I have been associated with the Carolina Medical Center clinic since 2009 - initially as part of the Student Science Club, then I completed a specialization training as part of my residency.
I am a member of the Polish Orthopedic and Traumatological Society, the Polish Arthroscopic Society, the Polish Society of Hand Surgery and the European Society of Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy
The main area of my interest is sports traumatology – treatment of fractures and reconstruction of damaged tendons or ligaments; arthroscopic surgery – especially knee and wrist surgery and hand surgery – including procedures using the WALANT method (Wide-awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet).
In the postoperative period, I stay in touch with the patient in order to ensure the most optimal way of recovery – through supervision of rehabilitation and regular check-ups. In my work, I attach great importance to comprehensive treatment that focuses not only on the structural problem, but also takes into account the patient’s chronic diseases, dietary management and lifestyle changes.
I am a specialist in Orthopedics and Traumatology of the Musculoskeletal System.
For 7 years I have been cooperating with the Junior High School Youth Sports Training Centre in Lublin, taking care of young football school students. At the same time, I work closely with the players of the Górnik Łęczna football club. In 2018, I completed a prestigious internship in the field of traumatology of the musculoskeletal system at Landeskrankenhaus-Universitätsklinikum Graz, where, under the supervision of the best specialists, I improved my surgical skills in the treatment of musculoskeletal system injuries. I participate in many conferences and trainings both in Poland and abroad. I am actively involved in scientific development, which is manifested in scientific cooperation with the Lublin University of Technology in the development and testing of innovative medical devices. In everyday life, I am an active athlete, by which I mean the need for quick and effective treatment for both professional and amateur athletes. Since 2014, I have had the qualifications of a ski instructor at the PI level, and since 2003, the qualifications of a WOPR rescuer.
