Will I always be seen by the same physician at my appointments?

As we are a teaching hospital, at a general consultation you will usually first be seen by an assistant (a junior doctor), a specialised nurse, or a co-assistant / trainee (a student in training to become a doctor). This person will first have a general conversation with you, in which your symptoms and state of health are verified, and perform a clinical examination. The findings will then be checked with the supervisor, after which the decision will be discussed with you. At important discussions, the supervisor will be present. If you come for a private consultation, the supervisor will always be present. Supplements are sometimes charged for a private consultation. Please refer to the UZ Leuven website for details.
