I specialize in minimally invasive surgical techniques of the spine, endoscopic surgery of the lumbar and cervical spine, the use of the latest techniques and the latest implants allowing comprehensive treatment of the spine. I completed training at the best German spinal clinics. In 2017, I became an international instructor-expert in RIWO SPINE endoscopic surgery techniques.

Diagnostic process

The patient can contact the patient’s caretaker or a neurosurgeon if possible. Please prepare your medical history, including test results, such as magnetic resonance imaging. They will be necessary at the consultation stage for assessment whether the patient is eligible for surgery.


How to make an appointment?

  • Contact the patient’s caretaker
  • Complete the survey and magnetic resonance
  • Make an appointment with a neurosurgeon

Having analysed the Patient’s health and pre-qualifying for surgery, the doctor will suggest further consultations. This will allow an in-depth preparation for surgery.

You are in the hands of the best specialists who care about your comfort from the first moment in the hospital.

The surgery using the endoscopic method takes less than an hour, and you will get out of bed the same day.

After surgery, the patient is under care and we regularly monitor their health condition.

Based on post-operative surveys, we check the progress of rehabilitation and the pace of recovery.

After the surgery, we invite the patient for a check-up visit to make sure that recovery is going as planned.

During meetings with patients, we observe how positively their lives change after surgery, and how quickly they get rid of back pain.

What is endoscopic spine surgery?

It is minimally invasive, innovative spine surgery (MIS), safer than the traditional one. This treatment is characterized by a high success rate and low complication proportion. The method is based on the use of an endoscope, which reaches the place of the disease, and through which the necessary tools for the surgery are introduced. By using this technique, the incision is only a few millimetres, the injury associated with access to the spine is kept to a minimum, the patient doesn’t lose blood, and the danger of a decrease in immunity is eliminated. The patient gets up from the hospital bed as early as one hour after the procedure and is independent. Endoscopic surgery enables patients to return quickly to full strength and health.
