Our Team
Dr. Dirk Coeman, a gynecologist specialized in reproductive medicine and surgery has over 30 years of experience with loop excision and cone biopsy, the international standard of care for the treatment of cervical precancer. This technique was incorporated in 1984 and has since never been changed nor improved. The limitations of the technique, as well as the severe impact the unsatisfactory treatment has on women, led Dirk to invent a novel and superior method to treat cervical precancer: Valéb.
