- ‘Almost all urogenital system inflammations require an antibiotic treatment in order to prevent a risk of transforming into a chronic form. At the same time, there is a stereotype about harm of antibiotics elaborated throughout years that still effects social consciousness.’
- ‘The first generation of these medications, invented in the 70-80s of the last century, that actually had side effects, had been replaced with the fifth or even sixth generation acting for good long time ago. Paediatricians do not prescribe antibiotics that are contraindicated for children.’
- ‘Urologic diseases have become younger. Nowadays, kidney stone disease occurs 50% more often than 5-10 years ago. Incidence increases, cancer affects more and more young organisms.’

Hobbies, favorite movies, books:
- ‘Sports! You should do sports. Abroad, there are crowds of people of different ages running in the parks – while you can barely see a rare bird at the stadium in our country. Although it would seem, “There, there we have the practice grounds, right next to the house – just go outside and run!”.’
- ‘I myself try to run at least 3 km in all weather conditions – sprinkling is not an excuse for being lazy.’
- ‘I try to travel whenever possible. In my young days I even used to go hiking.’
