• “Medicine is not just technical knowledge and skills, but the ability to listen and understand the patient. A doctor must combine deep understanding and experience with empathy and support. As the great physician Avicenna (Ibn Sina) said: ‘The physician should have the eyes of an eagle, the hands of a girl, the wisdom of a snake, and the heart of a lion.’ These words are a true guiding principle in medical practice, for it is important not only to know how to treat but also to be kind and human.”

Priority areas in clinical practice:

• surgical treatment of varicose veins and venous pathologies of the lower extremities at different stages;
• comprehensive diagnosis of cerebrovascular atherosclerosis and abdominal aortic aneurysms;
• conservative and surgical treatment of thrombophlebitis, atherosclerosis, and endarteritis;
• ultrasound diagnostics of blood vessels;
• microsclerotherapy for reticular veins and telangiectasias;
• management of patients with major vessel injuries.
• "Due to the introduction of modern laser technologies, traditional radical surgeries for varicose veins are increasingly being replaced by new treatment methods. Laser techniques are less traumatic, have a shorter recovery period, and reduce the risk of complications, making them a preferred choice for patients. As in any area of medicine, the patient's examination starts with the simplest methods and becomes more complex depending on the results. We will begin with an analysis of your complaints and history, physical examination, and laboratory tests such as coagulogram and lipid profile. Then, for more accurate diagnosis, we will conduct an ultrasound examination of veins and/or arteries, which is the 'gold standard' for venous pathology. If necessary, we can perform angiography or CT angiography to assess the condition of major arteries. After obtaining the results, we will discuss the next steps in treatment and monitoring your condition together. Your health is our common goal!"

Tell us about your professional interests other than your specialization:

• ultrasound diagnostics of blood vessels;
• modern approaches to treating cardiovascular pathologies;
• new treatments for chest organ diseases, including vascular-tumor lesions, which may require a multidisciplinary approach;
• vascular complications in cancer patients;
• blood disorder therapy.

Hobbies, favorite movies, books:

• "I enjoy traveling, painting, horseback riding, and studying foreign languages. True inspiration for me has always come from reading. I especially love world classics, and among my favorite authors are the writers of the 'lost generation': Erich Maria Remarque, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway. I am also always inspired by the works of André Maurois, Somerset Maugham, and Stefan Zweig. My favorite book is ‘Beware of Pity’ by Stefan Zweig. It's a profound story about involvement, choice, and human vulnerability — themes that are close not only in life but also in medicine."

Doctor's advice:

• "Dear patients, remember that doctors are always ready to do their best to improve your health. However, your active involvement in treatment, trust, and adherence to recommendations are crucial parts of success. Together, we can achieve the best results, and I will support you at every step of your journey!"
