When my young son Thomas was diagnosed with a brain tumour our entire world collapsed. The doctors proposed starting radiation therapy immediately. Knowing that brain damage is one of the risks associated with this type of treatment, we decided to appeal to Royal Doctors for a second opinion. Royal Doctors arranged for a consultation at a renowned hospital in Germany. This hospital proposed proton therapy; a treatment that was not available in Belgium or the Netherlands at that time. We are so incredibly grateful that we were able to apply to Royal Doctors for help. Our son is now completely cured.

Two months after a fall in the Waalse Pijl cycling race I continued to suffer from pain in my knee. The physicians of my cycling team were unable to make a diagnosis and my knee kept hurting. This meant that I could no longer cycle. I appealed to Royal Doctors for help. They scheduled a consultation for me with two top-class physicians, within three days. In less than a week, the pain was completely gone because they had finally identified the cause of the complaint.

I had lost all confidence in the medical world. Royal Doctors analysed my medical situation and quickly brought me into contact with the right specialist. As a result, the right diagnosis could be made and a suitable treatment initiated. Thanks to Royal Doctors, I can now spend time with my grandchildren as energetically as before.

I had a cerebral aneurysm in a place that was very difficult to operate. I consulted Royal Doctors because I was looking for a specialist for whom this operation would not be a problem. Thanks to Royal Doctors a risky operation could be avoided and I was able to recover quickly.

Thanks to Royal Doctors I was able to come into contact with the very best thorax surgeon immediately. This resulted in a bypass operation during which my chest did not need to be opened. Thanks to this fast and efficient referral my rehabilitation took only two weeks instead of four months.

A few years ago I was diagnosed with Diabetes Type 1. As a professional triathlete this news came as a big shock. I contacted Royal Doctors and that was the best thing I could have done.
