Priority area of practice and range of medical advice

The latest practices and equipment

We actively implement the latest practices and equipment.

‘Due to effective communication with the Dobrobut clinic management doctors have an opportunity to receive all the necessary diagnostic tools promptly.’

Profession’s features

‘There is not a surgeon who would switch off from work having closed the department’s door. And if several doctors of the same specialty happen to be in one room, the rest of the people present simply get bored: they talk only about the hospital.’

The most challenging things in work

‘There are no difficulties in work. We overcome all of them.’

The rules of life

‘The concept of the doctor-patient confidentiality is out of the question.’

‘The doctor should explain the patient all the medical aspects and not just explain, but achieve mutual understanding.’

‘A good doctor is a certified doctor. The concept of a ‘bad specialist’ is a Soviet past anachronism and simply stupid. In a discussion devoted to high-quality European medicine this topic does not even arise: a bad doctor will not get the license.’

‘I try to avoid decadent moods.’

‘Due to my work I have visited a lot of countries and there are many others I would like to go to.’

Hobbies and Interests

‘My greatest passion is my family – wife and kids. I like and read books, though it is difficult to comment on each one for the number of my favorite literary works is really high.’
