- "My job is not only to treat but also to support the family at the most crucial moment when a child needs medical help. I strive for every small patient to feel safe, and for parents to confidently understand what is happening and why we choose this particular treatment path. Modern diagnostics allow for accurate determination of the urological and surgical health of children of any age, and treatment - conservative or minimally invasive - helps achieve complete recovery. The trust of small patients and their parents is especially important, because only joint work and open dialogue ensure the best result. I am confident: a good doctor is primarily an attentive diagnostician, because a precise understanding of the problem leads to effective and safe treatment."

Doctor's advice:
- "Parents often think that a pediatric urologist or surgeon should only be consulted for complaints or pain. In reality, many conditions develop imperceptibly, and their early detection helps maintain a child's health without complex procedures. I recommend bringing your child for an annual preventive check-up, even if everything seems normal, paying attention to habits and changes in urination or the appearance of formations, and consulting a specialist about simple measures to maintain health. Regular prevention is an effective way to ensure that your child's development and health are on the right track, and you can calmly plan their daily life."
