Common complaints
“Evident growth of neurotic and psychosomatic diseases, which is obviously due to the lack of stability in the state and the corresponding medical support for this category of patients.”
Specifics of working with patients
“A neurologist should have a mathematical mindset: neurological diagnosis consists of analyzing the symptoms and changes in human health, and extrapolating this to the central and peripheral nervous systems. Based on this a doctor concludes about the nature of damage. Fast thinking in this way creates a good specialist. Although some of my friends, guided by extensive experience, make diagnosis intuitively.”
Doctor’s advice
“Every person can and should increase his physiological potential using generally accepted approaches to maintaining health. This refers to a great many aspects: nutrition, wellness exercises, daily routine and desire to live a healthy life.”

About work

It requires a serious preparation on the subject matter, diagnosis, examination and treatment. We must know the most advanced information about a particular disease, study every detail, every little thing.”
About hobbies
