What TejoMed members say about Moving to Portugal

When we moved to Portugal healthcare was a big concern for us. I’m a heart attack survivor and my husband also has conditions that require monitoring. We found TejoMed to be remarkable! It is essentially identical to concierge medicine experience I had in the USA. That is a huge comfort for us! We truly have a partner in prevention and maintenance as well as someone to help us navigate Portugal’s healthcare systems. Dr. Ares Haiwatha Rigas is great and Nurse Jo is a ROCK STAR!

My first appointment with TejoMed was such an amazing experience!! Luísa was so thorough. It made such a huge difference to be listened to, believed, taken seriously, and provided comprehensive solutions. For the first time maybe ever I feel excited about my future health treatments and outcomes. Many thanks to Luísa for being so warm, kind, and fun. As strange as it feels to say this after years of poor experiences in the medical industry back in America, I’m actually looking forward to my health journey with TejoMed.

Dr. Luisa Batista is bright, empathetic and precise. For English speakers she's terrific as well. I sought her out for hormone related questions and she's been a wealth of knowledge. I'm excited to have her in my corner.

I spent 20+ years as a patient within the MDVIP concierge program in the US. Given that I lived in Boston, one of the best cities in the world for healthcare, I had a very high bar against which to compare. It turns out that TejoMed has tapped into MDVIP's expertise as well with one of their advisors. To date, I have found the staff to be extremely professional, friendly, and responsive, and I am very pleased with Dr. Ares Hiawatha Rigas.

Wonderful experience! I've had personal functional health doctors in the United States and TejoMed seems to equal or exceed my previous experiences at a fraction of the price. So nice to have a one-stop shop for all of my health needs. Navigating a medical system in Portuguese isn't always easy...this makes it easy.

I just moved to Portugal 2 months ago and had my first appointment with Dr. Luísa Batista. She is a gem! Along with the rest of the team at TejoMed. The communication is solid and I feel taken care of, which is the best feeling.

I completed my first meeting at TejoMed with Dr. Batista and wow! I am so thrilled I found them. She spent 90 minutes with me going through my history and current experience. We are running all the tests I was hoping to run (the ones I am used to running with my former Functional doctor in the US) and I feel really confident and happy she will help me get to the bottom of what I am currently experiencing. Can't recommend this company enough!

Dr. Luisa is, hands down, the most knowledgeable, personable, and compassionate medical professional I've ever had the distinct honor of meeting and seeking care from. I am, admittedly, an American and cancer survivor who has had to 'prove' medical needs to my doctors, often with months and years passing before finding someone who would listen, and even then, with no explanation for the why behind the treatment plans they would recommend. I'm so glad I found her; as long as she offers care, I'll be seeing her!

TejoMed and Dr. Batista are all I could have hoped for in transitioning to Portugal from the U.S. for my medical care. I have received excellent, informative, insightful, accessible, one-on-one attention and clear explanations to both my health, and how the health care system works, including insurance. Dr. Batista and TejoMed are exactly what my wife and I wanted and have found.

Je suis chez TejoMed depuis un an, et honnêtement, ça m’a beaucoup aidé. Les médecins sont vraiment réactifs : chaque fois que j’ai eu une question ou un souci, j’ai eu une réponse rapidement, sans stress. On sent qu’ils suivent vraiment les patients, qu’ils connaissent nos situations et qu’ils prennent le temps.

L’accompagnement est sérieux mais aussi très humain, ce qui est rare. Pour moi, vivre à Lisbonne et savoir que je peux compter sur eux, c’est devenu important.

Je recommande vraiment TejoMed à ceux qui cherchent un suivi médical fiable et accessible, avec des médecins qui prennent leur rôle à cœur.

Very knowledgeable doctor, professional, no time pressure when going through all required info, no waiting time, perfect English also. Can recommend.
