Personal care, made easy
Spaarne Huisartsen is the new practice in Haarlem that takes a different approach. You can easily book appointments directly with your GP. We’re here for everyone, young and old. We want everyone to feel welcome.
Our practices in Haarlem
Two locations in Haarlem, each with three GPs. Not a large organization – but small-scale, personal care.
Choose the location close to home: City Center or Schalkwijk. The same GPs, the same familiar place. And when needed? All doctors think along with you.
How our practice works
Easy contact with your GP
Chat with your doctor
Reach a doctor straight away — no assistant in between.
Often an answer within minutes, during opening hours. Medical or practical — just ask.
In-person appointment
Easily book an appointment yourself, online via the portal. Tell us briefly what it’s about, so we’re well prepared.
Schedule your appointment whenever suits you.
By phone
Call the practice and leave a message. We’ll listen to it and call you back.
Our approach
Personal care, made easy
For you, at every stage of life
Whether you’re 8 or 80 – we’re here for you. From school stress to work pressure, from pregnancy to retirement. We think along with you and help where needed.
Of course, it can happen that you become ill. That’s when we look for ways to help you get better. And when healing is no longer possible, we ensure you feel as good as possible. Through personal contact, we know your story and care about what you’re going through.
Staying healthy is our goal
Of course we want to cure diseases. But even better, we want to work on your health. A large part of all complaints and illnesses are caused by personal factors. So you have a lot of influence on your own health.
Simple changes in your lifestyle can ensure that you have more energy again, need fewer medications, or even prevent diseases.
Personal care that works
We guide you forward and stand ready to help when you need us. Each GP brings their own area of expertise.
We work with a positive outlook and focus on solutions. Our goal is to make you feel better.

“GP care can be so much more enjoyable. That’s why I started Spaarne Huisartsen.”
In 2023, I started Spaarne Huisartsen with great enthusiasm. I truly believe that GP care can be so much better and more enjoyable! A GP practice should be a pleasant place where people like to come and where good care is central.
Through direct contact with all patients, I know what’s happening at home and can help immediately when needed. That’s what I find beautiful about our profession.
After my studies at VU University in Amsterdam, I first worked in hospitals – as a physician-researcher in paediatric surgery and later in surgery at NWZ and Spaarne Gasthuis hospitals. I also worked for a period in psychiatry. As a locum GP, I worked in many different practices and that’s where I saw it: GP care can really be so much better, more enjoyable and easier.
Available City Centre: Tuesday, Thursday. Schalkwijk: Wednesday
Areas of interest: Surgery, mental health complaints and palliative care

“Everyone is different, that’s what makes the job so enjoyable.”
My work as a GP gives me so much pleasure! Quality and personal approach are central to me. Everyone is different – that’s what makes the work so beautiful.
I strongly believe that innovation can make GP care more personal and easier. As a doctor, I therefore like to work with the most current knowledge. Before becoming a GP, I gained experience in dermatology, cosmetic medicine, pharmacology and psychiatry. Whether you come with minor or major complaints – I’m happy to help you.
Available: Tuesday, Friday
Areas of interest: Surgery, dermatology and gynaecology

“Personal contact and guiding people through all phases of their lives.”
I’ve been working with great pleasure as a GP for over 8 years. After my medical studies in Amsterdam, I first gained experience in obstetrics and gynaecology – there I discovered how valuable it is to take time for patients.
What appeals to me most about GP care? The personal contact and being able to guide people through all phases of their lives. I like to see you as a person, not just as a patient, and focus on what you need. Together we look for answers – based on mutual respect and trust.
My particular interest lies in gynaecology, minor surgery and end-of-life care. Fortunately, as a GP we can often answer many questions together, although referral is sometimes necessary. After all, every situation is unique.
Available: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday
Areas of interest: Gynaecology

“It gives me great satisfaction to work together with you on preventing health problems.”
With great pleasure, I’ve been working as a GP since 2019. Before taking this step, I gained valuable experience in surgery, orthopaedics, neurology, paediatrics and urology.
Besides helping with specific complaints, my passion lies in lifestyle medicine. It gives me great satisfaction to work together with you on preventing health problems.
After three years in beautiful New Zealand, I’m now ready to help you in our new practice on Europaweg. I look forward to meeting you!
Available: Monday, Thursday, Friday
Areas of interest: Musculoskeletal system, preventive care, emergency complaints and minor procedures

“Together towards the best solution”
After my medical degree in Amsterdam, I gained valuable experience in surgery, urology and acute psychiatry. This broad background helps me look at complaints from different perspectives.
What makes this profession so special is the long-term contact where I can guide people from birth to the end of life. No day is the same – every patient has their own story and requires a personal approach.
It’s important to me that you truly feel heard. I like to explore together which steps you can take to improve your health and daily wellbeing, tailored to your situation.
Available: Wednesday (Schalkwijk), Thursday (City Centre), Friday (City Centre)
Areas of interest: Minor procedures, urgent complaints and urology

“Personal attention and empathy”
After 9 years as a research nurse at Amsterdam UMC, I joined Spaarne Huisartsen. Here I apply my experience where it really matters: direct care in our own neighbourhood.
In oncology, I guided patients through complex treatment pathways. Working with people in vulnerable moments taught me how valuable personal attention and empathy are. As a practice nurse, I combine patient-centred care with prevention of chronic conditions.
Available: Monday, Thursday, Friday

“Building trust and making real connections”
As a Mental Health Practice Nurse at Spaarne Huisartsen, I bring my experience as a psychiatric nurse from Spaarne Gasthuis hospital. There I supported people with depression, anxiety disorders, grief processing and eating disorders – complex situations that taught me to adapt quickly and approach each situation with an open mind.
In the GP practice, I can support people at an early stage – preventively and accessibly. Instead of dealing with acute problems, I pick up signals before they become bigger. In a personal setting where we look together at what you need.
Mental health consultations are always at Schalkwijk location.
Available: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday

“I believe in the new approach.”
As a practice nurse and later practice manager, I saw the increasing demand for care and how GP practices became overburdened. That calls for a fresh approach.
Throughout all those years, I’ve seen how valuable it is to be conscious about your health. I believe in our vision: giving patients more control over their own health, while providing good care where it’s truly needed.

“Getting everything running smoothly – that’s what energises me”
For many years, I’ve worked with great pleasure as a doctor’s assistant and medical secretary in various GP practices. What appeals to me most? Organising and ensuring everything runs smoothly. I love supporting my colleagues so they can focus completely on what they do best.
