Rob van der Veen

Dr. van der Veen is a highly regarded specialist in Oculoplastic and Orbital Surgery, with a strong focus on both functional and aesthetic treatments of the eyelids and periocular region. He runs a private practice at Turó Park Clinics in Barcelona (Spain), where he welcomes patients from across Europe and beyond. He also practices at Marebrug Clinic in Utrecht (the Netherlands).

If you are considering functional or cosmetic eyelid surgery, performed using minimally invasive techniques and with the highest standards of precision and safety, Dr. van der Veen offers you a  personalised patient-centred approach in Spanish, English, or Dutch.

I grew up and trained in the Netherlands as an ophthalmologist and oculoplastic and orbital surgeon. After practicing there for more than a decade, I moved to Spain. The combination of Dutch medical training and pragmatism with a warm Mediterranean approach allows me to offer an exceptional patient experience.
