than what sort of a disease a patient has.

Hours of operation

Querqus Medical Centre is a group of excellent doctors and physiotherapists who are passionate about medicine and physiotherapy.

We are graduates of Łódź universities, scholarship holders of international scientific societies, constantly building our qualifications in order to treat according to the latest knowledge and techniques used around the world.

We are open to comprehensive care for the child and their parents, and even grandparents.

We want to take care of women expecting a child, along with the whole family. We want to provide support in the period before and after childbirth, and provide care for relatives – children and adults.

Querqus is a place where we provide our patients with the highest level of medical care in an environment that is visually pleasing and not reminiscent of a medical facility. The place has a climate unprecedented in the region and most probably all over Poland.

We deal with complicated pregnancies, i.e. those during which the care of a specialist other than an obstetrician is necessary (including a vascular surgeon, diabetologist, nutritionist, physiotherapist, cardiologist, internist, nephrologist, neurologist, orthopedist, or radiologist). A comprehensive approach is our goal. After birth, we will take care of the child (orthopedist, pediatric surgeon, neonatologist, pediatrician, cardiologist, and physiotherapist) as well as check, diagnose, and take care of the grandparents so that they can enjoy their growing family.

As part of an appointment at Querqus Medical Centre we’ll examine the physical state of the patient, paying attention to their condition and mental well-being. We treat the person, not the disease.
