I started my career as physiotherapist and afterwards I started Medical School at the University of Amsterdam. Subsequently, I started my orthopedic training at the AMC. During my time there, I gained a lot of experience with prosthetics: hip, knee, resurfacing of the hip and ankle prosthetics. Until March 2009 I worked as an orthopedic surgeon at the Diakonessehuis Utrecht/Zeist. I specialized in sports orthopedics and more specifically in the treatment of sports injuries to the ankle and the knee. In 2006 I was promoted to the UvA in the diagnostics and treatment of acute ankle injuries. From 2009 onwards I worked in the Amstelland Hospital in Amstelveen and in the middle of 2017 I was eager to get started with ACIBADEM as an orthopedic surgeon.
Specialty/areas of interest
