Type of support offered
Independent online video consultations — medication reviews, deprescribing guidance, and second opinions, in English, Dutch, or Portuguese. Educational guidance in coordination with the client's own prescriber; I do not prescribe and do not replace the treating physician.
I am a Dutch physician who trained and worked for nearly a decade as an elderly-care specialist in the Netherlands, where deprescribing became my core work: helping hundreds of patients safely reduce long-term medication regimens — psychiatric, cardiac, pain, and sleep medications — that had grown for years without review. I left conventional practice in December 2020 and now work independently online. I offer medication reviews and taper guidance for individuals, and family consultations for adult children concerned about an over-medicated parent, with a written summary for the parent’s own doctor.

Consultations are online only (worldwide).
