About My Brazilian Doctor
Our Mission & Clinical Purpose
My Brazilian Doctor is a Brazil-focused telemedicine service founded by Dr. Fábio Luiz Vieira, a licensed Family Physician with over two decades of clinical experience and international healthcare exposure in Brazil and the United Kingdom. The service was created to support foreigners, expatriates, and international travelers who require reliable, English-speaking medical care while in Brazil.
A Licensed Telemedicine Service Operating Under Brazilian Medical Law
All medical services are delivered exclusively under Brazilian medical registration and in full compliance with Brazilian healthcare regulations. Consultations are conducted directly by a fully licensed physician, and digital prescriptions issued through the platform are legally valid and accepted at pharmacies throughout Brazil. Clinical decision-making, prescriptions, and patient care remain strictly governed by Brazilian medical law and professional standards.
Telemedicine was officially regulated in Brazil since 2020 and can be used independently of where you are in Brazil with all communication and support in English which is crucial for a safe diagnostic and treatment.
My Brazilian Doctor operates with medical coverage across Brazil and works in coordination with local healthcare resources when necessary, including accredited laboratories, pharmacies, imaging centers, and public health services. When in-person evaluation, diagnostic testing, or specialist referral is required, patients receive clear guidance on how to access appropriate local services efficiently and safely.
International Structure
To support operational governance, digital development, and telehealth innovation, My Brazilian Doctor also maintains a registered company in the United Kingdom (Companies House No. 17021375). This UK entity provides administrative structure, technology development support, and international operational oversight. It does not provide medical services. All clinical care remains delivered in Brazil under Brazilian medical licensure.
Innovation, Mentorship & Institutional Support
The company has additionally received mentoring support through Imperial Enterprise Lab, part of the innovation ecosystem of Imperial College London, benefiting from guidance by experienced professionals in healthcare, technology, and digital health strategy. This support reinforces our commitment to responsible telehealth development aligned with international best practices.
Transparency & Organizational Presence
My Brazilian Doctor maintains a verified Google Business Profile and verifiable organizational presence in recognized international data repositories, business databases and professional directories, supporting digital entity verification, public transparency, and reinforcing its presence within the global expatriate and digital health ecosystem.
The service is structured specifically to support expatriates, international residents, and travelers in Brazil who require clear, reliable access to licensed medical care. Public visibility across recognized data platforms contributes to institutional transparency and strengthens trust for patients seeking accountable healthcare services abroad..
Transparency & Organizational Presence
My Brazilian Doctor is also listed in international business databases such as Crunchbase, supporting its transparent organizational structure and reinforcing its presence within the broader global health and digital innovation landscape.
Unlike conventional online medical directories that merely list practitioners or clinics, My Brazilian Doctor provides direct physician-led consultations with continuity of care and structured follow-up when appropriate. Our model prioritizes medical responsibility, transparency, and patient safety, helping individuals avoid unnecessary emergency room visits when hospital-level care is not required — and ensuring appropriate escalation when it is.
Our mission is to make healthcare in Brazil accessible, transparent, and easier to navigate for international patients — combining Brazilian clinical quality with internationally informed operational standards.
You need to know!
You can’t buy prescription drugs in Brazil such as antibiotics, some painkillers and other medications without a local medical prescription. That’s why we provide you an online doctor's prescription legally regulated by health authorities, which is validated by a digital certificate.
