"I am known for my ability to question. During my medical residency in anesthesiology, I questioned and recognized the inability of conventional medicine to reach the true origin of chronic disease, its lack of an active role in prevention, and its failure to integrate the human being as a whole (mind-body-spirit). I am an advocate of health-based medicine, passionate about life and living a healthy lifestyle.”

Mariana Nabais

Doctor at Clínica Pêro

Dr. Mariana is a physician, graduated from Charles University of Prague. Her approach to medicine is not limited to treating diseases, but rather understanding the person as a whole. She believes that health results from the balance between body and mind, and that each patient should be treated in a unique way, considering their life context, habits, and individual needs.

For her, effective medical practice requires time, attentive listening, and an integrative approach. Her work involves guiding and accompanying each patient in building a personalized care plan, which includes changes in daily life that lead to optimizing their health.

Raphael Sirtoli

Scientific Director of Clínica Pêro

Raphael has always been a curious person, with varied interests and a commitment to understanding how we can all live better and healthier lives. He studied molecular biology and health sciences and is a scientist in the field of evolutionary biology, publishing studies in this area.

Raphael has a vast knowledge of the history of science and medicine and has learned a lot from reading about success stories, but even more from reading about failures in the field. It was then that he realized that there is a lot of outdated, confusing information with little data to make decisions that often become medical and nutritional guidelines. The lesson he learned from studying so many successes and failures was that doing no harm is the most correct and humble attitude that all health professionals should adopt.

"The close collaboration between doctors, scientists and patients at Clínica Pêro makes it unique among medical clinics. I like that very much. Not only is it good for patient care, but it's also rewarding for our scientific team."
