Team

We work as an experienced team

Our holistic approach at the interface of health, attractiveness and quality of life is also reflected in our team. As owners of Rivr, we value and complement each other, learn from each other's expertise, and are always in close contact with each other. We have been working together as a well-rehearsed team for years.

This not only benefits us, but you first and foremost. Because in such a positive working environment we can achieve great things.

We humans have existed for over 300,000 years, but over the last four generations our life expectancy has doubled. To a certain extent, we have been given a second life. No other development in modern times has changed our lives so fundamentally and that has consequences: Life has become a creative process, always in motion and in flux. More and more often we have the choice and ask ourselves: How do we want to live? Because living longer is one thing, quality of life is another.

Profile

As three surgeons and physicians with a total of 7 specialties, we have more than 55 years of combined medical experience. We refute the stereotype of the doctor as a lone fighter.

Each one of us is strong and competent in his specialties, but together we make Rivr's offer so unique. We discuss cases with each other, make relevant decisions after detailed discussion and even operate as a team. However, your physician always remains in the main responsibility.

This has above all advantages for you as a patient: By operating together, operation times are shortened, which in turn has a positive effect on the anaesthetic load on the body. Safety also increases, as each one of us is under constant quality control by the others. In addition, they find the neutral second opinion, which is relevant for so many sustainable decisions, directly in our company.
