Martta Jokinen has ten years of experience as a doctor. At the Skin Hospital, she treats skin diseases, specialising in scalp problems.
Her thoroughness makes a big impression on patients. She emphasises that it is one of the doctor’s duties to help the patients themselves to understand and control their illness. She discusses the patient’s needs with them carefully to determine the most appropriate treatment, with no rush.
As a child, Martta says, she wanted to become a hairdresser, but as she grew older she developed a fascination with the natural sciences and eventually decided that her calling was to be a doctor.
“My dream has been fulfilled beyond my expectations, because as a dermatologist I get to treat skin and its subsidiary organs using scientific methods.”
Martta describes herself as a visual person. “Not many people consider a doctor’s work to be that visual.” An acute sense of observation helps to reach the right diagnosis. Martta finds it particularly rewarding to be able to find a diagnosis for something that has been bothering a patient for a long time, and find the right treatment to improve their quality of life.
Please note that for a first visit related to hair loss and for all procedures a 40 minutes time slot should be reserved – so book two consecutive 20-minute sessions.
