Wojciech Kolawa, PhD

About me

The first children I helped come into this world through IVF technology are now over 20 years old. They are grown up and pursuing their own dreams. I am proud to have had the chance to help so many families.

After many years of work and experience, just like on day one, I am still curious about people. I am interested in their motivations and I want them to understand their situation and thus make the right choices.

I really appreciate working with conscious patients. Those who want to be partners in treatment, who are ready to make key decisions about themselves. It often happens that the patient has several ways to choose, and medicine does not give a clear answer as to which path is best. It is then both my experience and the patient's specific life situation that counts.

I am a demanding doctor - both towards myself and my patients. I look carefully at each couple's situation, convinced that every detail matters. As a specialist in my field, I do not forget about the complex, broad view of the patient, which illustrates my relationship with them. Thanks to this, I feel that I really help every day.

My hobby is photography, but I also escape into the world of music by playing the violin or the piano.
