Please be aware that there is no Emergency Department at our practice. At Kinderarts Dichtbij we provide outpatient pediatric care only.If your child has an urgent medical problem for which he or she is not being treated at Kinderarts Dichtbij, please contact your general practitioner or a local hospital.
Consultations can be both face-to-face and digital. We will take your preferences into account as much as possible. In some cases, the pediatrician can even do a consultation at your home. Please ask your pediatrician for the possibilities.
At Kinderarts Dichtbij, waiting times are short. Usually the firts appointment is within one week after referral.
We take more time than usual for the consultations. There is no rush.
We stay in close contact with other health care professionals involved with your child.
Let op: Kinderarts Dichtbij is een polikliniek. Er is bij ons geen dagbehandeling of spoedeisende hulp en we kunnen dus geen acute zorg leveren. Bij spoedeisende problemen moet contact worden opgenomen met een algemeen ziekenhuis.
The KinderCoPoli is a unique collaboration between pediatrician and pediatric physical therapists, and will be an additional service at Kinderarts Dichtbij. This way, we believe to provide efficient and complementary care. With the financial help of the municipality of Rotterdam, we will be able to offer this service soon. Read more on our news page.

If you have insurance at a Dutch health insurer, and your child has a referral letter from your GP or other doctor, the care at Kinderarts Dichtbij is covered by your insurance. You pay nothing extra.
The payment process is a little different from the hospitals. In The Netherlands, there are fixed rates for general pediatric care. That means that Kinderarts Dichtbij charges the same rates as the hospitals do for pediatric care. Three to four months after the first consultation at Kinderarts Dichtbij, you will receive an invoice from us. You can easily send this invoice to your health insurer (online or with an app). After reimbursement by the insurer, you may make the payment to Kinderarts Dichtbij. This means that you have just a little bit extra administration, but we will make your effort worth while. Please read the payment terms here.
If you need any help during the payment process, please let us know. Your pediatrician will be happy to help.
If you have health care insurance at Zilveren Kruis, FBTO, Interpolis, De Friesland, ONVZ, VGZ, or Zorg en Zekerheid, we are able to send the invoice directly to your insurer. Other labels of ONVZ and VGZ are:
