Ivana Gocká

I studied pediatric nursing in secondary school and gained experience working in the department of newborns. Over time, I expanded my knowledge and practical skills and began working in the neonatal intensive care unit. I also completed university studies specializing in nursing. Working in our clinic is a place where I connect with children, find inspiration, and keep learning. Every day, I look forward to meeting our little patients and their parents.

MUDr. Friderika Németh

Since childhood, I harboured a dream of making a difference in people's lives, enriching them with beauty and betterment. A pivotal moment in my journey occurred during a week-long hospital stay as a sick child, where I discovered my life's mission: to become a Pediatrician. The path towards this aspiration was arduous and lengthy, yet today, I find myself immersed in a profession that resonates deeply with me.

Also, currently employed at a children's hospital, I encounter diverse ailments on a daily basis. Each patient presents a unique case, demanding an individualized approach and treatment. My aim is to ensure that every child under my care experiences a vibrant and healthy childhood.

I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet you!

Kristína Luštiaková

As a medical student driven by a passion for science and a commitment to aiding others, I find myself captivated by the intricacies of the human body and its remarkable capacity for self-healing. This fascination has fueled my pursuit of medicine since childhood.

Throughout my studies, I engage in the multifaceted aspects of diagnosis, treatment, and patient care. However, it is within pediatrics that I discover my greatest enthusiasm. My aspiration is to evolve into a pediatrician dedicated to delivering exceptional care to every child entrusted to my care.

I firmly believe that, even as a student, I can contribute meaningfully to a team devoted to enhancing the lives of young patients. Joining a pediatric clinic presents a distinctive opportunity for me to refine my nursing skills, amass invaluable experience, and play a part in fostering the health and well-being of children.

Since childhood, I’ve wanted to protect children’s health and provide them with loving care. This passion shaped my future, leading me to study nursing and later to dedicate myself to this beautiful profession.

My previous experience is in an allergology clinic, but for many years now, I have been working as a nurse in a pediatric clinic. This work fulfills me every day. I consider health to be the foundation of a child’s comprehensive development. I try to pass on to children the inspiration I get from my own hobbies, such as books, art, and sports.

Health is a feeling of physical, mental, and social well-being, not just the absence of illness. And this is incredibly important for children as well as adults.

Since childhood, I have had a natural affinity for working with children, which inspired my decision to study medicine with a clear goal in mind—to become a pediatrician. This dream remained unwavering throughout my studies. After graduating, I began my career at the National Institute of Children’s Diseases, where I gained extensive experience in nearly every department through rotations, acquiring valuable knowledge in all aspects of pediatric care. Additionally, I spent over two years working in the pediatric emergency department, which equipped me with essential skills in acute medicine.

I believe that children teach us some of life’s most important lessons—their honesty, joy, and unique way of perceiving the world are truly inspiring. Each child has specific needs, and working with them requires not only professional expertise but also empathy, patience, and understanding.

I look forward to partnering with you and caring for your children in our clinic!

(Doctor is Currently on Maternity Leave)

I come from a large family, and being around children and taking care of them has always been a natural part of my life. I believe this influenced my future and led me to my current profession—to become a pediatrician. Being surrounded by children, being inspired by them, and accompanying them on their curious and unique journeys is my greatest joy.

My professional journey has been shaped by diverse experiences in various places and positions. These include working on a humanitarian project in a hospital in South Sudan, completing a pediatric residency program at the Children’s Hospital in Banská Bystrica—primarily at the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology, but also periodically at the 2nd Pediatric Clinic and the Pediatric Emergency Department—working with the team at the children’s mobile hospice Svetielko Nádeje, and my current role at a pediatric clinic.

Each of these professional experiences has been invaluable, shaping me not only in my career but also as a person. They have taught me what truly matters—health, gratitude, and meaningful interpersonal relationships enriched by clear and compassionate communication.

This is why I believe that giving children and their parents the time and space they need at the clinic is both the least and the most I can offer.

I look forward to meeting you.

MUDr. Katarína Dúhová, PhD.

Childhood is a crucial period when a child's physical and psychological foundations are formed. As a pediatrician, I have the unique opportunity to positively influence this development and guide children toward a healthy and fulfilling life. To this day, this remains one of the main reasons I chose pediatrics during my medical studies.

In addition to earning my degree from the Faculty of Medicine at Comenius University in Bratislava, I expanded my expertise through specialized internships and study programs abroad, including in Turkey, Austria, and Israel.

After completing my studies, I worked at the Children's Clinic at the National Institute of Pediatric Diseases, where I focused on diagnosing and treating a wide range of childhood illnesses. Alongside my clinical practice, I actively participated in teaching pediatrics to medical students, striving not only to pass on knowledge but also to instill a passion for the field. I was also involved in scientific research, specializing in childhood obesity, hypertension, and urinary tract infections. My work led to the successful completion of my doctoral studies and the attainment of a PhD. I have presented my research findings at numerous pediatric congresses both nationally and internationally and published in esteemed international medical journals.

I am also a mother of two children, one of whom has autism spectrum disorder. This personal experience has deepened my understanding of psychomotor development and its disorders in children, helping me recognize early developmental differences and intervene effectively.

I firmly believe that children's health is the foundation of a healthy future. That’s why I take an individualized and empathetic approach to every patient and their family, ensuring they receive comprehensive and high-quality medical care.

Matúš Mackanič

I graduated from the Slovak Medical University, where I gained the knowledge and expertise necessary for the effective management and organization of healthcare services.

In recent years, I have worked as a medical center manager at a polyclinic in Bratislava, where I acquired valuable experience in administration, team coordination, and optimizing operational processes.

Currently, I apply my expertise in managing a medical practice, focusing on improving the quality of healthcare services and ensuring the smooth operation of daily processes.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and staying active through sports.

MUDr. Laura Vitalošová

During my studies at the Faculty of Medicine of Comenius University in Bratislava, I knew I wanted to help people. Over time, however, I realized that my true path was to care for the smallest ones - children. I was fascinated by the scope and possibilities of examinations during a child’s very first visit to a pediatric office, as well as by the importance of prevention. I gained experience at the Children’s Hospital as well as in pediatric practices in Bratislava and the surrounding area.

Working with children fulfills me, because each child is unique and brings their own personality. Life with them is never boring and it is exactly this diversity that makes pediatrics so enjoyable for me.

My life motto is “Žúžo dobrodrúžo” - I approach children with playfulness and an effort to see the world through their eyes, while at the same time with the reason and responsibility that the work of a doctor requires.
