Family doctor in Kyiv

When I created this website, my goal was not only to introduce myself as a professional and an experienced pediatrician. I also wanted, as far as possible, to help people find answers to questions about their health that our public healthcare system cannot always provide, for example, because doctors are often overloaded with patients.

My name is Oleksii Volodymyrovych, and I began practicing medicine in 1997. I started learning the fundamentals of medicine back in 1988, when I entered a medical college (then known as a medical school). Alongside my studies, I worked part-time in emergency and urgent medical services. I started as a medical orderly, then became a paramedic, and eventually a physician. I worked both as part of general emergency crews and specialized pediatric teams.

After graduating, I also saw patients at an outpatient clinic as a family doctor. I treated everyone from children to grandparents, seeing patients across all age groups. At that time, in the late 1990s, family medicine was just beginning to gain momentum. In practice, I had to be not only a general practitioner and pediatrician, but also something of a cardiologist, neurologist, urologist, and more. Not quite a traditional country doctor, of course, but I certainly had the opportunity to encounter a wide variety of medical conditions.

I completed my residency training at several large hospitals in Kyiv, both pediatric and adult. I continue to work on improving my knowledge and skills. I read medical literature and specialized medical websites and keep up with developments in the field of medicine.

I am a pediatrician by training and later obtained a specialization in family medicine. I currently work as a practicing specialist at a family medicine center.

Feel free to contact me, but hopefully you won’t need to!

P.S. I do not issue sick leave certificates without a medical consultation. Medical certificates are issued only after an in-person examination and, when necessary, additional tests. “Can I buy a medical certificate from you?” is not a question for me.
