Both of the doctors are multilingual and fully licensed in the EU and Japan. They studied medicine at the University of Amsterdam and did their internship at the Academic Medical Center in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. After specialization at the Department of Plastic Surgery of the Nippon Medical School and the Jujin Hospital, they became certified cosmetic surgeons. In March, 1992, they opened Tokyo Skin Clinic, a specialty clinic for cosmetic dermatology and skin surgery, the first of its kind in Japan. People from all over the globe, especially from English-speaking areas and other European nations visit Tokyo Skin Clinic. After moving to Roppongi with a high concentration of non-Japanese nationals, treatment of non-cosmetic dermatological problems became another important part of their practice. Thanks to close collaboration with Japan's leading laboratory, they have newest lab tests at their disposition. This has led them to be actively involved in STD screening and hormonal replacement therapy. Trained as primary care physicians in the Netherlands, they started a new project in cooperation with a Dutch public hospital in 2003: periodical health checks for Japanese residents in the Netherlands. Now they go back and forth between the two countries, serving the international community in Japan and contributing to health management of Japanese residents in the Netherlands and adjacent countries.
