About the clinic
A full-service ENT clinic
In São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil, for children and adults. Consultation and testing integrated in a single facility, in the Jardim Renascença district.
How we work
The shortest route to an answer
Anyone who has seen an ENT specialist knows the route: the consultation, the test request, the wait at another address, the follow-up weeks later. Meanwhile the uncertainty remains. So does the symptom.
Clínica Rhinus was set up to shorten that path. The consultation and the hearing, balance, nasal and throat tests take place on the same premises. In many cases everything is resolved in one visit, with the plan discussed in front of the results.
Hearing and balance tests are carried out by the speech-language pathologists on our team, and the results are interpreted by the ENT specialist during the consultation, alongside your history and the physical examination. See the tests carried out here.
Explaining what is happening, in words the person understands, is part of the treatment. Nobody decides well about something they have not understood.
