I became seriously ill while vacationing in the Algarve and spent two weeks as an inpatient in the hospital. As a retired physician I will focus primarily on the quality of care. From the first moments speaking with the ER physician, who rapidly grasped how sick I was, the care was excellent. The physicians who saw me were intelligent and thoughtful. Their plans were always grounded in the commonly used protocols of EU medicine. As my condition changed they continually explained their logic and changed their plans accordingly. The nurses and support staff, many of whom have worked in England, were also exceptional. I spent a good deal of time on their imaging machines which are excellent and modern. The radiology interpretations were critical to the case and also excellent. Throughout the hospitalization the physician and business office kept in contact with my insurance company in the States to make sure my bills were guaranteed. My colleagues at home kept asking if I could be transferred to a larger hospital in a bigger city but I reassured them that although I was in a small city, I was in a well equipped hospital, being trateated by excellent, competent physicians. I would not hesitate to use them again.
