Dr. Barbara Vercauteren is a Belgian-trained Consultant in Family Medicine and a member of the Belgian Board, Ordre des Médecins / Orde der Artsen. She graduated as a physician from KU Leuven in Belgium, one of Europe’s most prestigious research universities.

Before relocating to Dubai with her family in 2016, Dr. Vercauteren worked as a Specialist in Family Medicine at various clinics in Belgium. Since then, she has become a well-established member of the medical community in Dubai, bringing years of local experience to her practice.

“I believe every individual should have a regular doctor, especially in a fast-paced city like Dubai. A continuous doctor-patient relationship allows the physician to provide personalized care, supported by comprehensive knowledge of the patient’s medical history.

Maintaining a complete medical history is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. It enhances patient care, outcomes, and overall satisfaction. The family doctor’s role includes coordinating referrals to specialists and integrating their feedback. By taking a long-term view of a patient’s health, a family doctor supports the patient’s overall wellbeing.”
