General practitioner

Book an appointment

I am a General Practitioner (GP) and treat the full range of conditions and illnesses that fall within general practice. You are welcome to book an appointment with me for any medical concern or illness, as well as for injuries and accidents. I also offer virtual appointments.

I also enjoy performing a variety of GP-level procedures, including mole removals, rubber band ligation treatment for hemorrhoids, wound suturing, and joint injections. I graduated in 2014 and have more than 12 years of experience working as a GP in various healthcare settings, including emergency care.

I am happy to see patients of all ages. I treat private patients, service voucher patients, insurance patients, and occupational health patients. You may also book a Kela 65+ appointment with me.

My particular areas of expertise include the diagnosis and treatment of common chronic diseases (such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, prostate conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, asthma, and mental health disorders), gastrointestinal diseases, and skin lesions/mole changes. I also have extensive experience in the wide range of GP procedures mentioned above.

I have received a great deal of positive feedback for my empathetic, patient-centered approach and for taking the time to listen carefully to my patients. When necessary, I can also refer you to a specialist in either the public or private healthcare sector if I am unable to resolve your issue myself or if your condition requires specialist care.

Please note: I do not prescribe or renew medications that affect the central nervous system.

  • A complex issue (such as mental health concerns) or a more extensive medical statement/report (e.g., a B or C medical certificate)

  • An appointment involving a procedure

  • Multiple issues to be addressed during the same visit
