About Me
Dra. Marcela Pizarro Endocrinologist
CRM 929131 RJ | RQE 36357 | OM 75510
I am an endocrinologist, graduated from the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), where I also completed my medical residency in Clinical Medicine and Endocrinology. In 2019, I completed my PhD in Endocrinology, with a focus on diabetes, and since 2021 I have been living in Portugal, where I had my diploma and medical specialty validated.
My approach is patient-centered, prioritizing active listening, welcoming and individualized monitoring.
I work with empathy, sensitivity and commitment to the health and well-being of each patient.
I also had the opportunity to work with patients of different nationalities, which contributed to a medical practice that was more sensitive to cultural differences and individual needs.
I offer quality monitoring, based on scientific evidence and a relationship of trust with the patient.
