As someone new to chiropractic treatment and receiving it for the first time outside my home country (I'm originally from the Philippines and now living in Finland), I really appreciated how well the chiropractor explained everything clearly. The treatment was done with great care, and I felt comfortable and well taken care of throughout. Highly recommended for first-timers and anyone looking for quality chiropractic care!

I have endometriosis I have been I excruciating pains for the last 3.5 months now…read more I have been to hospital here in Finland and also in Estonia for 7 times all together in that 3.5 months because the pain gets so bad I pass out ect, had a referral made by my primary care doctor at tervesasema AND THEY JUST CANCELLED IT?? (not the first time they have just cancelled my appointment, usually I get no explanation even) saying that they don't see a need for me to go there as it's not so urgent.. sooo do I have to wait until I'm unable to live with it and I get told once again that Hysterectomy is my only option if I can't live with it? I'm not even 30 years old yet we are planning to have a kid but I keep getting dismissed by the one place where I could get checked if it's even possible with my conditio. How can medical professionals be so f*cking ignorant it's someones life we are talking about here.

Naistenklinikka's maternity ward and accompanying medical professionals are among the best I've…read moreencountered anywhere: they beat out Kaiser and UCSF in San Francisco any day. They are better than the doctors I have seen at Katiloopisto, too. Having to go there for an urgent matter, I was treated with such kindness, warmth, respect, professionalism, and care that I am incredibly happy we'll be having our baby there later this year. Starting with an urgent phone call to them, I was spoken to calmly and respectfully, I was met by medical staff who knew who I was and were expecting my arrival. I was treated professionally, kindly, and with warmth by outstanding midwives and student midwives who were friendly and put me at ease immediately. They gently but confidently got me all hooked up to the gadgets that I needed to be hooked up to, assured me that they'd be right there the whole time, and did not "forget" about me while I lay in a hospital bed awaiting test results. The doctor was very, very thorough: even though my tests came back ok, he ordered further testing just to be safe. The doctor I saw was perhaps one of the best doctors I've had the pleasure of being seen by ever. Anywhere. Exuding calm confidence and clearly skilled and sure of what he was doing, I never once doubted his expertise or assessment of my situation. With a great sense of humor (rare here) and a very supportive demeanor, I left knowing that I was ok, our baby was ok, and that I could call any time for anything at all and not feel like I'm putting anyone out. When coming from another country, quickly entering a foreign system of care can be intimidating, especially when very different cultural and social norms exist. Naistenklinikka was outstanding: very modern, clean, and still comfortable with what I would call some of the best and most caring medical staff I've encountered at each and every step of the process. Again: from initial phone call to discharge, I was so completely blown away by the treatment I received. I am very happy we'll be welcoming our new roommate into the world here. Lucky us.

Dr. Fan fixed me up for good. She really cares about her patients and did everything she could to…read moreimprove their condition. Before I saw Dr. Fan, what started as a cough in in the middle of August never healed and I got something else which caused awful congestion. The Europe trip I had planned in Feburary came up, and I went to my American Doctors in San Francisco, loaded up with steroids, antihistamine, antibiotics and inhalers, because they couldn't figure out why I was sick. I flew into Europe September 28th, and by then I had been congested for two weeks. By the time I saw Dr. Fan on Oct 4th, in Helsinki, I had gone through 3 flights where my ears wouldn't pop and equalize for hours or days after the flight. I was blowing away a bag of tissues a day, and I was deaf in one ear or the other most of the time. She listened to my case, listened to my pulse, pricked me with acupuncture needles--I had done acupuncture before and for comparison, I could feel these ones being very sensitive and on point. Then she prescribed me herbs to take 3 times a day for 3 days. My congestion was significantly improved right after the session and I could hear for the next several hours. She noted that I was not prepared for the Helsinki weather not dressing warmly for the cold was worsening my case. She offered to lend me some of her clothes since my hotel was very nearby and dropped it off on her day off at my hotel! (Holy! that's something only family would do!) Over the next two days I felt very steady improvement with the herbs, heeding her advice not to drink beer or generally avoiding alcohol, and only drink warm and hot water instead of cold. I returned for one last acupuncture session on Friday. After my last session, I flew to Spain in the afternoon, and for the first time my ears popped when we took off and popped again after landing. I was not in excruciating pain during or after the flight. I flew one more time from Barcelona to Madrid on Monday, and no problem at all. I haven't blew my nose even once today. Dr. Fan did not over promise, she told me that she's addressing the congestion, it should help with the cough and I should feel better after treatment and that's exactly what happened. Since the congestion disappeared, I'm not coughing and wheezing anymore either. I feel healthier today than I've felt since August. I felt very lucky to have met Dr. Fan, and received the most effective and warmly human and personal care I can possibly imagine. Thank you Dr. Fan! You are absolutely amazing and I can't thank you enough!

My grandmother, who is almost 90 yrs old, is one of the most important people in my life. She…read morepractically raised me when I was very young while my mother (who was a single mother) worked around the clock. Approximately 3 years ago, she began to have the onset of dementia (along with other illnesses that come with old age) and, about 1 - 1 1/2 yrs ago, it was no longer safe for her to live by herself. My family started to look around for places for her to stay at and finally decided on Atzalea. This was for a couple reasons - 1) it was close to her home on Kielotie and 2) was one of the best priced ones out while still having quality care (although 4,000 euros a month is still a lot in my opinion). She has been living at Atzalea for over a year now. The caregivers here are amazing. I speak little Finnish (since I grew up in the U.S). and know VERY little about hearing aids and elderly care but that doesn't matter to them. They are very understanding and extremely helpful when I need help moving my grandmother or fix her hearing aid, etc. Some things I don't like : When it's raining or snowing, there's very little for my grandma to do since she doesn't read anymore and doesn't enjoy watching a lot of TV but there's nothing they can really do about that. And sometimes I wish there were more caregivers but, from what I hear, the caregiving sector is typically understaffed and underpaid so I can't complain. Anyway, I'm just happy she's there since I know there are some really wonderful people that work there and will be looking after her. Thank you so much!
