Profile
Giap Liem treats people of all ages who struggle with chronic pain. By listening attentively whilst conducting extensive physical research, Liem will try to make clear to both the patient and their loved ones precisely which structures in the body are causing discomfort, and which mechanisms are responsible. The pain management plan will be determined accordingly.
Professional background
Giap Liem has been working as an Anesthesiologist – Algiatrist (a specialist concerned with pain relief) since 1990. Already during the time of his medical training, he was fascinated by the functions of the brain and the central nervous system. Partly because of his far-reaching experience, he often manages to find a way to relieve chronic pain patients’ distress and, in so doing, to restore their functionality. Having previously worked at the former Red Cross Hospital in The Hague, Liem has been working at the Alrijne Hospital for 12,5 years now.
