Dr. Patrick Kemperman (Netherlands)

Patrick Kemperman works as a dermatologist at the UMC (Academic Medical Centre) in Amsterdam, the Netherlands and the Waterlandziekenhuis in Purmerend, the Netherlands.

He is a general dermatologist who focusses on psychodermatology and itching. He is driven by a strong desire to bridge the gap between the treatment of physical and psychosocial problems in people who suffer from a chronic skin condition.

Furthermore, he exerts himself to have studies performed into the relatively new field of psychodermatology, to achieve the ultimate goal of getting more attention for the psychological factors of skin diseases in the future, resulting in the best possible treatment for the patient.
