Where do visitors usually go for something like that, and do clinics take international insurance or is it cash upfront? Staying near Bar Parnapiacaba if that helps.

Try a UBS or pronto-socorro for a quick ear check, but bring cash since they'll ask for upfront payment.

fair point, but worth knowing pronto-socorro is for emergencies only, a UBS handles non urgent stuff like an ear infection.

Good call on the cash, and yeah a UBS is the right spot for something minor like that since they won't turn you away even without a carteirinha.

Private clinics want payment first too.

yeah cash upfront is pretty standard here. some places might reimburse you later if u file with your insurer back home. ask for a recibo

Is ifoof in Sao Paulo worth visiting in 2026?

I'm coming to Sao Paulo next month and ifoof keeps popping up on my feed. Anyone been recently, is it actually good or just hype? Also wondering if I need a reservation.
