About the doctor
Anna Smagina works with adult patients who have, or are suspected of having, an inflammatory, autoimmune or other rheumatological condition.
Most often patients come to her with joint pain and swelling, morning stiffness, or test results that point to a possible rheumatological condition.
At the appointment, the doctor asks in detail about your symptoms and reviews your examination results. If needed, she orders additional tests — to make an accurate diagnosis and choose treatment.
Many rheumatological conditions are chronic, so not only a correct diagnosis matters but also regular follow-up: it helps to adjust treatment in good time. Anna combines accurate diagnostics with individually tailored treatment and continually improves her qualifications.

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.
