About us

​

In 2013, two fellow students (Sylke and Hannah) started the De Tandem practice in the heart of Laeken. In 2018, we welcomed our third colleague, Willem, and in 2022, Han joined our team. We currently have four permanent doctors and a trainee general practitioner. We live and work in Brussels and feel at home in the fascinating mix of cultures, languages, and people.

De Tandem stands for the doctor-patient relationship: as doctors, we hope to cycle in the same direction as our patients and come up with a good plan together. The road will not always be flat and straight, but detours, hills, and valleys also make for a beautiful landscape. We believe it is important to take time for each person. At Tandem, we are a team: the patients are known to the practice and there are regular consultations, based on current guidelines (evidence-based medicine).  

Our native language is Dutch, and we also speak fluent French and English. You can come to us with any questions or problems concerning health. We provide both acute and chronic care to everyone from 0-122 years of age, regardless of culture, background, gender, or beliefs. we provide support during pregnancy, we care for people in the final stages of life, we see young children, moms & dads, singles, the elderly, young people, travelers, retirees, refugees, artists, civil servants, the self-employed... in other words, everyone. 

Our enthusiasm continued to grow until it became a dream where we could work together with healthcare providers from other disciplines under one roof. And so, in 2021, the Bles practice was born. We hope to continue working together to provide good, high-quality care for everyone in Brussels, with a broad perspective on health and well-being.
