It was good M.N.A.C. FEMALE 54 years old

"I found my follow-up with Dr. Estêvão good, very dedicated, people who are there to offer any kind of solidarity to the patient and work with love. Nowadays there are few people who work like that. My family and I were seen by Dr. Estêvão. This team that Dr. Estêvão forms provides a very good service. He gets a 10 out of 10" E.A.S. FEMALE 57 years old

"I know Dr. Estêvão, he is an excellent doctor. He is my doctor here at the health center. I really like seeing him, he is an excellent person." M.A.P.R. FEMALE 51 years old

"I am followed up by Dr. Estêvão and I really like his care. He is a very efficient person, he treats and takes very good care of his patients, he is not just a doctor, he is a humane person and he is very caring. He is a wonderful person. His whole team, with whom I have had tests and follow-up with the students, are wonderful people. I am very grateful and I am still in treatment. He is a great doctor" J.R.M. FEMALE 57 years old

"The Doctor's guidance was very good. But it is very hard to follow the diets and exercises, but I was very well guided by him" A.S.O. FEMALE 45 years old

"Hello, how are you? My name is (...). I am not part of this group, I attend the health center and I just want to congratulate you for the very good care. I can only thank all of you." M.S.A. FEMALE 52 years old

"I have seen Dr. Estêvão a few times along with my husband. I really like his consultations; he is a very good doctor and I like his work. I would indeed recommend him to other people, from what I know of him, that he is a good doctor. I get along well with his diet guidance because I was overweight, and my husband has a smoking problem too, for which Dr. Estêvão prescribed a medication. I would indeed recommend the care." C.S.B. FEMALE 51 years old

"My name is (...), I was seen by Dr. Estêvão. I was going through anxiety problems and after talking to him, getting guidance and referral to professionals in the field, I had a very significant improvement that I can control. Today I feel very well and I am flattered by the whole consultation process with Dr. Estêvão, who always gave me attention. If only public health were like this. It was a pleasure to meet him." W.S.V. MALE 31 years old

"We can only thank you for the good care and guidance. At home we have a patient who is 68 years old and hypertensive, followed up with him, and since he began to receive care and follow-up with Dr. Estêvão's team his blood pressure has been controlled, he got some tests, and got specialists — a cardiologist, a specialty we didn't have before at the Hospital de Base. Today he has follow-up: every 6 to 6 months he has a cardiology appointment and every 3 to 3 months he is at the Health Unit redoing blood and cholesterol tests. Thank God, we can only be grateful." F.W.A.C. MALE 68 years old

"Look, the guidance was very good. It changed a lot in my life. I managed to feel more secure. And I also managed to advise others." E.C.S. FEMALE 47 years old

"""I really like Dr. Estevão's care and guidance, which by the way are very effective. I believe it could be better if he weren't always so overloaded with patients and didn't end up having to talk to us in a rush, but I clearly know it isn't his fault.

But all the guidance he gave me helped me a lot.""" M .O.J.R. FEMALE 29 years old

"What I have to say about Dr. Estêvão's work, in the latest one, is that he was a person who surprised me. A person who sits with you and looks at you and explains everything, and medicine needs people like that because you doctors and future doctors have to pass on that confidence to your patients, a confidence to the patients, and explain what is happening to us. Dr. Estêvão simply explained everything I needed. I was pregnant, he explained the care to me, asked whether my husband was a smoker or hypertensive, and I said yes, he was a smoker and hypertensive. He ordered tests for my husband and treatment to quit smoking. So he gave me all this assistance. The experience I had at that moment with Dr. Estêvão was very good, not only with me but also with the other patients and people in my family; if you talk to all of them they will say the same thing. I loved the little handouts he gives, and I also went on the sites, which have many explanations. As an oral hygiene assistant, I saw how he pointed out to me what they were looking for in the health centers. So I can only thank him. I have to return for consultations and I hope the team at the health center keeps having this charisma and attention." N.D.P FEMALE 42 years old

