Em agosto de 2022, após mais de 30 anos, mudamos de endereço e começamos a atender na Praia do Flamengo. Um espaço mais amplo, mais confortável e com uma vista incrível para nossos pacientes apreciarem enquanto aguardam a consulta.
Continuamos com os atendimentos com horário marcado e contando com especialistas em quadril, joelho, pé e tornozelo, ombro e cotovelo, além do nosso setor de reabilitação e Pilates, que agora têm um espaço de atuação amplo e pronto para recebê-los com a melhor qualidade.
