dr Kristel Soonets

General practitioner

Introduction

No online booking for this specialist.

I am a pediatrics resident, and for me, the most important things in a doctor’s work are empathy, trust, and a good connection with the patient. I consider it very important that every patient – especially a child and their family – feels safe and cared for during my appointment. I chose the specialty of pediatrics because I enjoy working with children and their direct and sincere nature.
