Visiting Helsinki or living here and need a doctor for an acute problem? I focus on clear, practical assessment of pain, infections, wounds and other new or clearly changed symptoms. The aim is that during the same visit you understand what needs treatment now, what can be managed at the clinic and what may need further tests or follow-up.
I have about 15 years of experience in urgent general practice and outpatient care, and since 2018 I have worked in GP urgent care at Mehiläinen Töölö. This experience helps me assess limited acute problems efficiently and make a clear plan.
My practice is especially suited for acute pain, infections, respiratory and urinary symptoms, wounds, abscesses, nail problems, joint complaints and other clearly defined concerns. The appointment works best when we focus on one main problem at a time.
I also perform common minor procedures when appropriate, including wound suturing, abscess drainage, partial nail procedures and joint or corticosteroid injections. Skin lesions and lumps can be assessed, and selected small removals may be possible case by case. The decision to perform a procedure is always made after examination. If you hope to have a procedure during the same visit, please book two consecutive appointments.
