Biography
My name is Elise Maes. I obtained my degree in medicine in 2013 from the Free University of Brussels, and trained as a gynaecologist at UZ Brussel, CHU Tivoli in La Louvière, and GZA in Antwerp. Then, in 2018, I started as a licensed gynaecologist at the Universitair Medisch Centrum Sint-Pieter in Brussels, where I continued to specialise in pelvic floor problems, in addition to my activity in benign gynaecology and obstetrics.
Since 2019, I have enjoyed working at the group practice Mirha, where I can take the necessary time for each patient in a comfortable and confidential environment. Here, I am surrounded by a highly driven, forward-thinking and warm multidisciplinary team, and this enables me to offer the best possible care to suit my patient's individual needs.
