Practice details
Welcome to the doccs Eindhoven Airborne GP practice!
From January 2025, we have merged with the former Vaartbroek GP practice to form a single GP practice. Together with our team of assistants, practice support staff, nurse practitioners and GPs, we strive to provide you with the best possible care.
At our practice, we place great importance on personalised care. As we have many patients and four GPs, we organise care in a way that ensures you get to know your GP better and your GP gets to know you. That is why our patients are divided between two GP pairs:
- Ms van de Koevering and Ms Schaëfer
They will continue to provide care for patients who were already registered with doccs Eindhoven Airborne. - Ms Koelewijn and Ms Thomassen
They will take over the care of patients from the Vaartbroek GP practice.
We work together as one team, but this division helps us to keep care personal and manageable.
Within our team, we work alongside practice nurses to manage chronic conditions (such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and respiratory conditions), vulnerable elderly patients and mental health issues.

For privacy reasons, the reception desk is not the most suitable place for making appointments. We kindly ask you to make appointments by telephone or via our healthcare portal, Uw Zorg Online, wherever possible.
Healthcare Portal: Uw Zorg Online
By logging in to our healthcare portal, you have direct access to your GP medical records. Within this portal, you can ask a question to one of our healthcare staff, book an appointment, view your test results and renew your long-term medication. You can find more information about the Uw Zorg Online portal here.
To create an account on the healthcare portal, each patient needs their own personal email address. Parents can also create an account for their children using their own email address and DigiD.

Information about appointments
You can book an appointment via Uw Zorg Online or by calling the doctor’s assistant. She will always ask you a few questions to assess your situation and provide you with appropriate advice based on this.
You can request a home visit by telephone before 10.30 am; it will take place between 12.00 pm and 2.00 pm.
Repeating medication
You can request a repeat prescription via Uw Zorg Online or via the prescription line (press 2 on the menu). This is only available for medication you take on a long-term basis. For this medication, we use annual prescriptions wherever possible. This means that we review your chronic medication annually; sometimes this involves an appointment during consultation hours for a physical examination and/or additional blood tests. Arrangements regarding this will be made with you when the annual prescription is issued. The prescriptions are usually dispensed by your pharmacy every 3 months.
Urine test
If you are experiencing urinary problems, please hand in your urine sample to the receptionist at the desk before 10.30 am. Next to the desk, you will find a cupboard containing a questionnaire. Please fill this in, place it in the white tray together with the urine sample, and hand it to the receptionist.
Driving licence medical examinations
If you require a medical examination due to your age (over 75), we can arrange this for you. To do so, please first complete the questionnaire you receive from the CBR. You will then be notified by the CBR regarding which examination you require. If this examination may be carried out by a GP, you can book an appointment via the receptionist. The GP will carry out the required examinations and send the results to the CBR. The CBR will ultimately decide on your driving eligibility.
Information about health and illness
We would also like to draw your attention to the website Thuisarts.nl. This is a website created by general practitioners where you can find reliable information about your health and illness. Here you will get information about what you can do yourself with certain complaints and when you should contact your GP.
Information about costs
In the Netherlands, general practitioners can only bill directly to Dutch health insurance companies.
Do you have Dutch health insurance? Then the care provided by a GP is paid for by your health insurance company, including the services provided by doccs and the use of the doccs app. Depending on your health care needs, costs may be deducted from your deductible. For more information on this, please refer to your insurer.
Are you not insured at all or do you have international health insurance? Then you pay for your consultation with us and you can submit it to your insurer yourself. You will receive an invoice from us after payment which you can use for your claim. We also send you an invoice for contact via the doccs app. You can then arrange payment online, or pay the invoice when you are in practice within a short time after that. For more information, take a look here.
We would like to remind you of our ‘No-show policy’. Click here for more information.
No medical certificates issued to municipalities by general practitioners (from www.ordz.nl)
“If the municipality requires a medical certificate in connection with the provision of a facility or an emergency, you can contact a municipal health service doctor or medical advisor (doctor) contracted by the municipality. If necessary, that doctor may, with the patient’s consent, request factual information from the general practitioner or other treating physician.
Municipalities cannot ask citizens to have certain medical certificates (which contain an opinion on the (medical) (in)ability to do certain things) completed or signed by their GP. For example, whether someone is able to work, drive a car, go to school or is entitled to a parking permit or adapted living space. In accordance with the guidelines of the KNMG, a treating physician does not issue a medical statement about his own patient.”
