doctor Manuel Pinto Coelho's Clinic. My grandmother, in her seventies, has been stuffed with pills for a thousand and one "problems" for as long as I can remember. Over the years these have multiplied to the point that these once "problems" have become real problems. From "chronic" urinary tract infections to extreme fatigue, numb legs and more... He turned to countless private doctors and others to see if there was a solution to these problems, but the answer was always the same, tests and pills. But his health only worsened. And his hope of getting better only diminished. But then everything changed when I managed to convince her, already in despair, to go to Doctor Manuel Pinto Coelho. Well, to summarize the experience, I can use your own words after 3-4 months. "I feel like I'm 50 years old" And those who live with her noticed that she was surprisingly better: Lots of energy, no urinary infections, less numb legs, among others. I had finally recovered the quality of life that I had so longed for. Finally, I would like to thank all the professionals at the Doctor Manuel Pinto Coelho Clinic for their enormous commitment and friendliness, and of course, a special greeting to Doctor Manuel Pinto Coelho who accompanied my grandmother from the beginning. Thanks.
