No matter how sad this may sound, finding a good specialist in the field of medicine is very difficult today. And many people associate this problem directly with the heyday of corruption. You can talk about this a lot and for a long time, weighing all the pros and cons of paid services. But one thing is for sure: in Russia there are still doctors who are ready to fight for the health and life of a person disinterestedly, while receiving a penny. “Who, if not me,” such doctors say.
“Do not rely on the opinion of one doctor. Try to hear the second, ”- this is perhaps one of the best advice to people. And this article tells about the personal life and career of the author of this quote - Grigory Efimovich Roytberg. This is a famous Russian and Soviet scientist, cardiologist. He can rightly be called the organizer of health care. This is a successful entrepreneur, awarded many prizes and awards for those achievements that he managed to make in his life.
Roitberg Grigory Efimovich Biography - childhood and adolescence
The future scientist was born on August 20, 1951 in the city of Soroki, the Moldavian SSR. Father, Efim Petrovich, worked as a livestock specialist, and his mother, Klara Moiseevna (nee Aizenshtadt), was a nurse. He also had a sister, Raisa.
In all interviews, he talks very warmly about his family. Roitberg Grigory Efimovich calls his parents very strong people who have always achieved their goals. Klara Moiseevna and Efim Petrovich created an incredibly warm and cozy home atmosphere around the little son, despite the fact that times were difficult, after the war they barely made ends meet. However, Grigory Efimovich remembers that there were still holidays in the family, and quite often. The family was large, so they celebrated birthdays, then weddings, then the birth of children. And it so happened that every time at least 70 people gathered at the table. Here is such a big and friendly family.
Training and career start
Grigory Efimovich Roitberg now admits that he did not want to be a doctor in childhood. Together with the certificate he received a gold medal. In school years, he was repeatedly a winner of the Olympiads, so he could easily enter the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics. Father said, “Are you going to be a teacher?” Look how poor they live! Look at what your physics teacher is wearing. ”
Grigory Efimovich had no choice but to enter the medical institute. He was enrolled in the biomedical faculty. I wanted to become a biochemist. But here, too, the father intervened, who, for certain reasons, advised me to go to medical treatment, and then transfer to where he wanted to. So it was done. But when Grigory Efimovich began to study clinical disciplines, he realized that he wanted to continue to do just that.
After completing his basic studies, Roitberg fell into the residency of the legendary (as he himself says) Pavel Evgenievich Lukomsky. Those couple of years during which he studied under the academician, Grigory Efimovich calls the greatest school. Pavel Evgenievich had a great influence on his formation as a doctor. Then Grigory Efimovich Roitberg worked in a regular city hospital in Moscow as a general practitioner (from 1976 to 1981). Then he defended his thesis, after which in 1981 he became head of the department of cardiology and associate professor of hospital therapy at the Dental Institute.
At the same time as conducting medical practice, Grigory Efimovich read a lot, a lot. He was better educated than his colleagues. Then it even seemed to him that he could cure absolutely any disease.

All ranks
Roitberg Grigory Efimovich - cardiologist, professor, doctor of medical sciences. He is the head of the Department of Family Medicine of the Russian National Research Medical University named after N. I. Pirogov. As already known, he is the president of the diversified private clinic of JSC “Medicine”. He achieved these ranks from 1990 to 1998. In 2011, he became an effective member of the RAS.

Interesting Facts
Grigory Efimovich is “friends” with technology. He believes that it is not always necessary to go to the patient yourself or call him to the clinic - sometimes you can contact via Skype. If a person has any questions or complaints, then treatment can often be adjusted by way of an extramural “examination”. But, of course, this is far from always possible.
Grigory Efimovich collects figurines of medical subjects. Today in his collection there are several hundreds of such items.
The brainchild of Roitberg, the clinic "Medicine", not only successfully passed the JCI accreditation, but was also awarded five stars from the no less prestigious European EFQM system. Of course, the doctor is proud of this achievement.
Once in the press there was news that Grigory Efimovich Roitberg met with the Pope. However, the doctor refused to give any comments on this subject.
Currently
Not surprisingly, “Medicine” is considered one of the best clinics in Russia. Today, Grigory Efimovich is 67 years old, but he continues to develop in order to become better himself and improve the medical institution he has opened.
"Do not try to change the world. Change yourself, and the world around you will change." For his many years of experience, Grigory Efimovich faced with a variety of diagnoses. He now says that making the right diagnosis is what comes as an insight. And it’s impossible to explain exactly how this happens. So, in the near future he is going to release another book in which the diagnoses will be described. Those that are actually much simpler than they might seem at first glance. So, for example, one girl almost had a kidney transplant due to problems with urination. And the reason was only that she practically did not drink water, as she was convinced that they were getting fat from it. And there are a lot of such examples.
In the list of Russian Forbes
Being a talented doctor and a successful entrepreneur, in 2014 he got on the pages of the magazine. Namely, in Forbes. Roitberg Grigory Efimovich took 197th place. Then his standing was estimated at 450 million US dollars.