My name is (...), I live here in Itapoã. In December 2005 I had a very calm pregnancy and had a boy called (...). He went through several months as a normal baby until, at 4 months, an abnormal red patch began to appear. My husband and I took him to the dermatologist and it turned out he had atopic dermatitis, for which all the doctors only prescribed an ointment, and we would have to keep that child like that, we had to live with our son. My husband and I spent practically 4 years with this skin flaking. Before that, when he was 2 years old, I got a place at the HuB hospital, and when I got care at HuB it was wonderful, and when he started losing fluid from his body the hospital took him in, admitted him, and cared for him with excellent treatment. A wonderful service at HuB from 15 to 15 days; the dermatologist gave Luiz toys. I practically lived in the hospital with him more than at home. Over the years I used a lot of Protopic and solid petroleum jelly. He had his whole body oily; I received many donations from the hospital. We were very well welcomed at the time, there was a playroom, which was wonderful. When he was 4 years old, at the time my work was at a company that had health insurance, my son caught a bacterium called viral herpes along with atopic dermatitis and had to be in the ICU. And suddenly that herpes bacterium went to the heart valve and he had to be in the ICU; they did a catheterization because he became very fragile, he couldn't take the procedures anymore. I made a promise to the Lord that if He healed my son I would be serving God, and at that moment God healed my little son and he improved a lot and I never again needed to go back to the hospital. Today he is 15 years old, his skin is wonderful, he is an excellent son. I am very grateful to the HuB team and have nothing to complain about regarding the HuB team, everyone treated me very well. Since 2009 I have never again had to go to the hospital to treat my son for atopic dermatitis. I want to thank very much this encouragement from the families who get treatment there and I want to thank everyone at the hospital for all the service. L.C.S.R. MALE 57 years old

"Dr. Estêvão is an example of a person and of a good professional, always attentive and very welcoming. He and his team. We are from the team's area, my mother-in-law, my husband, and I. He has always seen us and referred us when needed. Dr. Estêvão is 10. And his team is 1000, and I can only thank the team and all of them. It was fundamental in our lives because of the many referrals that were made. My mother-in-law had a treatment there with him, was very well cared for, and whenever we need him he always sees us." M.G.P. FEMALE 79 years old

"I had improvements in my health. The guidance was very good. The student's follow-up was wonderful, with Dr. Estêvão's recommendations on diet and medications" C.S.N. FEMALE 46 years old

"""Good evening

Thank you so much for having Dr. Estevão with us in the Itapoã community, an attentive person; he came because God sent him to us, because that is what we needed.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year🎄""" R.F.B.M. FEMALE 71 years old

"As I am pregnant I am having consultations and I am satisfied with the care and the diet tips; since I had gestational diabetes, with the tips and guidance, thank God, my diabetes is controlled! I can only thank everyone on the team." JBRQ FEMALE 24 years old

"I was very well seen by Dr. Estevão; I managed to get my tests done, it was great. Yes, it was well worth it; I managed to get my electrocardiogram and echocardiogram done, thank God it all went well" J.A.S.N. FEMALE 56 years old

"Good morning, I see Dr. Estêvão, and he guides me on medication times, measuring blood pressure and blood glucose every day, morning and night, to bring to him. He is a very good doctor, he talks to me, guides me on diet so as not to worsen my problems. A great doctor; I am getting better, I am much more controlled and without crises. He told me about high blood pressure and the reasons blood pressure rises, such as stress and poor diet, which I found very interesting. I have been doing what he says and it has all worked out, thank you very much." V.L.R. FEMALE 50 years old

"Good morning, what I have to say about Dr. Estêvão is that his method is very good; I was very well seen. I think that if all health centers were like this, with the good reception and good care he gives us, maybe hospitals wouldn't be so full. I learned the low-carb diet from his videos; slowly I am managing to lose weight; I am diabetic. Lately I have been having anxiety attacks and he supported me well, referred me quickly to a psychologist at the Paranoá hospital, and today I feel much better, thank God and Dr. Estêvão, who has this method of care, because whenever we need him he is there to see us with great attention" A.P.S.J. FEMALE 39 years old

"It's a pity I can no longer see him, because I had a gastritis problem in 2016, I went to see him and when he prescribed the medication I was fine, but now I have the same problem again; I've been to so many gastroenterologists but can't solve it. I have nervous gastritis and now an anxiety problem has hit; I'm in treatment but it's hard, I'm not managing to get better, but I will. I talk about him a lot to all my friends. He is a great doctor. M.R.R.S. FEMALE 58 years old

