Dr. João Patrocínio
Dermatology combines science, observation and experience. It is this approach that guides each consultation, seeking to understand each case in its entirety and define a rigorous diagnosis, followed by a personalized treatment plan based on the best available scientific evidence.
The consultation is oriented to identify the problem, establish a diagnosis and define a clear and feasible treatment plan. Whenever necessary, dermoscopy, clinical photography, biopsy or other procedures are used to speed up the diagnosis and avoid prolonged empirical treatments.
The goal is to offer a rigorous, practical approach adapted to each case, with clear explanations and adequate follow-up.
A path built with dedication and continuous training.
