About me

I am a graduate of the Faculty of Medicine of the Skubiszewski Medical University in Lublin (1992-1998), formerly Academia Medyczna Lublin. I started working in the General Surgery Department of the District Hospital in Mielec, where, under the supervision of Andrzej Surowiec, MD, PhD. and surgeon colleagues, I acquired my first surgical skills.

In the years 2001-2007, I finished specialization training in the residency mode, first stage in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of the Fr. Chopin Specialist Hospital No. 1 in Rzeszów, and then in the Clinical Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of the Saint Queen Jadwiga Clinical Hospital No. 2 in Rzeszów, Podkarpackie, Poland. I obtained the title of specialist in orthopedics and traumatology after I passed the state examination in 2008.

I worked as an assistant, and then from 2008 to 2017 as a senior assistant at the Clinical Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of the Saint Queen Jadwiga Clinical Hospital No. 2 in Rzeszów.

Since 2006, (since its opening), I have been working in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology of the Specialist Holy Family Hospital - Rudna Mała near Rzeszów.
Currently - since 2017 - I am the Head of this Department

Professionally, I primarily focus on the diagnosis and treatment of shoulder and knee diseases: from small damage and dysfunction to advanced post-traumatic and degenerative changes.

Encouraged by my teacher, mentor, and friend, Dr. Roman Brzóska, I have introduced and are constantly developing advanced arthroscopic techniques in the treatment of shoulder diseases in the Podkarpacie region.

The center I currently head is an advanced center for arthroscopic treatment of the shoulder and knee.

I constantly update my knowledge and improve my skills in numerous theoretical courses and practical training organized in Poland and abroad.

I completed training in advanced surgical techniques of the shoulder and knee in renowned centers in Poland and abroad: Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, England, Spain, and the USA.
