“I grew up in the Netherlands, where I was trained as an Ophthalmologist and Oculoplastic and Orbital Surgeon. I practiced for a decade in the Netherlands before moving to Spain. The combination of my Dutch training and pragmatism and the Mediterranean warmth and approachability, make for a very pleasant patient experience.”
Mr. van der Veen works as a senior oculoplastic and orbital consultant at the Barraquer Ophthalmology Center in Barcelona and has a private consultation at Turo Park Clinics in Barcelona and in Utrecht. If you are looking to have cosmetic or functional eyelid surgery done in a minimally invasive fashion by an expert in the field, do not hesitate to contact us. Mr. van der Veen will be pleased to receive you and speaks fluent English, Dutch and Spanish.
We always strive for short waiting lists and personalised, natural results.
