MUDr. Marcel Drlík, FEAPU

Paediatric Urologist

I have been a surgeon for 29 years. Initially, my patients were adults. In 2001, I began treating children, and in the last 15 years, I have focused exclusively on paediatric urology.

During most of my professional life, I hoped that I would be able to provide Czech children with surgical treatment of simple urological disorders the way I had experienced while working abroad – on an outpatient one-day basis, without the need for hospitalization.

I have only been able to make that wish come true after joining My Clinic, a health facility that provides optimal conditions and resources for providing this type of medical care.
