About the doctor

Oleh Iakovets is an endoscopist, a Candidate of Medical Sciences (PhD) and a member of the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. He graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of Uzhhorod National University in 1998, completed his internship in surgery at the P. L. Shupyk Kyiv Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education, and specialised in endoscopy at Lviv National Medical University in 2001.

From 2000 to 2013 he worked as an emergency surgeon at Uzhhorod Central City Clinical Hospital, and since 2013 as an endoscopist; his total clinical experience is more than 27 years. The core of his practice is examination of the digestive tract and airways: gastroscopy (EGD), colonoscopy, sigmoidoscopy and bronchoscopy, as well as biopsy, polyp removal and control of bleeding. A separate area is screening for the early detection of stomach and bowel tumours.

You can request a consultation or an examination on MediUkraine, and the coordinator agrees the date with the clinic. Endoscopy requires preparation — a special diet and agreeing on any regular medication with your doctor — so the coordinator checks in advance which examination is planned and passes on the clinic's instructions.

Frequently asked questions

Why would I see an endoscopist?+

An endoscopist examines the inner surface of organs — the oesophagus, stomach, bowel and bronchi — with an optical instrument. Most patients come with a referral from a gastroenterologist, surgeon or family doctor, or for a screening examination. The indications for a specific examination are determined by the doctor.

How is endoscopy different from ultrasound or X-ray?+

Endoscopy shows the mucous membrane directly, in real time, and during the same examination allows a tissue sample to be taken for histology or a polyp to be removed. Imaging methods do not offer this, so they are often used in combination.

How do I prepare for an endoscopic examination?+

Preparation depends on the type of examination: the requirements for gastroscopy and for colonoscopy are different. The clinic gives you instructions before the procedure. Let the clinic know in advance about any medication you take regularly, especially medicines that affect blood clotting, as well as any allergies and other conditions; do not stop or change a medication unless the doctor who prescribed it agrees.

How do I book an appointment or examination through MediUkraine?+

Choose the doctor in the MediUkraine directory and send a request. The coordinator will clarify exactly which examination you need, agree the date with the EXPERT hospital in Uzhhorod and send you the preparation instructions before your visit.
