How it works with us
I don't have open hours and I only work by appointment. This way I can always take the time for my patients and for you as a
patient you won't have to wait when you consult me. To make an appointment it is best to call the practice assistant early in the morning
at:
015 261 16 01.
This way you can have an appointment the same day.
If you have an urgent medical problem during office hours, you can always consult me directly by telephone at:
015 261 26 21.
If you feel too ill to come to the practice, tell this the assistant who will then arrange a house call for the same day. It
means that I will visit you at your student room. Therefore you don't need to live in my postal code area. And, don't feel
ashamed if it is a mess in your room, I have been a student myself!

Information for international students in Delft
|
Welcome to Delft!
Coming to Delft to study at the University TU Delft will bring a fun and exciting new period in your life! Besides
studying you will also have all kinds of new experiences in your life: living on your own, cooking your own meals, taking
care of yourself for the first time in your life. Getting to know new friends, going out, meeting a nice girl or guy to
fall in love with. With so many new experiences, choosing your own local family doctor (GP) in Delft probably is one of the
last things that you will think about. However, it is very important that you have a doctor here in Delft. There can always
be something that will happen to you, even if it only is a small accident in sports.

TU Delft's official position is that every student, including students who stay in Delft on a short term basis, must arrange for
his or her own required medical insurance coverage and to register with a local family doctor (GP) here in Delft.
There are many GPs here in Delft, and all of us are qualified. It is important to register at a doctor with whom you feel
comfortable. Therefore, on this page I shall tell you something more about myself in order to help you make your choice
when comparing local doctors.
Who is doctor Samsom?
I am an international orientated family physician, since 2004 running my own practice here in Delft. My nationality is Dutch,
and I studied medicine at Leiden University (Netherlands). After graduating from medical school as a general practitioner,
I went to the United Kingdom where I completed my additional years of residency in family medicine. I practiced family
medicine in the United Kingdom for several years before returning to The Netherlands, and in 2004 taking over the family
medicine clinic at Herculesweg 13 in Delft. I have an additional qualification (MSc) in epidemiology. In addition to the
general family medicine practice I also carry out medical examinations and I can offer you specializations such as a
diabetes clinic, an obesity clinic and a COPD clinic.

More about the person behind the doctor
What kind of person is doctor Samsom? What kind of hobbies does he have? How does he spend his spare time? Those are
questions that you probably ask yourself when comparing doctors. You will like to choose a doctor who will understand
you and with whom you feel comfortable. Not all doctors are the same and not all patients are the same, so not all
patients prefer the same doctor. I will try to give you some more background information about myself as a person.
How do I spend my spare time? During the summer months you can frequently find me on the golf course. I started
playing golf when I lived in England.

Making music, especially jazz music, always has been an
important hobby. For years, while at medical school, I played the piano in a students’ jazz band. Nowadays I form a jazz
duo together with my wife, who is a singer accompanying herself on the piano. I also play the bass guitar. Officially a
jazz duo, in fact we form a trio: piano, vocals and bass.

I enjoy the good things of life, and I wish you a wonderful and succesful time here in Delft!
It can always happen that for some reason you need a local doctor. That is why it is so important to be registered at a
local doctor's practice here in Delft. My practice has an informal atmosphere (as far as possible
in a medical practice). I think it very important to take the time for my patients. You can consult me not only with your
physical medical problems but also if you experience difficulties with your study or socially. In the table on the left
of this page you can read more about how it works with us.
