Dr. Luikenaar has over 13 years of experience in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, making her well-versed in tending to the healthcare needs of women. Prior to her career, Dr. Luikenaar completed an extensive education in the Netherlands, her native country; then relocated to the United States for further training after a year in research at the Artificial Heart Research Laboratory with professor Willem Kolff, the inventor of the first artificial heart.
