Clear overview of your condition
Are you looking for the best possible care for your vascular surgical problem? Orton is your choice in Finland. Vascular diseases can be frightening. They range from cosmetic concerns to life-threatening conditions, and those affected cannot always judge how serious the situation is. Sometimes a dangerous condition causes no symptoms at all – and sometimes, even when symptoms are present, it may be wisest not to intervene.
With me, you will have access to both the most up-to-date scientific evidence and over 25 years of my experience in university-level specialist care. Each case is assessed calmly and thoroughly. The goal is not only to identify the correct diagnosis, but to understand the whole picture and make treatment decisions that are right for you.
I treat all types of vascular patients – including those with aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease (outside the heart), rare vascular conditions, tumours involving blood vessels, and venous disorders such as thrombosis, varicose veins, and leg ulcers.
I am personally responsible for your care and investigations, but when needed, I collaborate with a broad network of specialists I’ve worked with for many years. My goal is to give you a clear understanding of your condition and to find the safest and most appropriate solution – calmly, based on evidence, and with the support of long clinical experience.

Education
I have completed basic studies in Kuopio and Gothenburg and specialization studies in Helsinki.
Work experience
My work experience is based on long-term on-call work, working in primary health care and activities, especially in the rehabilitation of working-age people, but also veterans. My experience in spinal cord rehabilitation can also be utilized in many pain and functional problems. Since 2005, I have been involved in top sports related to nutrition, body management and recovery themes. As a result of this cooperation, both Olympic and World Championship medals have been achieved.
My special expertise
In connection with musculoskeletal symptoms and accidents, my special expertise is the restoration and maintenance of exercise and functional capacity, as well as pre- and post-operative rehabilitation planning. My ways of working essentially include listening to, understanding and motivating the client. The results are created in collaboration with other colleagues, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and other necessary experts, with the client being an active factor and a success. The process often utilizes nutrition as part of rehabilitation.
In pain and dysfunction, my special expertise is in pelvic, back (neck, shoulder, chest and lumbar) and shoulder ailments. In upper and lower limb problems, I aim to constantly develop myself in my field of expertise as well.
Lecture and training are also pleasing to me in terms of learning and development.
I am active in school riding, I occasionally do navigating and I run / ski, I also practice golf. Gardening, berry picking and culture are also of interest and activities of mine.

I work at HUS as the department head of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Diseases. I treat patients requiring orthognathic surgery, specifically performing surgeries related to jaw alignment issues. Corrective surgeries for jaw alignment affect not only the patient’s bite but also their appearance and breathing.
I have been using and developing computer-assisted planning for jaw surgeries since 2011 and regularly lecture on the topic at international conferences. Computer-assisted planning improves the predictability of the treatment. It not only corrects the bite but also better takes into account factors related to appearance and breathing.
It is of utmost importance to me that my patients are at least as satisfied with the treatment outcome as I am as the operating surgeon.
