His surname means Lion, and it’s no coincidence that Hugo is the king in Implantology, and his apparent stern look leaves any patient in a stand still just for 30 seconds, after which he reveals himself to be kind and well-disposed as a kitten.

With his (tripeiro) northern accent he manages to give all the details of the treatments in an assertive and thorough (calculating?) way.

Marta has been with us almost from the beginning. she knows the positioning of everything and every detail, has everything well organised. No wonder why she is a woman o 7 jobs, she too is responsible for the attendance of patients to the consultation.

She guarantees the integral support to the doctors during the assistance and also the preparation of equipment and materials necessary for the consultations.

On a daily basis, this Superwoman assists and coordinates the dental assistants, controls the dispatch and arrivals of the laboratory jobs, sterilizes and controls the entire clinic and (we are nearly at the end…) supports the reception. Weekly, she organises the schedules of the assistants and supervises the stock.

She also manages all the information sending requests to the laboratories, helps and supports the control of the stock and the sterilisation. All by foot!

Ana Paula is responsible not only for all the management of the reception, that is, booking and confirming the dental appointments, answering phone calls, invoicing and payments, attending patients coming in and going out from the surgery, also with the medical reports she elaborates the quotes for the dental treatment and defines the payment plans.

Sweet and maternal as she is, explaining and clarifying treatment plans to the patients, there is a high success rate of acceptance of treatments.

She never eats “fast food” because she loves to cook (and she makes amazing cakes!).

Carries a responsibility to define the best strategy for the harmony and growth of the clinic, managing people and finances with mastery, honesty, team spirit and has a contagious laughter.

She is sweet and this is reflected in her passion for cake designing. But be careful, our Isabel becomes a true Hulk (which funny enough green is her favorite color) when she faces with lies and insincerity.

Proactive and with great adaptability, the weight of responsibilities becomes light in your hands.

Among the team she is known as Tita, the multifaceted Cristina is responsible for promoting the “Alinea” brand in and out of doors.
