DISCLAIMER: The following information is based on patient recommendations. The ataxia.info portal has no commercial relationships with any healthcare professional and does not take responsibility for possible issues in medical care. It is always advisable to confirm whether the doctor provides care for ataxias. Some limit this care to the public hospital where they work, while others only offer private consultations. Consultation fees vary widely. Some doctors accept health insurance, while others do not.

Instructions: Schedule online. The more detailed you explain your health problem, the easier the evaluation will be. The Hospital will contact you when your appointment is scheduled. FIRST APPOINTMENT When you arrive at a SARAH Network unit, go to Reception. The receptionist will open your medical record, a folder containing information about your health problem. This folder is where the team will record all data during your treatment. Upon admission to the SARAH Network, an ID and CPF (Brazilian Social Security Number) are required for adults, and a birth certificate for children. You will then receive a SARAH Hospital card. This will be your ID for all appointments and will also indicate the dates of future appointments. If you are unable to attend, please let us know and request a rescheduling.
