My goal is the health of the patient.
In my work, I recognize that I can literally help people with my hands. In addition to my specialty, I have gained experience practicing traumatology, orthopedics, urology, vascular surgery, and plastic surgery. I am skilled in diagnosing and treating all surgical diseases.
I also have sufficient experience as a general practitioner—I can solve various health issues quickly and professionally, and when necessary, refer patients to specialists.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling and hiking.
Dr. Andrei Smõšljajev specializes in gastrointestinal surgery.
