Serenity Portugal Reviews 

whether you moving to Portugal or visiting long term, You should consider Serenity as part of your health program. These folks are truly medical professionals.

From the day you arrive in Portugal, you know you are covered by there expertise.

I arrived in the Algarve and a few days later had to see a doctor, called Marta our counsellor at Serenity and she was fantastic, she provided local doctors names and addresses and was willing to make the appointment for me. Went to a private clinic, saw a doctor that spoken perfect English and within 2 days had an ultrasound done.

On another occasion I had to get a new prescription, unfortunately they did not have it in Portugal, Marta got on it quickly and had a doctor prescribe the same mediation that was available in Portugal, Now that's service

We joined Serenity when we first moved to Portugal to help us navigate the private and public health services. Our Case Manager, Rafaela, is excellent and she helped us find general practitioners and specialists who speak English. Serenity staff also assisted us in making appointments when necessary. We would highly recommend joining Serenity to anyone moving to Portugal.

Personal interaction is great and results in each case have been achieved.
There is an occasional need to follow up to get things done.

Overwhelming! That's the first feeling you have when you arrive to live in a foreign country. There is so much to negotiate and navigate. I urge you to spend the money and invest in Serenity's services. They take all the worry about the medical system in Portugal. They are very responsive to calls and emails. The name of the company is an apt description. They give you peace of mind on one key aspect of being settled in a foreign country.

Wonderful company providing a much-needed service for expats and anyone else needing help negotiating the Portuguese health care system. They also helped us with private health insurance issues. Marta Fernandes was our personal contact, and she vetted doctors, organized medical appointments, and much more. We felt so much safer and less stressed knowing Serenity “had our back.” Elyn Aviva and Gary White

I would give Serenity 10 stars if I could. Not only did they connect us with an excellent family physician, a great dentist, and an ophthalmologist, but they also arranged urgent care when I was very ill with a case of vertigo. Serenity is helpful, knowledgeable, courteous, and responsive. I highly recommend this service to anyone needing to navigate medical care in unfamiliar territory.

My husband and I established residency in Portugal and signed up for an annual service with Serenity. We were helped with obtaining our national healthcare registration, shopping for private insurance, searching for healthcare providers, getting priority care when urgently needed, scheduling/rescheduling appointments, and answering questions about billing and claims.

We appreciated the promptness in responsiveness to our requests, the friendliness of the team (shout outs to Rafaela & Estenio who are awesome), overall great customer service, and ease of use. The CEO, Michael Averbukh, has created a trusted resource and provided us with personal guidance when we first signed up.

If you are relocating to Portugal (mainland or Madeira Island), this service will provide you with peace of mind while navigating the healthcare system and extensive network of doctors. Highly recommend!

I second all the positive comments about Serenity. Just Wow! A group who understands what "taking care" is all about. I was contacted immediately after reaching out. Rafaela has provided exquisite care as my "person" (including getting my paperwork straightened out with the Portuguese Health care system)-she is truly an angel. When I first heard about Serenity, I thought I didn't need their services. I was so wrong. I didn't know what I didn't know. I highly recommend Serenity! Thank you for taking such exquisite care of all of us!

An amazing service that will beat your exceptions over and over. This is a group of very caring people who help you not just when you need it most- but for the everyday things with regard to your health.

Dr Michael took time from his busy day to talk with us prior to us arriving in Portugal and since we’ve arrived Rafaela has been taking care of us non stop-she’s an angel.

The company also keeps expanding services to help you.

The value offering for their services is outstanding-you will not be disappointed. I’ve already recommended to family and friends and will continue to do so.

Thank you Serenity team.

My husband and I are recent immigrants to Portugal. We came from the US less than a month ago, just a few days after purchasing Serenity’s monthly membership and physician services. I promptly became ill and injured within a couple days of arriving and WOW! They have done a superb job assisting me through medical appointments, lab work, imaging, specialists, and finding our new Portuguese health insurance. They even helped us make use of a medical discount plan while we waited for our insurance to be approved. So far we’ve saved nearly 3X what our Serenity services cost for a whole year. Because of their responsiveness I’m again looking forward to a beautiful springtime in Portugal.

