Graziela Afonso Ribeiro

With a clinic visit built around a detailed hip assessment—gait, mobility, and joint care—Graziela Afonso Ribeiro helps patients regain movement with a clear plan for conservative treatment or surgical referral when indicated. As a specialist at the clinic in Lorena-SP, she works in Orthopedics and Orthopedic Trauma and also serves as Head of the Orthopedics sector at AME Lorena. Her clinical routine includes evaluating functional limitations and trauma-related problems in urgent and emergency settings. Her education followed a structured path in Brazil: medical graduation at Universidade Severino Sombra (2009), residency in Orthopedics and Traumatology at Hospital Universitário de Taubaté (2010), then specialization in Orthopedic Trauma at UNIFESP (2011). She later completed a specialization in Hip Surgery at Hospital Universitário de Taubaté, aligning her long-term practice with the needs of patients who present with hip pain and mobility limitations. In the clinic, she provides orthopedic consultations for adults, children, adolescents, and older adults, covering areas such as the spine, knee, shoulder, hand, foot, and hip, as well as sports injuries and changes in movement. Along with in-person care at the Centro doctor de Especialidades, she also offers telemedicine guidance when indicated. The approach is designed to be practical for everyday life: listening to symptoms, performing a physical exam, and using functional analysis to support decisions. When conservative measures are appropriate, they are prioritized to control pain and preserve autonomy; surgery is considered only when there is consistent clinical indication.
