Care offer
Physical and digital GP care
Huisartsenpraktijk Westertoren offers a strong combination of digital and face-to-face healthcare. The digital tools we use are in place to decrease your GP’s workload, leaving them more time to care for you. Of course, our digital tools are no replacement for the personal, human healthcare your GP provides. We believe in digital care where possible and physical care where necessary.
When do you use Quin?
For urgent complaints, always call the emergency line immediately. You use the digital options when you have non-urgent complaints. With the symptom checker you quickly know whether it is necessary to see your doctor. You can also find information from your doctor in the app and keep track of your appointments. Because you chart your health yourself, you know exactly how you're doing.

Regular healthcare
At huisartsenpraktijk Westertoren, we offer good and personal GP care. You are the focus and together we look at what healthcare and treatment suits you best.
Psychosocial care
We all experience periods of adversity. You may be struggling with problems at work or in relationships. Or you may be dealing with drastic events that you are unable to cope with yourself. Or parenting problems or perceived psychological problems with children, such as in the case of divorce or bereavement. For all these issues you can go to the practice for accessible psychological and social care. This is provided by our GGZ practice support workers (POH-GGZ).

Chronic care
Do you have a chronic disorder, such as diabetes, asthma or COPD? Or do you run an increased risk of cardiovascular disease? We pay extra attention to these patients. Practice support staff of the GP Westertoren provide continuous care to treat your condition as well as possible. This is important, because only through this monitoring can we discover whether you are getting the most appropriate treatment. It is also possible to have a heart scan (ECG) made at the Westertoren practice.
Minor procedures
For minor surgery, such as the removal of a mole, additional time is allocated. Appointments are made if this has been decided during the doctor's consultation.
The following procedures are carried out at GP Westertoren Amsterdam:
- Placement of a spiral
- Treatment of ingrown toenail (unguis incarnatus)
- Treatment of warts
- Removal of birthmarks (naevus)
- Removal of fatty lumps (lipomas)
- Removal of blocked sebaceous glands (atheroma cysts)
- Removal of skin protrusion (fibroid)
If tissue is removed, it will be investigated in the Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis (OLVG) in Amsterdam. The result is normally available within 14 days. Afterwards a check-up appointment with the doctor will be made and your stitches will be removed.
