Meet the doctor

A passion for surgery, precision in practice

I have been a specialist in general surgery since 2006. I completed my PhD in 2007 at the Medical Academy of Warsaw (now the Medical University of Warsaw); my doctoral thesis evaluated surgical treatment of chronic venous insufficiency.

I have been performing surgical procedures for over 20 years. Minimally invasive surgery is my particular focus — I carried out my first laser phlebology procedures back in 2010. I specialize in laser treatment of varicose veins and the use of laser techniques in proctology, which I perform at Nikamed Centrum Zdrowia in Warsaw. I also specialize in thyroid, parathyroid, and laparoscopic surgery, which I perform at Medicover Hospital. Consultations are available in Polish and English.

What sets me apart →

Strengths

Experience that shows in how the procedure goes

01 / LASER SINCE 2010

Over a decade of practice in laser vein therapy

I have been performing laser and endovenous varicose vein procedures since 2010, and my first laser treatments for spider veins date back to 2008. Methods used across many centers are, for me, routine — backed by years of practice and a large number of procedures performed.

EVLT · EVLA · RFITT · Varilite

02 / RECURRENT CASES

Cases following prior surgery

I treat patients who have already undergone previous procedures or surgery for leg varicose veins, thyroid conditions, hernias, and proctological issues

Reoperations · complex cases

03 / SCOPE

Three fields, one pair of hands

General surgery, phlebology and proctology. One doctor handles diagnosis, treatment and post-operative follow-up — no handing the patient between offices. Surgical experience gained in the operating room informs my minimally invasive practice

Continuity of care

04 / PhD & BOARD CERTIFICATION

PhD in Medical Sciences 2007 — board-certified general surgeon 2006

My doctoral thesis, defended in 2007, addressed chronic venous insufficiency — a condition I treat daily in practice. My procedural and surgical skill was built over years spent in the operating room

Medical Academy of Warsaw

05 / TWO PATHWAYS

Outpatient procedure or operating room

I perform procedures under local anesthesia as well as surgery under general anesthesia. The choice is guided by medical indications and patient preference. Local-anesthesia procedures — Nikamed Centrum Zdrowia. General-anesthesia surgery — Medicover Hospital
