General surgeon

Book appointment

Introduction

As a general surgeon, I have over 22 years of experience in both emergency and elective surgery, including trauma, oncology, and laparoscopic surgery. My professional priority is minimally invasive surgery. In 2007, I was the first in Tallinn to start regular laparoscopic hernia operations and have had an extensive international career in both Estonia and the United Kingdom. I see patients from the age of 15.
