Hana Jandikova

Endocrinologist
17 years of experience

Both fields attracted me already at the high school. My enthusiasm also lasted during my studies at the 1st Faculty of Medicine at the Charles University. After graduating from the university, I joined the Institute of Endocrinology in Prague. At the same time I trained at the Third Internal Clinic of the General University Hospital in Prague. Both institutions are highly specialized centres with a wide range of diagnoses. I had the best teachers. I very much appreciate the two foreign experiences, the internship at the University Clinic in Düsseldorf and at the St. Barts Clinic in London. In 2013, I defended my Ph.D. and after a short maternity break, I successfully passed the attestation in 2015.

Work is also my hobby. I follow the latest trends and participate in both domestic and foreign congresses and seminars.

I assess clients individually, I rely on a calm and friendly approach, a thorough case history, the search for connections and a comprehensive view.

In endocrinology, I monitor the state of hormones (chemical messengers) that are produced by the endocrine glands and circulate in the blood to regulate a large number of bodily functions. The disease comes when the production of a particular hormone is too high or too low. Furthermore, the field of endocrinology includes the care of reduced bone density - osteopenia or osteoporosis.

When caring for diabetic patients, the most important thing for a diabetic is to understand what is going on in his/her body and what results a good lifestyle and treatment might bring. I am open to discussions about various dietary measures, I try to motivate positively and to find the right solution for everyone individually, so that we can reach the target glycemic range.
