Tell us about your professional interests other than your specialization:

• “Integration of the latest technologies to ensure effective and friendly treatment. Using modern materials for immobilization, such as Scotchcast, Thermocast and 3D-printed plasters, which provide maximum comfort, minimize discomfort and reduce the risk of psychological trauma during treatment. I am interested in modern technologies in medicine, in particular 3D printing in orthopedics and the latest metal structures for correcting limb deformities in children. These innovations help make treatment not only effective but also friendly for young patients.”

Hobbies, favorite movies, books:

• “My hobby is developing my own style, which for me is not only an indicator of taste but also a way of intellectual expression. I love shopping and appreciate looking stylish in myself and others, because appearance plays an important role in creating a first impression and emphasizing individuality. I also actively maintain a profile on social networks, where I share clinical cases related to trauma and pediatric orthopedics and convey important information about pathologies in a form accessible to parents. I help parents understand what their child needs, basing everything on the principles of evidence-based medicine. I am interested in scientific literature, and one of my favorite books is “The Fine Art of Screwing Up. An Unconventional Approach” by Mark Manson.“

Doctor's advice:

• “Take care of your child's health from an early age, because the child's body is like plasticine, from which you can mold good health! Remember that a child is not a small adult, and his or her body needs an individual approach to prevention and treatment. Even small symptoms can be very important, so don't ignore them and consult a doctor right away. Regular check-ups at the age of 1, 3, 6, and 9 months, as well as annual follow-up visits, will help to detect and prevent the development of pathologies in time. Avoid self-treatment - trust your child's health to specialists. We are always ready to help ensure their happy and healthy development!” P.S. The doctor of your sweets.”
