As a passionate general practitioner, I welcome you with pleasure from Monday to Friday at the Espace Médical Waterloo. Visits at home or in a nursing home are possible (if it is difficult to travel). I am and will remain a member of the medical profession. It is important that a consultation with a GP takes place in an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust (guaranteed by medical confidentiality). A general practitioner is able to treat 95% of patients' complaints but will not hesitate, if necessary, to refer you to a specialist (cardiologist, pediatrician,...) while continuing to be your health reference person. Most of the time, we go to our family doctor because we are sick and would like to be relieved or cured. However, an essential part of our mission as general practitioners is also to keep you healthy! We all know the old adage: "prevention is better than cure". In the medical world, we call this "prevention". We start by making sure that you are up to date on your vaccinations and any screening that may be required (e.g. breast, colon or prostate cancer). Solutions will be found together so that you can live the healthiest life possible by addressing topics such as a balanced diet, smoking and alcohol cessation, and sports activities. Prevention can be found in a multitude of other forms that depend on each patient: contraception, risks related to the presence of pesticides and endocrine disruptors, maintaining the elderly at home, ... Another important aspect of prevention is that I am continually training in medicine to ensure the rational use of drugs and medical imaging. Finally, I attach great importance to the patient being an actor of his health. Indeed, a patient who is well informed about his disease and his treatments will take better care of himself.
