Only the best care is good enough
Efficient medicine is one that is tailor-made for the patient. Personalised healthcare is still seen by many in the medical sector as a long way off. Royal Doctors does not wait to adapt treatment and medication to their clients. For this purpose they call on the greatest specialists at home and abroad. Meet one of the most important consultants in this area.
“Medical science has become ever more complex in the last decades. More insight into the functioning of the human body, combined with readily available fast evolving techniques and means, causes medical science to divide into different specialisations. It makes physicians explore niches. Going along with the trend, I chose to commit myself to retina operations in the field of ophthalmology. I talked about it during international congresses and wrote scientific articles to impart my knowledge. But that does not imply that my vision of suitable treatments immediately filters down to patients and their family doctors. I know from experience that the evolution of the medical profession makes it longer and more difficult to obtain guidance in this maze of sub-sectors and specialisations. Organisations such as Royal Doctors endeavour to smooth the way to personalised healthcare for as many persons as possible. That is why I like to work with them.”
