Tell us about yourself
I started as a manager in one of the physiotherapy facilities in 2004 and understood that I really like to help people who were suffering from pain on their way to recovery,
In my mind, I associate myself with our patients and the pains that they are going through and try to help them in any possible, explaining their situation and ways to make their life and medical condition better.

Helping people to get better brings me satisfaction and inner peace.
