GP appointments in Töölö

An acute pain, infection or new symptom? I examine the problem, assess the treatment you need and agree the next step with you. You do not need to know the diagnosis.

Care route

Where should I seek care?

This is not an emergency department. At the appointment the aim is to examine the situation and decide the next sensible step: self-care, medication, a minor procedure, tests or referral.

Book an appointment

An acute pain, infection or other concern needing examination.
A local problem needing same-day treatment can be assessed here if your condition allows and an appointment is available.

Seek urgent assessment

Symptoms are worsening rapidly or you are unsure whether they can wait.
You need urgent care and no suitable appointment is available, or you may need hospital emergency care.

Call 116117 if you are unsure where to go or cannot get timely care. Do not wait for an appointment if your condition worsens.

Call 112

For severe breathing difficulty, unconsciousness, new stroke symptoms or another life-threatening situation.

Appointment focus

One main concern

Come with the symptom that matters most today: pain, infection, a wound, a painful lump or another acute change. You do not need a diagnosis or to know which treatment is required. We decide that after examination.

Book 20 minutes for one acute concern and an in-person 40-minute visit for a possible procedure. For a comprehensive review of several long-term problems, ask Mehiläinen to help arrange the appropriate service.

During the visit

Examination, treatment and a plan

I examine the problem and explain what the findings suggest.
We agree whether treatment can start now or whether tests or another service are needed.
If a procedure is appropriate, I explain it and the estimated cost before we proceed.

Experience

General practice and urgent care since 2010

I began working in physician roles in 2010 and graduated in medicine in 2012. I have worked in Mehiläinen Töölö urgent care since 2018. Experience of treating older people and people with several illnesses helps me take medication and underlying conditions into account, including during an acute visit.
