General Info

About me

The most exciting thing about studying medicine and practicing is when one helps a patient and their family to cope with their illness or as emotional support, guiding and often training.
For me, the mission of a pediatrician is not only to treat a patient, but also to guide on healthy lifestyles for the prevention of diseases both in early stages and in adulthood.
