About GP Bosschieter
Hi, my name is Art. Bon vivant, outdoors, tennis enthusiast. I live in Amstelveen with my wife and two young daughters.
In 2011 I completed the Medicine Programme at the VU University. Then I worked for 2 years for the dermatological Center Oosterwal in Alkmaar, the city where I come from and grew up. There I learned a lot about the skin and its conditions. And I still reap the benefits: in practice I meet people with skin problems every day.
Although I think dermatology is a wonderful specialty, I started my GP training in Leiden in 2013. The reason for my switch? As a GP you build up a relationship of trust with your patient. You get to know the story behind the human being. I think that really adds value to the profession!
I graduated in 2016. Subsequently, I gained experience as an acting GP in various practices and at various locations: from the head of North Holland to Rotterdam-South. And since August 2018 in the practice on the Amstelkade, then still owned by Doctor Prins.
Although I still have a warm heart for every practice, it really felt like coming home here. The flair, charm and cosiness of the people around here suit me well! I did not have to think long about whether I wanted to take over the practice of Doctor Prins after his retirement – in October 2020.
What do I find important as a GP and as a person? Quality of life. That people get the right care in the right place. And that they do not hesitate to ask me anything they want, I know few taboos.
