"Take care of people, with respect for each one's autonomy. A medicine that sees a human being in each patient."

Everything in Colono tells a story, specially Dr. Fábio!

It is the result of many years of planning and effort by Dr. Fábio Soares in partnership with his cousin, Rodrigo Dantas. Together, they wrote this passionate project about health care. After all, the materialization of such a daring dream for medicine at an artisanal pace also depends on innovative, attentive and dynamic management.

Dr. Fábio usually says that he has studied medicine for 25 years and never intends to stop. Passion for study is reflected in dedication to research and scientific production. Mixing the academic background and practice with care vocation over all these years, it has become notable for its pioneering spirit in the adoption of various techniques and technologies. Always looking to adapt the practice of medicine to the needs of each patient.

We believe in medicine made with hands, eyes and ears. Which goes in the opposite direction of the trend of industrialization of medicine, requiring the doctor and his team to be prepared for new challenges on a daily basis.

Colono way is a mirror of Dr. Fábio commitment, whose history as a professional has always remained faithful to the belief that medicine can evolve in technology but always grounded in its millenary values. Take care of people, with respect for each one’s autonomy. A medicine that sees a human being in each patient.

Colono carries in its DNA the permanent search for state-of-art technological resources. It’s infrastructure and equipment are world class. It is also noteworthy the qualification of the entire medical and auxiliary team, as well as the consolidation of care processes and protocols. Colono is a Digestive System Day Hospital focused on the human side of medicine!
