Dr András Novák
Consultant Surgeon, Colorectal Surgeon, Proctologist, Procto-Perineologist
Professional Manifesto
As well as excellent technical expertise, clear communication and empathy are also essential for successful treatment. As opposed to the traditional, hierarchical doctor–patient relationship, I believe in a partnership based on equality: in the decision-making process, the patient is not a passive recipient but an active, informed participant in their own recovery.
About Us & Areas of Expertise
Having acquired a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of colorectal surgery, both conventional and laparoscopic, at the Kútvölgyi Clinic of Semmelweis University, he went on to specialise in proctology and functional disorders of the pelvis (procto-perineology). Through his international experience – gained in Vienna, Heidelberg and as part of an exchange programme with Saitama Medical University in Japan – he has incorporated Japanese precision, humility and cutting-edge technology into his day-to-day clinical practice.
