When I moved to Brussels six months ago, I didn't really search for a doctor, because "Haha, I'm…read morenot planning to get sick here, haha". Well I did get sick. And searching for a doctor in a foreign country (which is my second home now) when you do not know the medical system, is a tough thing to do. Luckily, my colleague suggested I visit Dr. DeCock, who speaks perfectly English and his office is opened every day from 17:00 to 20:30, which is very convenient. I didn't have to wait long in the waiting room, the doctor greeted me, shook my hand (unimportant detail, I know, but well, that has never happened to me) and suggested a mild treatment before we resort to antibiotics. He informed me thoroughly on how my situation looks and what is the probable development. He gave me all the certificates I needed, understood very quickly that I do not take part in any national health insurance scheme (EU employees bla bla bla...) and I was gone back to bed in 10 minutes. A very welcome help in an uneasy situation.

I went to Dr Bouchlis as Dr Van Osta was busy. I liked very much he took the time to explain…read moreeverything and gave me advises. He was attentive and very professional. I called for my blood results but he was engaged with a patient. However, he called me back when he finished. This is so important that the doctors are nice and you can pay by card!

Unfortunately I got sick. I heard about Dr Thierry Hertoghe in Brussels for Thyroid treatments…read more I saw him back in the days where Dr Hertoghe charges 250-300 Euros. He gave me a long survey to fill before the appointment, and I had a blood test. He was a doctor then. Now, I am highly disappointed with Hertoghe, he lost his conscience for doctoring. All he cares about is making money inflating his fees from €250 to € 3600 Three Thousand & Six Hundred Euros. That is for an hour and half. And worse instead of medical advice and treatments. Hertoghe wasted the session talking about his spirituality. Now the doctor claimed to practise some kind of psychic spirituality in his consultation. Instead of medical treatments, he lectured me with his spiritual ideas. I didn't go for it, and in fact I showed no interest and tried to move the doctor to my medical situation. I wanted him to analyse the blood test results and read the survey form I filled before the appointment. It seems Hertoghe is a partner with Lims Lab. When he sees a failed test or wrong measurement, he says just forget it and move on, the consultation is over. This really seems to be very complicity apparently under the table commissions being earned and probably illegal. And immoral for not revealing it to patients. This appointment cost me €3,600, doctor Hertoghe wasted alot of time speaking about himself and about some kind of psychic spirituality, it is not on my agenda, I was very disappointed and upset. Further Hertoghe gives many medications and formulations that can be purchased only from his several pharmacies in Brussels. Hertoghe makes commision from those specific pharmacies like Flagey Pharmacie and Servais d'Orange pharmacie and that is where most of his patient's business goes, again under the table commissions. Within the appointment doctor Hertoghe made mistakes prescribing me a few contradicting medications. Over prescribing a medication has caused me much trouble with my body. For example, he prescribed me "8 mg of Medrol and Hydrocortisone 40 mg taken together. I have been to other doctors in my hometown and they confirmed the overdose of those contradicting medications Hertoghe prescribed to me has in fact caused me very painful symptoms and inflammation, That is apart from affecting my eyesight. I have medical reports showing that. I contacted doctor Hertoghe about the problems and even sent my medical reports to him. He did not bother to answer me in return. I went in person again to solve this problem, all he said, I made a mistake to combine such a high dose, and I don't know how to solve the inflammation. When a doctor wants to sell his medications so much, but then doesn't want to answer a patient who had severe complications and injury from his over prescribing, this can become a dangerous situation for the unknowing patients. Why didn't the doctor respond? Did he expect another fee for a reply? Is that how he works? Now I can see this doctor Hertoghe has failed in his practice and moral. He is confused with being a psychic. When I look on this website, I see that he goes on seminars in various countries and he is selling his wares and books very much. Something seems wrong here with him as a doctor. He is a sales person. I don't know if Brussels has a medical government to look into this doctor's practices. His work, his charges and medicine prescription should be supervised.

They are private doctors though so get ready for the price! This review was written in 2009.

I'm seeing Dr Bedoret from 2014 and I'm very lucky that I found her medical cabinet. She is a very…read moregood doctor. All the time she gave me the right medical advice for me and my children. Also, my children love to go to her because she is always explaining what is she doing and my boys are very curious and they ask a lot of questions. Nevertheless, she is always explaining, caring and very gentle doctor. When Dr Bedoret was on holidays I had a crazy flu and I went to Dr Giraud from the same medical cabinet, MediWoluwe, and she is very professional and very caring doctor. In my case the flu is becoming infectious and I need antibiotics. Both ladies doctors agreed without asking them to give me this medication even in Belgium all the doctors send you home with paracetamol. So, they are both excellent doctors and excellent persons.

I had a good conversation with the anesthesist (very friendly man) and I discussed the whole procedure with Dr Danau. The surgery mattress was very comfortable (warm). The nurse gave me a pretty feeling. Around 1 pm I was in the recovery room: head professional taped and eyelids covered. 1 hour later I was ready for going home to start with the recovery. I went several times back for follow up (included in the price) eg removal from the band aid, check status, removal from dreads, ... I have no negative points to add : friendly staff and they know their business very well. Location is very good. Enough free parking. I would recommend it to other people.

They are just rude, seem stressed and over-worked, but most of all, they will make sure that you, the patient, will be blamed for it. If you're sick, sorry, you can only call them between 8h and 12h. if you don't manage to get through, you will have to wait until the next day. Most of the times your appointment will postponed with another few days (which is practically impossible if you need a paper to leave work - no understanding from them, no, they won't shy away to tell you 'YOU should understand what a busy life and important job THEY have). You're always put with another doctor, they are not conventioned (screw the poor people) and they will charge you the full rate even if they haven't performed any medical tasks (examination, prescription..) and occupied their time for 5 mins because you had a information question..
