At Meliva, I assist patients both as a general practitioner and a general surgeon. I have long-term experience in general surgery and can advise and assist patients with various surgical problems. I also have extensive experience in breast cancer surgery and laser surgery for varicose veins. I am a member of the Finnish Breast Cancer Group (Suomen Rintasyöparyhmä).
You can come to my appointment with the following health concerns:
- abdominal pain (e.g., gallstone disease, ulcers, heartburn)
- hernias
- skin formations (skin tumors, benign skin changes, e.g., moles, atheromas, lipomas, etc.)
- skin formations that a dermatologist deems necessary to remove, abscesses
Anyone of any age can consult the general practitioner for various health issues. If necessary, the doctor can refer you for blood tests, examinations, or to a suitable specialist for very specific health problems.
Common reasons to visit the general practitioner include, for example:
- inflammations (e.g., conjunctivitis, urinary tract infection; initial consultation for acute respiratory infection at the Digiclinic)
- treatment and monitoring of chronic diseases (e.g., hypertension, diabetes)
- preventive health check-ups (consultation with a doctor to plan tests and interpret results)
- application for health certificates (e.g., driver’s health certificate)
