Working with patients

"The doctor should have conscientious attitude to their profession."

“The doctor has to treat his profession conscientiously."

“Endocrinologist has to persuade the patients to change their attitude to themselves, and to explain that if they don`t do it, the treatment will be useless. The patient has to have a desire to be healthy, then everything will be the way it has to be.”

“The specialty of working with foreigners is to pick up the necessary nutrition for them, which will accompany the treatment and at the same time it will be usual and simple for them. For instance, diabetes patients in African or Mexican areas differ from our patients by food variety.”

A piece of advice for patients

“Men at the age of 33 and women at the age of 40 need to pay the most accurate attention to their health. If the person increased in weight, if the arterial pressure increases – in this case it is necessary to see the endocrinologist for the examination”.
