About the doctor

Careful ultrasound, never rushed

Colleagues value Natalia Chirkova for her thoroughness, and patients for her kind attitude. She never rushes and explains in detail what is visible on the screen, so after the appointment you are left with a clear picture rather than a set of medical terms.

Most often people come to her with joint and muscle concerns: athletes, people who spend long hours at a computer, and anyone troubled by knee, shoulder or neck pain. She also examines soft tissues, the thyroid and the abdominal organs.

She works with a General Electric Vivid T8 machine with a high-frequency L8–18i probe, which gives a detailed image even in hard-to-reach areas.

Appointment

How the scan goes

Ultrasound works with sound waves, not X-rays: there is no radiation.

    The scan

    The doctor glides a probe over your skin with warm gel — it feels like a light massage.

    Result

    The report is discussed right after the scan, and you can ask the doctor questions.

What to bring? Previous ultrasound, X-ray and MRI results, test results, doctors' reports and discharge summaries from medical institutions. This helps the doctor assess your situation more accurately and see how it has changed over time.

As often as needed. Doctors recommend an ultrasound once a year even without complaints: many changes stay silent for a long time but show up on screen well before any symptoms — like a regular check-up.

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.

Olga KravaleGoogle review

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.