"""If it's about Dr. Estêvão, he's the best I've ever met! Very humane, very heartfelt, he suffers with the difficulties his patients have in getting results, whether it's medication we can't afford or getting a slot for a particular specialty! I am Dr. Estêvão!! Only love! Now about mental health, it leaves a lot to be desired! We are discriminated against from every angle, even in the health centers themselves; the staff are not trained to deal with any kind of psychological disorder! I myself got tired of being thrown out by the health center staff, me in my right mind and them teasing me and even mocking me, making gestures with a finger circling by the ear signaling that I was crazy. I believe everything that is different from normal is seen as maladjusted! And of all the mental health professionals, most do have disgust for their patients. There are few who wear the kindness of love for one's neighbor like Estêvão and the psychologist Amanda Mota and a CAPS employee, a super angel, Denis, he was the best employee CAPS Juliana Pacheco ever had!! I am Denis too! Now the new doctors even try to be human but the system corrupts them, and within a short time they become unbearable like the older ones. I think it's rotten, since most have private practices and are excellent professionals, but when they get to SUS they want to treat us like dogs, I'm disgusted with the system

I wish medicine had more doctors like DR. ESTÊVÃO; ONLY THEN WILL WE BE ABLE TO DISMANTLE THIS HUMILIATING SYSTEM FOR THE NEEDY PEOPLE CALLED SLUM DWELLERS!!!!""" A.C.A.N.S. FEMALE 45 years old

"I am taking medication and so far I have already lost 12kg thanks to eating less. I'm really well." E.L.P.S. FEMALE 49 years old

"Hi, good afternoon, for me it was very good, it was learning, I learned a lot with this team, it was worth it." M.M.S FEMALE 71 years old

"His guidance has helped me a lot with my lifestyle; after I started seeing him I had more willingness to do things, to go to the gym, and my diet also changed. His guidance was very good; before I just stayed at home, but now I am exercising." S.M.V.S. FEMALE 47 years old

He is very attentive to people; I personally loved the care, the affection with which I was seen, I can only thank each one of you." J.D.F.S. FEMALE 41 years old

"It helped me a lot! He advised me to exercise, prescribed medication, and reassured me with advice" W.N.S. MALE 29 years old

"Good afternoon, I am a patient of Dr. Estêvão, I was seen by his students, the care was great, it was exceptional, it was very good, I left there with another perspective on life, very good, very good. I was very well guided and I am following the guidance of the doctors who saw me; I thank Dr. Estêvão and his team for the work they have been doing for the Itapoã community." L.M.R.S. MALE 46 years old

"Yes, a wonderful doctor, super attentive, and does what he can for the patient. Nothing to complain about" C.P.R. MALE 50 years old

"""Good evening

Whenever I was seen by Dr. Estêvão or by one of the UnB students, I left very satisfied, because you are always very attentive, you listen carefully to our complaints and then guide us, show us the best thing to do, even show us a plan B in case a certain medication doesn't solve my problem. So I can only thank and congratulate all of you for your commitment and professionalism.

Obrigada""" F.C.R. MASCULINO 68 Anos

"Good morning, my name is ..., I am 65 years old, I feel very honored to be a patient of Dr. Estêvão. He is a doctor I found myself in, a good doctor who guides us in the consultation, pays attention, and sees patients properly; everyone likes him. At the age I am and the time I spent looking for doctors, he was the best I found, he and his team guide us very well, in line with the oath they took to health." M.D.S.L. FEMALE 65 years old

"I am a lady who is very well guided by my doctor, Dr. Estêvão Rolim, about diet and cigarettes. I don't smoke, never smoked, and I can only praise the health service, because for me and my family so far I haven't found any part of the health service that didn't serve me with love. My family and I are well, thank God, we are very well guided." M.D.S.L. FEMALE 65 years old

"My life changed completely in everything; today I eat better, I exercise, I cut 90% of alcohol, I just haven't given up cigarettes yet" E.R.S. FEMALE 47 years old
