I completed my neurology training at LUMC in 2013. I have been trained and have worked in various hospitals, each with its own areas of focus and working methods, which allowed me to develop into a versatile neurologist. Since 2018, I have also been a somnologist, and I previously worked with great enthusiasm at MC Slotervaart, including in the Sleep-Wake Center.
I gained research experience during several research internships and also hold a degree in Medical Biology. I enjoy practicing neurology in its full breadth in a pleasant environment, and I have always been drawn to the diagnostic puzzle of this field, where much can often be learned from the patient history and neurological examination alone. I have always found the brain and nervous system extremely fascinating.
Currently, I work with great pleasure at Acibadem. I value a patient-centered approach, with a focus on personal attention. I appreciate short waiting times for outpatient clinics and additional diagnostics, as well as the close collaboration with doctors from other specialties. I work in a friendly and enthusiastic team.
