Dr. Manuel Riolo
Registered and Contracted
General Practitioner
About me
I am a general practitioner, graduated from the Catholic University of Louvain in 2022 with Great Distinction. I also obtained a certificate in electrocardiography in 2020 which allows me to perform and interpret electrocardiograms (ECG).
Several reasons led me to exercise the wonderful profession of general practitioner. First of all, the unique and special relationship of trust between a doctor and his patient. It allows to take care of a medical problem in a comprehensive way while taking into account the specificities of his patient. I also chosed this specialty for the diversity of pathologies and patients (children, adults, elderly people).
In addition to my activity as a general practitioner, I also work in a hospital emergency department as well as in a company that organizes the repatriation of patients from abroad.
I warmly welcome you to my office on Monday and Wednesday and on Tuesday and Friday mornings in French, Italian, Spanish or English.

Consultation
I welcome you in my office on Monday and Wednesday and on Tuesday and Friday morning only with an appointment.
When making an appointment, please mention the reason of your visit.
A fee will be charged for any missed appointment without notice, as provided by the College of Physicians.
​
Unfortunately I don't do home visits, except rare cases.
​
Video consultation
By selecting "video consultation" when making an appointment, you will receive a link by email and SMS just before the consultation.
All you have to do is click on it at the time of the appointment.
Please note that the prescription of antibiotics, request for imaging or a medical certificate exceeding 2 days will remain exceptional without a prior physical examination. Renewal of prescriptions for patients unknown to the practice is not permitted.
Prescription renewal
Prescription renewal is only possible for patients already known at the office and who consulted less than a year ago.
Just send me an email with the medication needed. They will then be available on your electronic identity card within 3 working days.
If you do not have an electronic ID, please inform me in the email.
Renewal is possible maximum once every three months per patient. Make sure to group your requests all at once.
NB: the treatment of some patients will be renewed only during consultation. I will inform you if this is the case for you.
Results of tests
By selecting "To be called back for results" when making an appointment, I will contact you by telephone at the scheduled time to inform you of your results.
Medical Record (DMG)
It is strongly recommended for patients affiliated with the Belgian health insurance to have an complete medical file with a general practitioner.
This file improves the quality of care, centralizes your health data and allows you greater reimbursement of your consultation by the health insurance.
It is fully paid by the health insurance, so you don't have to pay anything.
To create it, just let me know during the consultation.
Emergency
In case of vital emergency, dial 112.
For non-vital emergency, if I am not available, contact the general medicine on-call by dialing 1733 (contracted rates, during weekday evenings and weekends) or SOS doctors at 02/513.02.02 (available 24/7).
Fees
If you are affiliated with a Belgian health insurance, you will only pay the non-refundable part of the consultation, known as "tiers-payant".
