Dr. Boris Lapidus
Cardiologist
Working languages: Estonian, Russian, English, Finnish
I am an interventional cardiologist with 15 years of experience. My main focus is on minimally invasive procedures on the heart and its arteries. Alongside hospital work, I consistently contribute to outpatient care both in Estonia and Finland, as I firmly believe that the best treatment for serious illnesses is prevention.
Communication between doctor and patient is very important to me. I listen carefully to what the patient says, explain as clearly as possible, and strive to provide support in finding the best solutions. I highly value my patients’ time and do my best to provide comprehensive answers already during the first consultation.
As a sports enthusiast, I understand the drive for achievement. As a person, I value purposefulness, self-discipline, and both physical and mental endurance. I am glad to support my patients in finding their individual balance. My work and life experience have taught me that holistic care of one’s health is the key to living a full and meaningful life. Come, let’s talk, and find the best way forward for you.
