It is important to know all the important moments behind the complaints

“As a doctor and a mother, I know that the health of their children is the most important thing for parents. In my practice, I see how common gastroenterological complaints are in children, so I find it very useful to be able to provide them with immediate help through the expertise and combined experience of the two fields. I find it necessary to know all the important moments when exploring the background of the complaints, which can help with the examination and treatment.

Everything can be interesting. From the child’s sleeping habits, through behavioral problems, to the eating habits of the family – including the child. Knowing these can reveal the most likely causes of the complaints and help start targeted examinations. In some cases, even changes related to diet and lifestyle lead to significant or complete improvement.

Other times, only a series of well-planned examinations provide an answer to the causes of the disease. In addition to physical therapy, taking into account psychological factors "a child and family-centered complex patient care can be realized. This perspective guides my work."
