Dr Cláudia Zennaro has been a physician at Ferticentro since 2017, enthusiastically supporting couples undergoing fertility treatments. With a close and personalized approach, she strives to provide not only excellent medical care but also guidance, confidence, and reassurance at every stage of the reproductive journey. She has a particular interest in human reproduction and high-risk obstetrics.
Before establishing her career in Portugal, Dr Zennaro built a solid professional background in Brazil, gaining extensive experience in Gynecology and Obstetrics. She completed a professional internship at Hospital Maternidade Oswaldo Nazareth (Praça XV) in 2006 and worked at the outpatient clinic of the Associação dos Servidores Públicos do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (ASPERJ) from 2006 to 2013. She specialized in Gynecology at the 28th Ward of Santa Casa da Misericórdia do Rio de Janeiro in 2006 and in Obstetrics at the 33rd Ward in 2007. During this time, she served as a maternity physician in various hospital units, including Hospital da Mulher in Cabo Frio (2008); Hospital de Cachoeira do Macacu (2009); Hospital and Clínica São José (2008–2009); and Hospital and Clínica Perinatal São Gonçalo (2009–2013).
Between 2013 and 2017, she worked as a high-risk obstetrician in the Cuidados pela Vida Program (CEMEDCARE – AMIL / DIX / Medial) in the Niterói region, managing complex clinical cases and ensuring patient safety and well-being.
Dr Zennaro completed the equivalence of her medical degree at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, Portugal, in 2008, after graduating from University Gama Filho, Brazil, in 2005. In 2024, she completed a Postgraduate degree in Aesthetic Medicine at the University of Alcalá, Spain, further expanding her expertise and commitment to the overall well-being of her patients.
Human reproduction was a dream I never imagined I would pursue, as until then I was fully dedicated to high-risk obstetrics. Receiving the invitation to join the Ferticentro team in 2017 was a unique opportunity to enter a field I had always been interested in. Over the years, working with such complex patients has become a true labor of love: celebrating achievements, helping to fulfill the dream of motherhood, and taking part in such meaningful moments is a great responsibility, but also deeply rewarding. Attending human reproduction congresses across Europe allows me to continue learning and to bring new ideas and techniques that help me better support my patients.

Patient Testimonials
“Fantastic service from start to finish. Staff were so warm, friendly and reassuring. They responded to messages quickly and always made me feel totally confident and safe in their care. Would highly recommend.”
“We had a great experience with Ferticentro.
The communication was clear, the clinic was in fantastic condition, everything felt new, clean, and most of all every single member of staff we had contact with, from the initial contact to the doctors to the reception staff, to the embryologists, were fantastic.
I wanted to give a special shout out to my favourite people, the nurses. They are kind. Empathetic, gentle and caring. We felt so well cared for by Catia, Barbara and the whole nursing team (I wished I could remember more names!)
We are currently 13 weeks pregnant with our first attempt of reciprocal IVF. As a same sex couple I never once felt like we were treated or handled differently than anyone else, single or partnered, in the clinic.
I would highly recommend Ferticentro for fertility treatment.”
“Thank you for helping me to finally make my dream come true.”
“After a lot of research and a failed experience with another clinic, Ferticentro turned out to be the best choice for me. Even before I became their patient, they took the time to explain all my options and helped me find the best solution, especially as an international patient with time constraints. Throughout the entire process, they made me feel comfortable and supported. From the front desk staff to the nurses and doctors, everyone was thorough, transparent, and genuinely cared. They responded promptly to all my questions, and I always felt like I was in good hands. Initially, I had some hesitation since the clinic isn’t as modern as others I visited, but it was impeccably clean. On the day of my egg retrieval, I had my own spotless room, and everyone was so kind and reassuring. They made a difficult and personal procedure feel much less daunting, even though I was going through it alone and had never been under anesthesia before. Ferticentro is great at accommodating international patients, both with timelines and financial concerns. If you’re considering egg freezing, I highly recommend this clinic. Even if you’re staying in Lisbon, it’s just a 1.5-hour train ride to Coimbra. I only wish I had started with them from the beginning. The staff and clinic are incredible.”
“Very professional, very warmly and familiar, I have very positive memories of my stay and now a wonderful son.”
“Satisfied with the services offered at the clinic at every stage. Excellent team work, well organised clinical, staff was patient, showed empathy and answered all questions. Technology level is high quality, excellent aseptics.”
