I was born and raised in Ukraine, where I attended medical school and practiced emergency medicine before moving to the United States. After taking USMLE exams and completing preliminary year in internal medicine in Brooklyn, I continued my medical career in New York, providing primary care in outpatient, assisted living and nursing home settings.
My journey to family medicine has been shaped by experiences caring for patient from diverse backgrounds and at different stages of life. I am passionate about preventive care, holistic approach and building long-term relationships with patients and their families.
Outside of medicine, I enjoy reading, traveling, spending time with my family, and exploring new places. I look forward to becoming part of the Gadsden community and growing as a physician alongside my fellow residents and faculty.
After a unique and nontraditional path to residency, I am especially grateful for the opportunity to pursue my lifelong goal of becoming a board-certified family physician.
