Tzvetan Fatchikov, M.D.

I believe in the power of education and I take any opportunity to educate my patients, so they can make the best choices for their health. I believe in the power of inspiration and personal motivation, and I always try to motivate and inspire my patients. I believe in the importance of the human aspect in our highly sophisticated profession. I believe my patients deserve the best possible treatment and, if unable to provide it, I will not hesitate to help them find what they deserve.

I am a family man. I adore my wife, two daughters, and my German Shepard. When I am not working, I enjoy traveling, outdoors, and helping my wife in our garden.
