Why Choose Dr. Pereira

Not Just Surgery —
A Philosophy of Care

Dr. Pereira's approach is grounded in a simple conviction: prevention is the best remedy. Every patient receives an individually tailored program combining surgical precision with evidence-based rehabilitation — treating root causes, not symptoms.

Sports medicine is not a single specialty. It demands collaboration across orthopaedic surgery, physiotherapy, nutrition, and biomechanics. That integrated approach is exactly what Dr. Pereira brings — shaped by training at some of the world's top institutions.

Why Arthroscopy?

Unlike open surgery, arthroscopic keyhole techniques require only 2–3 small incisions. Patients experience significantly less pain, reduced blood loss, lower infection risk, and a much faster return to daily activity and sport.

Recovery Timeline

Most knee arthroscopy patients are walking the same day. Return to sport typically ranges from 6 weeks for meniscal procedures to 9–12 months for full ACL reconstruction — guided by Dr. Pereira's structured rehabilitation protocol.
