Helping patients based on my personal experienceunder-line

Royal Doctors originated in 1999; the background to it is a personal story.
Founder Joris Vanvinckenroye was born in 1976 with a serious deformity affecting his right foot. The Belgian doctors’ diagnosis was drastic: amputation of his right lower leg and lifelong dependence on a wheelchair.

‘Fortunately, my parents did not simply accept this drastic diagnosis. They sought more information and asked a specialist in Paris for a second opinion, because the technology for medical prostheses was far more advanced in France. As a result, my right lower leg was spared and I can now walk, cycle and even run using additional prostheses. That second opinion changed my life fundamentally!

‘With Royal Doctors, I now want to help others make the right medical choices. I also want to relieve patients of their concerns as much as possible. My parents had to find the right information, doctors and hospitals for an independent second opinion on their own; Royal Doctors takes on all these tasks. As a result, our clients quickly receive a clear and reliable answer to all their medical questions and concerns.’

It is unacceptable in 2024 that patients with medical complaints should be unable to obtain prompt access to the right care. It can take weeks or even months to be seen by a medical specialist.

The budget for healthcare has doubled over the last ten years, but the number of people suffering with long-term health conditions has also doubled in the same period.

Has healthcare really improved, or have we as patients become victims of an increasingly complex medical world with more doctors, more treatments and more regulations?

Royal Doctors’ mission is ‘Connecting People to the Best Care’. This means that we want to provide the best solution for each patient at all times, whether this is an initial consultation with the right specialist, a virtual second opinion in consultation with your own doctor or the resolution of a complex medical case.

No challenge is too big for Royal Doctors.

We consistently think in terms of opportunities, not limitations.

We try to have an impact on people’s lives by:

  • Acting as a guide in a complex medical world = First Opinion Consult
  • Detecting misdiagnoses and optimising treatments = Second Opinion Service
  • Finding solutions to long-term complex medical issues = Complex Care Solutions

There are currently more than ten million people who can use Royal Doctors through their health insurance or income insurance.

From 2023, Royal Doctors is also increasingly working with employers. Employers benefit from ensuring that employees stay healthy and can continue to function optimally.
Royal Doctors is an attractive employee benefit that allows employees to use our full range of services for free.

Finally, I would like to thank you for reading our mission statement, which is a bit more than just a slogan or a quote.
You will understand that my personal story is an enormous motivation to manage the team of doctors, nurses and sales, marketing and administration staff to achieve our mission every day.
