Tell us about your professional interests other than your specialization:

• “I am professionally interested in implementing innovations in ultrasound diagnostics, modern colposcopy, aesthetic gynecology, and cancer prevention. These fields are rapidly evolving, and I strive to stay at the forefront to ensure patients receive care aligned with global standards. My interests extend beyond clinical practice — I place special emphasis on physician education and simulation-based learning. I believe that modern, practice-oriented education is the foundation of quality healthcare. A doctor with broad knowledge and skills provides accurate diagnoses and effective treatment.”

Hobbies, favorite movies, books:

• “My hobby is Argentine tango. It’s more than a dance — it’s a way of creating stories through motion. When I hear music, I visualize inner space and fill it with emotion — and each step becomes a portrait of existence. I love films that evoke deep emotions and raise questions about humanity, freedom, and dignity. My favorite films include The Pianist, Paganini: The Devil’s Violinist, The Green Mile, The Fountain, Schindler’s List, and from Ukrainian cinema — Dovbush, as well as the series Yellowstone and Coffee with Cardamom. I’m inspired by profound books. My favorites are Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés, The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, Amadoka by Sofia Andrukhovych, Sweet Darusia by Maria Matios, and Fieldwork in Ukrainian Sex by Oksana Zabuzhko.”

Doctor's advice:

• “An annual gynecological exam is a basic form of prevention that helps detect even asymptomatic issues early. Fertility is a limited resource — age and ovarian reserve should be considered in advance. Evidence-based medicine is about precision and avoiding unnecessary treatment. Choose doctors who explain every decision. Hormonal health is often linked to emotional and social well-being. It’s important to treat the person, not just the symptom. Pain, fatigue, and anxiety — don’t ignore these signals. Your body speaks first — listen to it.”
