Robby Verschueren received his master's degree in dentistry from the VUB in 2007. The following year, he obtained the postgraduate degree "General dentist" at Ugent. After several years working in a group practice, he decided to start his own practice in 2011.

Robby's area of interest is dentistry in the broad sense of the word. He therefore committed himself to numerous projects of the VVT (Association of Flemish Dentists). Today, he is active for VVT as secretary of the Dendermonde Dental Circle.

Between 2019 and 2021, Robby attended several trainings to become a yoga teacher and mindfulness trainer (MBSR / MBCT). Given the high demand from the profession for stress reduction, Robby has been teaching courses on mindful working in the dental practice since 2021; both short introductions of 1h00 and full 8-week trainings.
