I had my surgery with him on April, he mentioned that he only do 100 patients per year. I can imagine the waiting list is quite long

I'm not too sure what his waiting list is at the moment, I waited about 7 months or so, but he may have some cancellations. I booked back in April/May time I think, and I was offered a couple of slots in June that had just opened up due to people cancelling, but I couldn't make it and the next available time was the end of the year (which I took instead). 

When I initially e-mailed, I did get a reply back saying: "Unfortunately, due to the high volume of requests we have been experiencing, we are not providing online treatment quotes until further notice. However, you can schedule a face to face appointment with Dr. Bruno Pinto here at our O'Porto Clinic. At the moment, we are only scheduling consultation appointments from January 2022 forward. If you would like to book an appointment, you can do so by replying to this email."

I replied back explaining I was in the UK and couldn't just set up a face to face appointment and that I was very interested in going ahead with Dr. Pinto. From here I began speaking to the patient advisor, Emilio, who asked for more pictures, videos of my donor, more details of use of meds, family history etc and was told that Dr. Pinto will personally review my case and decide whether or not I am suitable for surgery (due to my age). Once he gave me the go-ahead, I was offered the dates as I wrote above, but I may have been a bit lucky and most might generally have to wait a little longer. 

Not sure if they're still not offering online consultations at the moment, but I would just get in touch with Emilio on WhatsApp or e-mail the clinic If I was you, he's a very helpful guy and will assist you.

 

Thanks! I was in touch with Emilio and i just booked the surgery for June 2022. Wish me luck 

Thank you for posting 🙂 I'm considering between Freitas and Pinto. How long is his waiting list?
