Doctor Mandjes will be on holiday from 11 to 29 August. During this period, you can temporarily not use the patient portal.
The practice will remain open as usual. For questions or appointments, please call us; you will be helped by our assistants or GP Rosa Broekzitter. All previously made appointments with our practice assistants will continue as usual.
