Book an appointment

Send my studies first

If you are not sure this treatment is suitable for your case, you can send your ultrasound or biopsy on WhatsApp, or leave your details and we write to you, in English. The preliminary review is free of charge.

Send my studies

What happens after you book.

Before the consultation

You can send your ultrasound, your biopsy if you have one and your labs. If you have no studies yet, the consultation begins with them.

At the consultation

By video call, or in person at any of the three centers. Most often you leave knowing what you have and which options are suitable for your case.

With the plan defined

You decide calmly. If there is a procedure, with the cost in writing. And if nothing needs to be done, we tell you that too.
