MEET OUR FOUNDER

The idea of opening a new specialized cardiology practice was affirmed and conducted gradually. My great experience in the treatment and prevention of heart disease based on many years of work and treatment of thousands of patients obligates me to make it available for other patients too. But the daily work in the clinic and Angio room with complex patients limits the opportunities. So I decided that in my free time in my specialized practice I will be available for everyone who needs me. Besides the decades of experience, I have the opportunity to offer my patients modern equipment and technologically superior for diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. ”
