The doctor offered a closed method without incisions and punctures. Already the next day I was able to get back on my feet. Later, after the pathology results, I also had ovarian surgery using the same method, and the recovery was again very quick. Now I feel good and am endlessly grateful for such attentive and modern treatment.

I believed those words and stopped using contraception just once. While waiting for my period, I found out that I was already 7 weeks pregnant. I am still happy about this now, but after the consultation I was left without a sense of confidence and trust.

Only this doctor offered the modern V-NOTES method. As a result, instead of a difficult open operation, the affected area was removed in a minimally invasive way, and already the next day she walked on her own and felt well. Despite the fear due to the large number of past operations, the doctor with his attitude and professionalism helped to go through this period much more calmly.

Very attentive, punctual and always answers questions in detail. I had a complex hysterectomy, and the recovery was as easy as possible and without severe pain. I fully entrusted him with my health and can sincerely recommend him.
