I have been working at ACIBADEM as an internist since January 2019. In 2014 I completed my training as an internist in acute medicine at the VUmc. In previous years I have worked in various hospitals in the Netherlands, both in the outpatient clinic and in the emergency department. Within my profession, I enjoy the contact with my patients the most. My goal is therefore to choose the best possible treatment, together with each patient, that suits the situation in question. In addition, I work together with the AmsterdamUMC location VUmc to investigate and help women with complaints that may be related to silicone.
At the moment, Dr. Beekman is on sabbatical and is therefore not available. As soon as she returns to work, this will be updated on the website.
