GP with in-house ultrasound (Leiden)

QUICK ANSWERHeyDoc is a GP practice in Leiden with ultrasound equipment on-site at Lammenschansweg 15B. We perform ultrasounds of abdomen, thyroid, vessels and soft tissue without external referral, usually within one working day. Ultrasound is part of regular GP care and covered by your basic health insurance.
  • In-practice ultrasound, no hospital referral needed for standard imaging.
  • Abdomen, thyroid, vessels (venous/arterial), soft tissue.
  • Usually scheduled within 1 working day after GP indication.
  • Results discussed the same day via chat, no waiting for callbacks.
  • In-house ECG, 24-hour Holter and full laboratory in addition to ultrasound.
  • Fully covered by Dutch basic health insurance; only own risk applies.

Which ultrasounds does HeyDoc perform in-house?

We perform the following ultrasound exams in our own practice:

  • Upper abdomen (liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, spleen, aorta)
  • Lower abdomen (bladder, prostate, gynaecological on indication)
  • Thyroid
  • Carotid arteries and deep veins (DVT diagnostics)
  • Soft tissue (lymph nodes, swellings, abscesses, superficial tendon/joint)
  • Musculoskeletal (shoulder, knee on indication)

Why in the GP practice instead of the hospital?

For standard ultrasound, a GP with ultrasound equipment is often faster than the hospital. You save a referral, waiting time for a hospital slot, travel, and in some cases hospital-related own-risk paperwork.

The HeyDoc GP performs the ultrasound personally and records the result in your file immediately. If anything needs specialist follow-up, a targeted ZorgDomein referral goes out the same or next working day.

  • Send a chat message via the patient portal with your complaint.
