OCEAN Clinic cares for patients who value time, privacy, attentive listening and organized follow-up. That is why the experience begins before the consultation: with clear information about how care works and what the possible next steps are.
The answers below help with common questions, but they do not replace an individual medical assessment. Courses of action, exams, procedures and follow-ups always depend on the analysis of each case.

questions
We've organized them by category. The answers are informational and do not replace an individual medical assessment.
Care and booking
Booking can be done through the website form or the clinic's WhatsApp. The team will get in touch to understand your initial need, present available times and advise on the best path to your first assessment.
No. OCEAN Clinic works by private care and appointment only. This model allows for a more organized experience, with greater privacy and less of an impersonal-flow feeling.
Not necessarily. The team can understand your initial need and advise on the most appropriate direction. In many cases, the first assessment serves precisely to organize symptoms, exams, history and priorities.
Yes. Patients from other cities can contact the team to understand availability, arrival guidance and options for organizing the schedule. Some stages may depend on an in-person assessment.
OCEAN Clinic is located at Av. Brigadeiro Faria Lima, 2000 — Itaim Bibi, São Paulo · SP. The full address and arrival instructions can be sent when your appointment is confirmed.
First consultation
The first consultation is an individual assessment, with clinical listening, review of medical history, analysis of available exams and an understanding of the patient's routine, symptoms, goals and priorities. From that reading, the medical team advises on the next steps.
Not always. In some cases, the physician may recommend initial courses of action. In others, it may be necessary to request exams, review information or carry out a new assessment before any decision. OCEAN Clinic does not work with automatic courses of action.
The time can vary according to the care line and the patient's needs. OCEAN Clinic's aim is to offer a consultation with adequate time for listening, investigation and clear guidance — generally between 45 and 90 minutes.
Whenever possible, bring recent exams, a list of medications you are taking, a history of previous treatments, your main complaints, questions and relevant information about routine, sleep, diet, symptoms and goals.
Yes. Old exams can help the physician understand progression, patterns and medical history. Even so, the need for new exams depends on the individual assessment.
Private care, insurance and reimbursement
OCEAN Clinic works on a private-care basis. If the patient has a health plan, the team can provide guidance on receipts and documents so they can check the possibility of reimbursement directly with their provider.
Yes, when applicable. The team can provide the necessary documents for the patient to request reimbursement from their health plan, according to the provider's own rules.
No. Reimbursement depends on the patient's contract with the provider, the plan's coverage and the insurer's internal rules. The clinic can provide documents, but does not guarantee approval or the reimbursement amount.
Private care allows for a more organized experience, with adequate consultation time, privacy, direct communication and greater control over the patient's journey.
Exams and follow-up
Yes, when there is a clinical indication. The need for exams depends on the individual assessment, the patient's history, symptoms, goals and information already available.
Not necessarily. The team can guide the patient on the recommended exams and, when needed, refer them to appropriate laboratories or services. This should be adjusted according to availability and clinical need.
When follow-up is indicated, exams can be reviewed at a return visit or according to the flow defined by the medical team. The goal is to interpret the results within the patient's context, not in isolation.
Follow-up may include return visits, exam reviews, adjustments to the course of action and integration with complementary professionals when needed. The frequency and format depend on the plan defined during the consultation.
The clinic can structure care or follow-up plans when indicated, but does not work with generic protocols. Each case must be assessed individually.
Care lines
OCEAN Clinic works with integrated medical assessment, longevity, prevention, hormonal health, executive check-up, performance, body composition, advanced medical aesthetics, clinical nutrition and continuous follow-up.
Yes. The executive check-up is aimed at patients with a demanding routine who want an objective, organized assessment of their health. The check-up's structure depends on the assessment and individual need.
Yes. Hormonal health can be assessed within the patient's clinical context, considering symptoms, exams, history, routine, sleep, energy, body composition and quality of life.
Yes. The longevity and prevention line aims to track relevant markers, risk factors, habits and health goals over time. The focus is assessment, guidance and responsible follow-up.
Yes, when indicated. The assessment may consider routine, exams, metabolism, energy, sleep, habits, diet and the patient's goals. Courses of action always depend on individual analysis.
Medical aesthetics
Yes, when professionally indicated. Medical aesthetics at OCEAN Clinic is conducted with individual assessment, planning, judgment and respect for the patient's safety.
The ideal is to start with an assessment. Aesthetic procedures depend on an in-person analysis, history, anatomy, expectations, contraindications and professional recommendation.
No. OCEAN Clinic does not work with promises or guarantees of results. Each body responds individually, and every recommendation must consider limits, risks, possibilities and safety.
OCEAN Clinic does not use before-and-after result images as a commercial promise. Should the clinic publish any image, it must strictly follow the ethical and legal standards applicable to medical advertising.
The recommendation depends on the individual assessment. The professional must consider anatomy, history, expectations, risks, contraindications and the patient's goals before recommending any procedure.
Privacy and experience
Yes. The clinic was designed for patients who value private care, a private setting, discreet communication and a more organized journey.
Privacy is built into appointment-based care, the private setting, careful communication and the organization of the journey. Health information is treated confidentially.
OCEAN Clinic upholds the responsibility of medical practice, but aims to offer a more private, organized and individualized experience. The focus is on time, method, clarity and continuity.
OCEAN Clinic does not replace urgent or emergency care. In acute, severe or immediately life-threatening situations, go to an emergency service or call the local emergency line (SAMU 192 in Brazil).
Safety, ethics and limits
No. The information on the site is informational and institutional in nature. Diagnoses, treatments, exams and procedures depend on an individual assessment by a qualified professional.
Because each patient has an individual history, body, context and response. Responsible medical communication should guide on possibilities and limits, not promise outcomes.
No. Each course of action depends on individual assessment, indication, risks, contraindications and goals. Not everything that can be done is necessarily advisable.
Care is provided by qualified professionals, with registrations listed on the medical-team profiles. Physicians must present CRM and RQE when applicable, and professionals from other fields must present their respective registrations.
The team can advise on the best path before booking.
