Approach and Philosophy

I believe in humane, progressive and scientifically based medicine. I consider obesity and metabolic diseases to be chronic, multifactorial pathologies that require much more than restrictions; they require education, empathy and constant monitoring. My goal in every consultation is to promote the patient's active involvement in their own process of change, setting realistic goals to achieve sustainable long-term results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Dr Luís perform bariatric surgery at Multiclínica?

No. Although Dr Luís has extensive international experience as a bariatric surgeon, his current practice at Multiclínica focuses exclusively on the medical, clinical and preventive treatment of obesity and metabolic monitoring.
What should I bring to my first Weight Management appointment?

For a more thorough assessment, we recommend that you bring recent clinical analyses (if you have them), a list of your usual medication and records of previous treatments. This will allow Dr Luís to draw up an immediate action plan.
How does the treatment of chronic wounds work?

Treatment begins with an assessment of the cause of the wound (e.g. circulation or diabetes). Dr Luís carries out medical debridement if necessary and guides the nursing team to apply advanced dressings, maintaining continuous monitoring until the wound heals.
