Nadezhda Novikova

About Me:

Nadezhda Novikova is a general practitioner with extensive clinical experience.

In my practice, I adhere to an evidence-based approach and focus on long-term improvements in quality of life.

I believe that when diagnosing neurological disorders, it's essential not just to determine the diagnosis but to understand what is causing the patient's symptoms. Therefore, during a consultation, we discuss complaints, their onset, progression, and any previous examinations in detail before proceeding with the examination.

All of this helps identify the source of the symptoms and develop a clear plan for diagnosis, lifestyle adjustments, and treatment.
