MD Agata Wasilewska

In terms of surgical and hospital treatment, in recent years I have mainly focused on treating small patients – tonsil operations, ear drainage, nasal surgery, and the diagnosis of various conditions.

My particular areas of interest are paediatric head and neck vascular lesions – malformations and haemangiomas – and salivary gland diseases. I also advise on otolaryngological contraindications to recreational diving.
