How it works
The available specialist competence includes back, neck and knee problems, disc-related conditions, nerve-related pain, SI joint problems, sports and overuse injuries, and long-term musculoskeletal pain. Dr. Masoud Sorkhabi has more than 20 years of clinical experience. Visits can be in person in Gothenburg (2,000 SEK) or a digital video visit from anywhere in Sweden (1,000 SEK). You receive information about a possible appointment and the current price before deciding whether to proceed.
Specialistdirekt is an intermediary service, not a healthcare provider. Medical assessment and treatment are provided by the receiving clinic.
When to seek emergency care instead
Specialistdirekt is not an emergency service. Call 112 for life-threatening conditions and seek immediate care for, for example:
- a suspected fracture or major trauma to the head, neck or back
- sudden severe back pain with numbness around the groin, difficulty urinating or loss of bladder or bowel control
- sudden or rapidly increasing weakness or numbness in an arm or leg
- an arm or leg that becomes cold, pale or numb after an injury
- joint or back pain together with high fever and a strongly affected general condition
If in doubt, call 1177 for health care advice (in Swedish), available around the clock.
Highly rated orthopedists in Gothenburg – how to compare
Dr. Masoud Sorkhabi had a public patient rating of 4.9 out of 5 when last checked on 4 August 2026. The rating applies to the doctor conducting the appointment, not to Specialistdirekt. Patient ratings do not guarantee a particular medical outcome. When comparing orthopedists, weigh several things at once: the score and how recent it is, specialist competence and experience, relevance to your symptoms, a transparent price, and a clear division of medical responsibility.
Do I need a referral? Self-paying vs region-funded care
In Sweden, a remiss means a referral. As a self-paying (private) patient you generally do not need a referral to request an appointment with the connected orthopedic capacity in Gothenburg. Region-funded (public) care usually requires a referral from a health centre (vårdcentral), and if you want to use private health insurance, the insurer normally needs to approve the case first.
Self-paying means you pay for the visit privately; the Swedish high-cost protection (högkostnadsskydd) does not normally apply to a private visit. Practical details such as payment and whether a Swedish personal number (personnummer) is needed are confirmed as part of the booking process with the clinic. You do not need to be a Swedish resident to send a request – visitors and newcomers are welcome to ask.

Dr. Masoud Sorkhabi's prices are fixed and shown before you book: an in-person visit in Gothenburg is 2,000 SEK and a digital video visit is 1,000 SEK. A digital visit can be booked from anywhere in Sweden and suits a first assessment; some problems may need an in-person visit.
