Family Physician, Physician
I like cooking, biking, dancing and socializing..
I was born and raised in Kyiv, Ukraine in a family of mathematician and geography teacher. I graduated from Kyiv National Medical University as a pediatrician. and later completed fellowship program as pediatric cardio-rheumatologist. After years of working in Ukraine I followed my husband, a physicist, who pursued scientific career in the US. It took me sometime to learn English and complete US Medical Board requirements. I finished Family Medicine Residency Program in Reading, PA. I joined a team of physicians at University of Tennessee Medical Center.. I love to take care of people of all ages, from different socioeconomic groups and backgrounds. I think all my previous life experience helps me to understand all kind of human health and mental problems. I also like working with medical students and feel proud when they choose a Family Medicine path. I like a family environment we created in our office. This really helps patients to stay connected. I am very thankful to all my patients who helped me to be a better doctor.
