Jacqueline Surtea

Jacqueline finished dental school in 2011 at the University of Groningen. From that moment on, she settled as a general dentist in Rotterdam.
She started in 2014 her master CEPCD (Continuing Education Program in Comprehensive Dentistry) at the Oisterwijk Clinic, and passed her examinations in 2018.
This program gave her a helicopter view and handles to stay a manager in a complex dental treatment plan at several levels, besides being the practitioner for the restorative part.
Meanwhile she did a minor post-graduate training in endodontics at ACTA Amsterdam in 2016, and because of the interest and connection in the subjects ‘restorative, endodontics and periodontology’ she wrote her CEPCD thesis about root resorption.
Since 2019 she’s part of the team Proclin Rotterdam, and in particular the high-end dentistry in combination with general dentistry makes here a multi-purpose dentist; hardworking, reliable, clear in communication and honest.
She hopes to pass this on, with the most important message; do all the best but keep having fun and stay ‘down to earth’.
