For Healthcare Professionals

HOW TO REFER A PATIENT

If any colleague wishes to refer a patient for HIPEC treatment, they can contact directly, either by phone or message, using the numbers for São Paulo or Curitiba.

These numbers can be used to send exams and images if the doctor wants to discuss the case directly with Dr. Andrea Petruzziello.

The contact will be returned promptly, and everything necessary for the patient will be organized by our team.