Serenity is the best investment you can make in your transition to using healthcare in Portugal. Worth every euro m

Moving to another country is a challenge in so many ways. Getting medical care, immediately when you need it- day or night- but not knowing the language or where to go can be daunting. Serenity Portugal bridges the gap with grace, knowledge and skill- not later, but right now, with excellent customer service and a personal nurse care manager. Highest recommendation.

Serenity are a fantastic company, I honestly don't know how I would have navigated the Portuguese healthcare system without them. If you are thinking of moving to Portugal, definitely get in touch with them!
I moved to Portugal from the UK in 2022 (not easy after Brexit), and as I have a chronic health condition that requires monthly treatment - it was not simple. The Portuguese health system is very confusing, and if you don't speak Portuguese you will likely have a very hard time figuring out how to access the care that you need. Serenity helped me to obtain my SNS number (needed for any type of medical treatment), and even helped me with extra bureaucracy that comes with living in Portugal (such as advising me on how to obtain proof of address so that I can sign up at the local doctors surgery). Sofia has been my main contact there, and she is awesome! It has been great to have someone there to support me, answer my questions, and to get in touch with the people that I need to get in touch with at the hospital (since I don't speak Portuguese). Also helped me to get my prescriptions while I've been flying between Portugal and the UK. Honestly can't recommend Serenity enough!

I've had a great experience with Serenity this year, they guided me through the cumbersome healthcare system in Portugal and have always been ready to help when a medical issue arises. Despite how slow the process can be here in general, they make it seem faster and much simpler. Thank you for your help and support!

I signed on with Serenity just for peace of mind, thinking I would probably never actually need their services. Within a week, I injured myself working out. I reached out to Claudia, who immediately scheduled an MRI and Surgeon consultation for me. Once it was confirmed that I needed surgery, Claudia, scheduled all of my pre-op tests and coordinated everything with the surgeon's secretary.
There is no way I could have done all this by myself. I am so appreciative of the support I received from Serenity. By far, the best ROI that I have experienced!!!

A little out of my depths with the Portuguese health care system - what service falls under national health, what might be quicker in the private sector... a dilemma best handled by experts.
Case worker Sofia Costa is a superstar. She researched the best options for where I live and found a physiotherapist, gynecologist, and endocrinologist - all fluent in English while I ramp-up my Portuguese. Grateful!

Serenity provides the best customer service of any business that I've dealt with since I moved to Portugal in May. I didn't know about them at that time, but once I heard about them and emailed for more information, they have promptly responded to every question and concern that I have had. So far, I'm not yet in the SNS system (but soon...), but they have identified physicians who accept my insurance (Médis), set up two appointments (one of them to assist in getting a prescription filled). This is an outstanding service for Expats who are unfamiliar with the Portuguese healthcare system and brings total peace of mind. Thank you, Marta and Estenio for your assistance! You are awesome!!

Like many people, I moved to Portugal with a certain amount of my prescription medicines, filled at a local pharmacy in the United States. This stock become depleted as the weeks in Portugal went by. I called my Serenity case manager, Marta, and explained the situation. Within a few hours, I had new prescriptions for these medicines that I could use at a Portuguese pharmacy. Problem solved.

Serenity is a team of caring and thoughtful professionals with one aim; individualized service to others. I can’t imagine having to manage my families diverse healthcare needs here in PT without them. They have delivered each and every time we have sought their counsel.

Arriving in a new country with out knowing anyone to assist with a serious medical issued that started before we left home. We could not change our plans but worried we would have to wait to get our feet on the ground and get an appointment here in Portugal. Fortunately we heard about Serenity on Americans and Friends PT Facebook page. All it took was one phone call and they took care of everything I got the urgent medical attention without issues and prescriptions almost immediately. They also followed up every step of the way. Feeling great finally.... wishing I would have called them sooner. They even helped us get our Portugese SNS medical numbers. We highly recommend them and cannot thank them enough. Great to have peace of mind if anything else comes up.
