Practice closed

De Leidse Huisdokters will be closed on Thursday, May 14th, due to Ascension Day. Do you have an urgent medical question that cannot wait? Please contact the after-hours clinic, Huisartsenpost De Limes, location Leiderdorp. The practice will reopen on Friday, May 15th, at 8:00 AM for regular care.

The practice is very busy around the May holidays. During this period, we are covering for several medical practices in Leiden. Are you unable to book an appointment online, but do you have an urgent question? Please call our practice and select option 4 for a callback appointment. The GP will call you back the same day and, if necessary, schedule an appointment for you on short notice.

Our colleagues, GPs Hester Elzenga and Pauline Pastoors, have been working at De Leidse Huisdokters occasionally since 2025. This allows us the time to continue building and improving our practice. We are very happy to have them on board!

Fees and reimbursements

Visits or calls with the GP do not cost any money if you have a Dutch health insurance. These appointments are covered by health insurance. Additional services such as blood tests, STD tests, X-rays, medications and visits to a specialist after referral are covered by an annual deductible. You are responsible for paying this yourself. The maximum is €385 for all of 2025, unless you have changed it yourself with your health insurance. The local government also sometimes offers reimbursements for care, transport and other items that the GP does not cover.

Please note: not all healthcare services are covered by your health insurance. For the services listed below, we charge a separate fee which must be paid out of pocket:

Medication certificate for travel
Are you travelling and taking medication? Check in advance via this link whether you need a medication certificate. We charge at least a consultation fee plus administrative costs for preparing and signing the certificate. Please schedule your appointment at least 6 weeks before departure.
No-show without notice
If you miss two scheduled appointments without notifying us or cancel too late, you will receive a warning. If this happens again, we will charge for the reserved appointment time.
Vaccinations without medical indication
If you choose to receive a vaccination without a medical necessity, it will not be covered by your insurance. We charge a consultation fee plus administrative costs for administering the vaccine. The vaccine itself must be paid for at the pharmacy.

Your data

Everything you discuss with the doctor remains confidential. The GP will never share your information with others without asking you first. Sometimes, the GP needs to provide your information to the pharmacy , another GP practice, or hospital. But this only happens with your permission. For more information about what we do and do not do with your data, read our privacy statement.

Training practice

We supervise medical interns during their GP-residency. It is possible your first contact by phone or in-person is with the intern. Every contact is supervised by the GP and during in-person visits you will always see the GP after the initial contact with the intern. If you do not want this, please let us know in advance.
