I've got my first professional experience on the basis of KL №22 in Kyiv during an internship, for which I am  sincerely grateful to the staff of the therapeutic department of this legendary hospital. In the future, I was working at the bases of CL No. 10 and No. 12 in Kyiv, where I later decided to specialize in gastroenterology, having gained a great deal of experience in managing patients. In 1998, I've completed specialization courses in ultrasound diagnostics, since 1999, I have been working in 2 specialties. In the future, I continued to work in the polyclinic of the SBU VMU, successfully defending my candidate's thesis in 2010 on the topic "Features of the clinical course and treatment of duodenal ulcer disease in military personnel."

Since 2014 and until now, I have been working at the "Oberig" clinic as a gastroenterologist and ultrasound doctor, and today I have also mastered the technique of pH-impedance measurement.I am constantly gaining professional knowledge, taking part in both national and international conferences.

The field of professional interests for 30 plus years of work in medicine is everything that a patient comes with within the scope of gastroenterological pathology: from heartburn to pancreatitis and cholecystitis, constipation and diarrhea, PCOS and IBD, ulcers and gastritis, etc.; as well as issues of endo- and ultrasound diagnostics.

The main areas of practical activity: diagnosis and treatment of functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, gastroesophageal reflux disease with a refractory course and extraesophageal manifestations, Barrett's esophagus, changes in the gastric mucosa (atrophy/metaplasia/dysplasia), liver diseases (metabolically associated steatotic liver disease, autoimmune diseases, viral and toxic lesions), diseases of the pancreas and exocrine insufficiency, inflammatory bowel diseases, fermentopathy; study of the pathogenetic mechanisms of the development of steatohepatitis, clinical features of the course of autoimmune diseases of the liver and intestines, study of the microbiome and the possibility of its correction in patients with pathology of the digestive organs and in combination with other pathologies, features of biological therapy in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases.

Author of 13 scientific papers, 6 patents, 4 proposals, participant of national and international schools of gastroenterologists and hepatologists.

 The question "Who to be?" never stood - of course, a doctor: all the kittens and puppies, as they could, were rescued with girlfriends in the yard as a child, all school competitions of dressing the wounded on the battlefield in the game "Zarnitsa" always won and returned home with cups. 

 I appreciate not only modern international recommendations and standards of evidence-based medicine of the 21st century, but also humanity, decency of relations between people. The principle of life, as well as the principle of his professional activity - "The one who walks will overcome the road."
