Tamar Pirtskhalaishvili joined Mrcheveli in 2012 as an assistant pediatrician, and since 2020, she has been practicing as a pediatrician, providing comprehensive care for children. Her extensive clinical practice is enriched by advanced medical training and fellowships across the Netherlands, Austria, and France.
Early in her medical career, a guiding principle shared by an American colleague became the foundation of her approach: “You should treat the patient, not the disease”. Rather than focusing solely on isolated symptoms, she prioritizes the overall health and well-being of each child.
Her work is grounded in evidence-based medicine and patient-centered care. Dr. Pirtskhalaishvili believes that successful treatment relies on two critical factors: communicating with children in an age-appropriate manner so they feel safe and comfortable during examinations, and providing parents with clear, evidence-based guidance.
