Herlig Lege/Wonderful Doctor - Even Better for Internationals

1. In comparison to other SiO fastleger, Kathleen Henriksen will not only ask you the standard questions related to your symptoms, but she will also explain why she is asking them as well as provide clear useful information about possible next steps through SiO and its affiliated specialists.

2. Clear explanations of steps, meanings, procedures, etc. to be followed in the Norwegian health care system are rare to receive from other SiO doctors, understandably so with the Norwegian system being second nature and the language barrier; however, with having a direct point of reference to the US and other health care systems, Kathleen Henriksen explains quickly, directly and with ease.

3. If neither English or Norwegian are your first languages or you have trouble answering direct questions on the spot, have a clear understanding of your symptoms and questions in advance of the appointment and perhaps even write them down on paper and bring to the appointment. This will help with the brief time window (15 mins) suggested for appointments and help her to help you.

4. If the appointment goes over the 15 minute time slot, she doesn't immediately cut the appointment short, but makes sure she has asked and answered everything she can.
