About the doctor
For many years Andrey Levin has worked at the crossroads of two fields: traumatology and vascular ultrasound diagnostics. At Grand Medical his main speciality is duplex scanning of the leg vessels and Doppler ultrasound of the arm vessels.
Most of his clinical experience is in traumatology and orthopaedics: treating complex soft-tissue injuries, burns, frostbite, thermal injuries and electrical injuries. He worked as a trauma and burn surgeon at Biķernieki Hospital (RAKUS) and the State Burn Centre, and later headed that centre.
This experience helps him look at a problem more broadly. The doctor takes into account how circulation problems and musculoskeletal conditions are linked, so his vascular examinations are based on an understanding of the whole clinical picture.
In his work Andrey Levin follows modern ultrasound diagnostic standards and pays particular attention to the accuracy of the examination and the clinical interpretation of the results. He also teaches at Rīga Stradiņš University.

Questions and answers
The examination shows how blood moves through the arteries and veins: whether the vessels are open, and whether there are any narrowings, clots or problems with the venous valves.
This helps to find the cause of your symptoms and decide whether treatment is needed, or, if treatment has already been prescribed, to see how it is working.
A standard ultrasound shows an image of the tissues. Duplex scanning adds a Doppler mode, which measures the speed and direction of blood flow.
The doctor sees both the structure of the vessel and how the blood flows through it at the same time.
No. The examination is painless, involves no radiation and needs no recovery time — you can go straight back to your usual activities afterwards.

Google reviews
I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I was able to book — especially considering I had only been in Latvia for a couple of days. Very convenient.
I have had ultrasound scans in many places, but I have never met such an attentive and professional approach. They explained everything, answered my questions, and you can feel that they care about the patient.
