Who am I

I am Dr Kalam Ahmed, a plastic surgeon at Kliniek Blooming in Haarlem. With over 15 years of experience – ranging from burn care and reconstructive surgery to aesthetics – I work “from head to toe”. I was born in Bangladesh, grew up in the Netherlands from the age of seven, and still maintain strong ties with my country of birth, where I go on medical missions every year. In the Netherlands, I am a registered plastic surgeon and EBO/EBOPRAS-certified, which is a European quality label in addition to national registration.
