Dentist of the highest category with a medical background and many years of experience in managing and developing MistoDent. She combines clinical knowledge with business experience and is responsible for developing the network, its teams and its working standards.
About the director
I began my professional path as a dentist. In 2000 I graduated in dentistry from Kharkiv National Medical University, and then developed my clinical skills, particularly in endodontics, root canal treatment and microscope-assisted work.
My medical experience became the foundation for moving into management. As a co-founder of MistoDent, I have taken part in building and developing the network from its very beginnings — from organising the work of the clinics and building teams to implementing shared standards.
Today I focus primarily on the management and strategic development of MistoDent. I am responsible for developing the network, its teams and processes, and for ensuring that as MistoDent grows, it maintains consistent standards of quality, safety and patient care.

Professional and public activity
I develop my experience not only by managing the MistoDent network, but also through educational activity and participation in industry events. Over the years I have taken part in national and international conferences, courses and training on dentistry, modern medical technologies and management.
Clinical experience helps me understand the specifics of doctors' work, while many years of developing MistoDent let me look at how a clinic functions from the perspective of the whole organisation. I combine these two areas in my educational activity as well — I am interested not only in developing medical competence, but also in work organisation, team cooperation and building stable processes in dentistry.
An important part of this activity is MistoDent Education — an educational project created for sharing experience, gaining practical knowledge and the professional development of dentists. It matters to me that the knowledge gained at training sessions and conferences is later put to real use in everyday practice.
I also see industry events as an opportunity to exchange experience with other specialists and people who manage medical facilities. Dentistry and the way modern clinics are run keep changing, so continuous development remains one of the important elements of both my own work and the development of MistoDent as a whole.
Approach to management and quality standards
I see managing MistoDent not only as developing a business, but above all as building a well-functioning system in which patients receive a consistent standard of care regardless of which clinic they visit. My experience as a doctor helps me look at management decisions from a medical perspective too, and to better understand the needs of both patients and the team.
As the network has grown, creating shared rules and processes has become especially important to me. This covers the patient's entire journey — from the first contact with the clinic and diagnostics, through planning and each stage of treatment, to aftercare.
I believe that the growth of the network should go hand in hand with the growth of the people who make it. That is why we invest not only in technology and equipment, but also in the knowledge, skills and cooperation of our team. Modern solutions are valuable to me when they genuinely help doctors work more precisely, streamline treatment and increase patient comfort.
My goal is to keep developing MistoDent while preserving the values and standards on which we have built our network from the start. As new clinics open, I want patients to keep recognising MistoDent by the same approach to treatment, safety, communication and care.
In developing MistoDent, I pay particular attention to:
- consistent working standards across all clinics;
- safety and quality of treatment;
- professional development and training of the team;
- cooperation between doctors of different specialisations in comprehensive treatment;
- implementing modern technologies and digital processes;
- good organisation of clinic work and communication between teams;
- patient comfort and experience at every stage of contact with MistoDent.
Odpowiedzi dyrektorki
How do you select doctors for the Mistodent team?
I look primarily at specialised education, documented clinical experience in the given specialisation and a willingness to keep improving qualifications — with us, training does not end on the day of hiring. Every doctor on the team has a clearly defined scope of specialisation, so the patient goes to someone who deals with exactly their problem every day, rather than “a bit of everything”.
Why does Mistodent invest in its own education centre instead of relying on external training?
External training is still an important part of development for us, but our own education centre lets us develop and maintain consistent treatment protocols across the whole network — not just send a doctor on a course, but check that they actually apply the knowledge gained in their daily work. It is also a way to share the experience of our most experienced specialists with the younger doctors on the team.
What sets MistoDent apart?
One of our key principles is a comprehensive approach to the patient. We bring together specialists from different fields, diagnostics and modern technologies so that the entire treatment process can be planned and carried out within one system.
How does your experience as a doctor shape the way you manage MistoDent?
Clinical experience helps me better understand both the needs of doctors and the expectations of patients. As a result, I can also assess decisions on clinic development, work organisation and service standards from a medical perspective.
