A University of Tartu graduate (1996), he completed his neurology residency in 2001 and led the neurology center at East Tallinn Central Hospital (2006–2021). His PhD, defended in 2019 in collaboration with the University of Tübingen, focused on transcranial brain sonography in Parkinson’s disease. At Confido, he established a new neurology center and now oversees ten specialties.

Prof. Toomsoo is a member of multiple international neurological societies, manages four research grants, and has published over 50 peer-reviewed articles.
