I'm Pauliina Karttunen, a doctor for children and adolescents. I've worked as a pediatrician for about two decades in hospitals and also in health care centers, schools and in private practice. This has given me experience to treat children and young people of all ages.
My goal is to create a calm and confident appointment, and I aim to set aside time to go through matters without rushing.In this way the doctor's visit is a positive experience for the child as well.
You can bring your child to the clinic for a wide range of issues, such as infections, allergies, rashes, suspected asthma, stomach problems, and also challenges related to growth and development, headaches, and nutrition-relates issues.
Please note that I do not treat injuries, perform medical procedures, or treat gynecological symptoms in adolescents.I do not conduct initial ADHD assessments, though I can provide an opinion on the matter of ongoing treatment.
You can book a remote appointment, if you have previously consulted with me.
Welcome to my practice at Mehiläinen in Lappeenranta!
