My career as an internist started in the hematology department of the AMC, and I also worked in several smaller hospitals abroad and in the Netherlands. I have gained broad experience in my profession and nowadays consider myself mainly as a general internist. I try to listen carefully to the patient story and not just rely on the laboratory and other diagnostic results. Lifestyle medicine and making the patient partly responsible for his or her well-being, where possible, are the basic principles of the profession for me. What appeals to me in Acibadem is the combination of a modern, well-equipped hospital and the still human dimension with short lines.
