Summary of the website of Dietician Moniek Westerman

If you'd like to consult a Dietician in the English Language, you are most welcome to make an appointment with me. I'd also be happy to answer any questions about how this 'works' in the Dutch Health Service. Please let me know!

My name is Moniek Westerman - I've had my own Dietetic Practice in Groningen for more than 15 years. I'm Registered according to the Dutch regulations (Kwaliteitsregister Paramedici) which guarantees that, after the initial Diploma-training of 4 years, a five-yearly review takes place on the grounds of further schooling and a certain level of continued experience. Besides this registration, I am also enrolled as a member of the Dutch Dietetic Association (NVD).

Would you like to make an appointment?

In short: you'll need a 'letter of referral' (in Dutch 'verwijsbrief') from your GP or Specialist Consultant. The 'basiszorgverzekering' (the compulsory part of your Dutch Health Insurance) will cover the costs, up to a maximum of 240 minutes (direct time and indirect time). 

The most common reasons for consulting a dietician are: Diabetes, Cardio Vascular Risks (e.g. high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels), weight-problems, malnutrition, oncology, problems like irritable bowel syndrome or stomach pains. Of course, I'd also like to help with any other questions related to food / illness.
