What international patients say

"Highly recommended! While passing through, I spontaneously contacted Björn Dreisbach via his website. Scheduling an appointment for the next day (a Sunday) was quick and easy. He took his time, listened to my story, examined me, and thoroughly considered various options to determine the best therapy for me. (…) Highly competent, empathetic, transparent, and genuinely interested in the success of his patients' healing."

Nico Heyer Traveler — Google review ★★★★★

"During my stay in Brazil, I received outstanding medical care from Dr. Dreisbach. He was highly professional, kind, and took the time to explain everything clearly. His expertise and calm manner made me feel safe and well cared for, especially while being far from home. I am very grateful for his help and can highly recommend him."

Frank Manhart Visitor to Brazil — Google review ★★★★★

"I'm an expat and needed a doctor in Brazil that was more familiar with the Dutch way of a family doctor and not 20 different specialists at a first aid post, when a friend recommended Dr Björn! Since then he has helped me several times in English via telemedicine! Having the prescriptions available online for other Brazilian states is such a blessing!"

Jacob van den Berg Expat in Brazil — Google review ★★★★★

"Dr. Björn Dreisbach has been essential in my health journey as an expat in Brazil. He truly listens, explains everything clearly, and follows up with genuine care. His holistic view and multilingual skills made me feel safe and understood. I'm grateful for his dedication and recommend him to anyone looking for trusted medical care, especially those far from home."

Frequently asked questions

Can I see an English-speaking doctor online from anywhere in Brazil?

Yes. Consultations are held by secure video call, so you can be seen from your hotel, rental or anywhere in Brazil — Rio, São Paulo, the beach or the Amazon. All you need is an internet connection.

Do I need a Brazilian CPF to book?

No. You can book and pay with an international credit card, and your passport number is enough for your prescription or medical certificate.

Are the prescriptions and certificates valid throughout Brazil?

Yes. All medical documentation, certificates and referrals are issued in accordance with Brazilian law and are valid nationwide — recognized by pharmacies, laboratories and healthcare institutions. They are issued only when clinically appropriate, after a live video evaluation.

How fast can I be seen?

Same-day appointments are usually available. Book a time slot online and get instant confirmation, or message us on WhatsApp — average reply time is around 30 minutes during business hours.

Do you provide receipts for my travel or health insurance?

Yes. Consultations are provided on a private basis, and you receive an official invoice in English, German or Portuguese — ideal for travel or health insurance claims, reimbursements and international documentation.

How does the video consultation work?

After booking you receive a secure video link by e-mail or WhatsApp. At your appointment time, join the call from your phone or laptop. Dr. Björn evaluates you personally, explains everything in your language, and sends any documents digitally afterwards.

What if I actually need in-person or emergency care?

Dr. Björn will tell you honestly during the consultation and guide you to the right service. This is not an emergency service — in a medical emergency in Brazil, call 192 (SAMU) immediately.
