Procedures in connection with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic:
Given the current epidemiological situation, we have undertaken a range of preventive measures to minimise the risk of virus transmission. The safety of our Patients and personnel is our priority. We continue monitoring effectiveness of our procedures and improve them if necessary. Before a visit to our clinic, every Patient is e-mailed an epidemiological survey to fill and return it to a designated address. Only healthy individuals who have not been in contact with coronavirus patients for at least 14 days may see consultants at our Clinic.
Everyone must disinfect their hands on arrival at the Clinic.
Everyone will have their body temperature measured at the entrance.
The personnel and Patients on the premises must wear protective masks.
Patients scheduled for surgical treatment take PCR testing for SARS-CoV-2 a day before their surgery.
A great majority of our personnel have been vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2. The remaining individuals are routinely PCR tested.
No visitors are allowed during the pandemic.
Before your appointment:
Come to a consultation, where a specialist will not only listen to every Patient but will also suggest a treatment guaranteeing optimum results. Everyone will find out in detail what their procedure will be like, how to prepare for it, and how long the recovery will take.
You can book a consultation yourself using the 'Make an appointment' tab, calling at +48 887 700 700, emailing kontakt@chirurgiaplastyczna.pl, via Facebook (DrSzychta) or Instagram (@DrSzychta).
It's a good idea to bring records of your previous complaints or procedures to your first appointment. The doctor will then be better able to assess the Patient's condition and suggest an effective process of treatment.
3 photos of the region to be operated on will be needed, a front view and three-quarter views (as instructed on registration).
Surgical procedures follow qualifying appointments. The far less complicated and non-intrusive aesthetic medical procedures don't require previous appointments and consultations take place immediately before a procedure.
Our Patients and Guests can use free parking spaces by our building.
We communicate in English with the Patients who can't speak Polish.
You can pay for consultations and appointments followed by less complicated procedures on the spot, in cash or by credit card. Surgeries can be prepaid by bank transfers.
Our Patients can take crediting to finance their surgeries on arrangement with the Clinic Coordinator.
First of all, an identity document, results of tests ordered, including a test for the presence of SARS-CoV-2 virus in your body, an original document certifying your blood group, medication against any chronic conditions, comfortable clothing and footwear to change into (buttoned clothes are recommended), a towel, and necessary toiletries.
The Patients may use a free Wi-Fi network.
Companions are offered a very wide range of hotels in Gdansk. There are a number of attractive locations in the vicinity of our clinic, in the Old Town or by the sea.
A catering outlet with a varied menu is located in the same building as our Clinic.

Patients must report any known drug allergies on admission to the Clinic.
The doctor will order ongoing diagnostic tests during your qualifying appointment. They must be taken not earlier than 2 weeks ahead of your scheduled procedure. You must e-mail the results to the clinic and show the originals to your doctor before your procedure. Without these documents, a scheduled procedure cannot be undertaken safely. Patients must take the following tests: complete blood count, thrombocytes, coagulation parameters (APTT, INR, prothrombic time), electrolytes (Na, K), HBS Ag, anti-HCV, urea, creatinine, glucose, blood group. Patients above 40 must hae their ECG taken as well. Thyroid patients submit the following results in addition: TSH, FT3, and FT4. Breast USG will also be needed in some cases.
