Be your best self
People today are living longer and healthier lives, and often reach a stage where the age of the face in the mirror completely does not match with the person they feel they still are inside. A little softening of the lines of time can do wonders to the feeling that you are the person you were meant to be. I inject with the purpose of making a person look healthier and more relaxed, and to bring out their best character points, like cheerfulness and kindness.
There are also many medical uses for the tools employed by aesthetic medicine. Botox can be used for teeth grinding (bruxism), excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), tension headaches and chronic spasms.
About The Practice
I graduated from Wits in 2008, and did my internship at Helen Joseph and Rahima Moosa Hospitals.
I am a general practitioner, passionate about family medicine. I strongly believe in the bio-psycho-social model of healthcare, where the person is seen holistically as a complete entity in the context of their family and society, and that every level of their life should be optimised, and that every contact with a doctor is an opportunity to do so.
I believe....
The patient should actively be involved in their own healthcare at every level. Further, the solution to healthcare problems is not always adequately addressed by simply popping pills.
A holistic approach that takes into consideration the whole of the patient’s life is necessary.
Saying that, I consider myself a scientist and believe that the best and most up to date of scientific evidence is required to correctly diagnose and treat medical conditions.
Patch Adams
Sometimes, the course of an illness does not go the way one would have hoped, but there is always a way to ease the suffering of the human condition of illness. Whatever the presenting complaint, from a healthy patient simply wanting a routine checkup to a calamitous medical emergency, I aim to have reduced suffering and increased wellbeing even before the patient and/ or their family leaves my consulting rooms
