Vasily Kropochev

About Me

Vasiliy Sergeevich Kropochev is a board-certified gastroenterologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal disorders.

In my clinical practice, I adhere to the principles of evidence-based medicine and always strive to identify the underlying causes of symptoms rather than merely alleviating their manifestations. I work with both functional and organic gastrointestinal diseases, including conditions related to impaired digestion, metabolism, and intestinal microbiota.

I manage patients with chronic gastrointestinal disorders, helping them develop a clear and structured plan for diagnostic evaluation, treatment, and long-term follow-up. I believe a partnership-based approach to care is essential: I take the time to thoroughly explain examination results, therapeutic options, and the clinical reasoning behind medical decisions, ensuring that patients understand each step of their care.
