Willem van Strien

Since 2024, I have been an anesthesiologist-pain specialist at the NKI, after being trained at the Amsterdam UMC. As an anesthesiologist, I take care of patients around an operation. As a pain specialist, I look for an appropriate pain treatment for each patient. Together with my team, I ensure that every patient—both in the operating rooms and outside—is safe and as comfortable as possible.

I enjoy working at the NKI, because it is a special hospital where enthusiastic people provide excellent care, with personal attention for every patient.

In addition to my tasks in patient care, I conduct medical-scientific research into pain and psychedelics.
