MD Krzesimir Sieczych

I am a graduate of the 1st Faculty of Medicine at the Medical University of Warsaw. I began working with Carolina Hospital in 2007 while still a student. In 2019 I obtained the title of specialist in Orthopaedics and Traumatology of the Musculoskeletal System. I specialise in the treatment of injuries and overuse conditions. As a surgeon I love to operate; however, I treat surgery as a last resort – before reaching for the scalpel I look for other ways to help the patient. I perform injections of hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma, etc.

Since 2020 I have served as orthopaedist of the Olympic Team, caring for athletes during the Olympic Games (Tokyo 2020, Beijing 2022) and treating them on a daily basis. Since 2017 I have been the doctor of the National Swimming Team. From 2013 to 2016 I was one of the doctors of the National Weightlifting Team. Working with athletes gives me incredible experience that I can use in the treatment of all my patients.
