Experience

Dr. Fernandes works as a general practitioner at Santo António Hospital in Porto and in private practice, while completing her residency in medical oncology at the same hospital center.

Before medical school, she spent two years as a cardiology nurse at Pitié-Salpêtrière University Hospital in Paris, working in cardiac catheterization, intensive care, arrhythmia, and pacing units. That experience gave her a strong understanding of heart conditions and of what patients go through during treatment.

French is one of her native languages, so French-speaking patients can talk through everything without an interpreter.
