About the specialist

I am a graduate of the I. Horbachevsky State Medical University in Ternopil (2005, Ukraine), where I obtained a medical degree with a specialisation in general medicine.

I began my surgical career by earning the title of general surgery specialist in 2008 at the postgraduate faculty of the State Medical University in Ternopil. Over the years, I have developed my competencies in surgical procedures, emergency surgical care and modern minimally invasive techniques.

I devote particular attention to advanced surgical techniques - in 2014, I completed training in hysteroscopy and laparoscopy at the P. Shupyk National Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education and the Endofors Endoscopic Surgery Research Centre in Kyiv. In 2022, I completed an intensive course entitled 'Step-by-Step Minimally Invasive Pelvic Surgery' in Poznań, which enables me to offer patients modern, precise surgical procedures.

I currently work as a physician in the Department of Obstetrics, Pregnancy Pathology and Gynaecology at the Ministry of the Interior and Administration Hospital in Bydgoszcz. In 2021, I obtained my first qualification category in obstetrics and gynaecology. I am an active member of the Ukrainian Society of Gynaecology.

My extensive experience encompasses emergency medical care in life-threatening situations, patient observation and management using modern diagnostic methods, and a wide range of surgical procedures. I speak Polish, Ukrainian, Russian and English.
