As an orthopedic surgeon, I am specialized in the surgical and conservative treatment of spinal disorders. In 2017 I started a Spine fellowship at the UMC Utrecht. In the years that followed, I was able to further expand my expertise in the (minimally invasive) treatment of degenerative spine pathology such as hernia, stenosis and spondylolisthesis. I have been working at Acibadem since January 2024. It inspires me to work together in a multidisciplinary way. By paying attention you increase quality, safety and efficiency. The short lines within Acibadem ensure a pleasant and collegial working environment and creates a high degree of patient friendliness.
