Presentation of the expert

I am a specialist in internal medicine and I am the head of Pihalajalinna's Diabetes and Obesity Clinics. 

I have a long experience in the treatment of diabetes.  My doctoral thesis concerned the role of familial factors in the development of diabetic kidney disease in type 1 diabetes. Lately, I have treated mostly type 2 diabetic patients, where novel drugs have dramatically changed the treatment by helping patients to loose weight. We use these same drugs in the medical treatment of obesity. In 2022, I have completed Obesity Canada's Advancing Obesity Management Program. 

I also treat patient with general internal medicine disorders, I have a special interest also in the follow-up of patients with cardiovascular diseases, elevated blood pressure and cholesterol.

My outpatient clinic is situated i Pihlajalinna Dextra (Munkkivuori), but I take care of a growing portion of my patients remotely in the Pihlajalinna Etäklinikka (Remote Clinic).

You are cordially welcome to visit me!
