Paulus Inkeroinen

 I am a general practitioner with a particular focus on treating injuries and acute illnesses. I have worked in the emergency department of Meilahti Hospital in Helsinki treating trauma patients, where I built strong expertise in injury care. I also have experience from other hospital emergency departments, health center emergency services and urgent care clinics. Alongside my work at Pihlajalinna, I work as a health center physician in Kittilä. Sprains, wounds and suspected fractures from the slopes or the fells are part of my everyday work, and I treat most injuries myself. If your injury needs further care, I will refer you on without delay. At my practice I also treat, for example, respiratory, urinary tract and other infections, rashes, back and joint pain, stomach complaints, gynecological issues, as well as high blood pressure and other chronic conditions.

I also perform minor procedures, such as stitching wounds, draining abscesses, removing moles and other skin lesions, taking biopsies, and giving cortisone injections into joints. In addition, I insert IUDs and contraceptive implants (please bring the IUD/implant with you).

Please book two consecutive appointments if your visit concerns mental health, you need a medical statement, you have several concerns, you are coming in for a procedure, or you need an interpreter.
