Professor Iakiv Fishchenko · Patient information
Consultation and appointments
To discuss an epidural steroid injection or adhesiolysis, start by sending a brief description of your symptoms and your existing MRI scans. The team will review the images alongside your symptoms and explain the next step.

Send your existing scans and reports
Prepare the complete MRI study in DICOM format, the radiology report, and a summary of your pain and previous treatment. If you have had surgery, include the discharge summary. You can send an archive containing the complete study, or a link to it, to the professor in a private Telegram conversation or by email.
The professor's preliminary review of existing scans is free. It helps identify the next step, but does not replace an examination or guarantee remotely that a procedure is suitable for you.

+38 094 821 08 30In-person consultation in Kyiv
Consultation address: 27 Bulvarno-Kudriavska Street, office 702, Kyiv. Confirm the date, time and arrival details with the administrator before travelling.
The decision to offer an injection, catheter adhesiolysis or another treatment follows an assessment of your symptoms, neurological findings and scans. The team will separately confirm where the agreed procedure will take place.
Cost and treatment plan
A cost estimate is provided after consultation. Once the method has been chosen, confirm the total price and which materials, medicines, anaesthesia and monitoring are included.
Do not buy a course of injections in advance based only on a diagnosis label. We first assess the indications and expected benefit.
Privacy and emergencies
Send medical documents in a private conversation, not in public comments. If you are contacting us on someone else's behalf, make sure you have their consent or appropriate authority.
Online contact is not an emergency service. Increasing weakness, problems with bladder or bowel function, or a marked deterioration require urgent medical attention. In an emergency, call 103.
Patient questions
Is the procedure itself free?
The free service is the preliminary review of existing scans. Ask the administrator about consultation arrangements and the cost of the procedure.
Can I book an injection without an examination?
The indications, contraindications and alternatives need to be assessed first. The words 'disc herniation' or 'stenosis' in an MRI report alone do not determine the treatment.
