Every Story Has a Beginning
Some stories are born from an idea.
Others are born from a restless desire to do better.
It was with this vision that, in September 2025, four orthopedic surgeons renowned for the Anca e Bacia Portugal project decided to create something greater. They envisioned a space where technical excellence, innovation, and human care coexist. Thus, Nações Unidas Clinic was born in the heart of Telheiras, Lisbon.
The name represents a meeting point between knowledge, specialization, and empathy, a place where the patient feels heard and the body regains confidence in its movement.
Orthopedics with Time on Its Side
Those who enter Nações Unidas Clinic immediately notice a different atmosphere. There is time.
Here, orthopedics is treated as a process that begins long before surgery. The consultation is the first step of a story built together, characterized by attention, clarity, and dedicated follow-up.
Our goal is simple: to redefine the private orthopedic care experience in Portugal.
Less haste, more precision. Fewer rigid protocols, more human medicine.
Subspecialization: Because Every Joint Deserves an Expert
The body is a complex system and deserves specialized attention. At Nações Unidas Clinic, each team is dedicated to a specific area of orthopedics:
Hip and Pelvis
A pioneer team in treating hip and pelvic pathologies using minimally invasive techniques and state-of-the-art prosthetics.
Shoulder and Elbow
Treatments for instability, tears, and osteoarthritis using modern arthroscopy and arthroplasty.
Foot and Ankle
Percutaneous and arthroscopic surgeries treating everything from hallux valgus to complex fractures.
Knee
A comprehensive approach to ligament, meniscal, and degenerative injuries, integrating regenerative therapies.
Spine
Personalized treatment for herniated discs and chronic pain, utilizing tissue-preserving techniques to reduce recovery time.
Sports Medicine
Specialized support for professional and recreational athletes, with a focus on performance and safe recovery.
Innovation That Respects the Body
At Nações Unidas Clinic, technology serves one purpose: helping the body regenerate intelligently. Surgery is not always the only path; we invest in non-surgical joint therapies with solid scientific foundations:
- Viscosupplementation with high-density hyaluronic acid
- High-concentration Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
- Meta-cellular technology and photo-thermal biomodulation
- Personalized joint supplementation protocols
A Space Designed to Care
Located on Avenida das Nações Unidas in Telheiras, the clinic is easily accessible with nearby parking. The space was designed to reflect our core philosophy: clinical precision with a human soul.
With modern offices equipped with cutting-edge technology, every detail has been thought out to welcome and guide the patient through every phase of treatment.
The Team Behind the Excellence
Nações Unidas Clinic is composed of a group of orthopedic surgeons with vast experience, recognized for their competence and dedication:
Dr. João Sarmento Esteves, Dr. Pedro Simas, Dr. David Maia Pinto, Dr. Miguel Pádua Figueiredo, Dr. José Neves Pinto, Dr. Pedro Marques, Dr. Tiago Coelho, Dr. João Protásio, Dr. Jean-Michel Fallah, Dr. Ricardo Antunes, Dr. Filipe Marques, Dr. Nuno Pereira Coutinho, Dr. Nuno César Barbosa, and Dr. Miguel Medalhas Cardoso.
Each represents a subspecialty, but all share the same conviction: that modern orthopedics must treat movement as life’s most precious asset.
Recovery as a Homecoming
At Nações Unidas Clinic, rehabilitation is seen as a natural extension of treatment.
Each case is monitored with rigor and empathy because physical recovery is only complete when the patient also regains their confidence.
Here, medicine is made of science and presence.
A Commitment to Movement and to Lisbon
Lisbon has gained a space that redefines what it means to care. A clinic where diagnosis is precise, technology is advanced, and treatment is truly human.
