26 March 2026Friendly service, great receptionists, efficient doctors and the best nurse. Managed to get appointment within 30 minutes of pitching up. If you get sick in Portugal on a foreign trip, this is THE best place to go.

17 April 2026I was lucky enough to find Alegria Medical Centre when I acquired a debilitating cough that threatened to trigger my decades long back problem. The Intake Personnel were pleasant and had patience communicating with me after I ran out of the apartment forgetting my hearing aids. Dr. Maria Hatton has the experience and intelligence to give me the benefit of a doubt based on my experience in how I needed to avoid what would have become a hard to treat back issue. In preparing to write this review I learned how keenly her values align with mine as a Chef with a Science background who believes everything about my health begins with the food I eat, the exercise I do and the activity level I maintain. I have some days to go but I can now get the rest I badly need in a way that won’t aggravate my back. As I prepare to make Portugal my second home I can now add Alegria Medical Centre and Dr. Hatton to my team of trusted professionals who I know will have my back when I need help.
