Dr's at Health Fort Clinics: A Doctor, Parent & Partner in Family Health

Starting a new chapter with Health Fort Clinics in Milnerton feels a little bit like moving homes - exciting, a little unfamiliar, but filled with opportunity. Many families in Table View already know me, especially as someone who has always had a special connection with children in the consultation room. Over time, I've become known not only as a doctor, but as a familiar face that parents and little ones feel comfortable with. That connection deepened when I became a father myself. My son, now one and a half years old, has transformed the way I see medicine. Parenthood is a masterclass in patience, empathy, and problem-solving. I know what it means to be up at night with a coughing toddler, to feel the weight of worry over fevers and infections, and to juggle parenting while managing the rest of life's responsibilities. 

This experience has made me a different kind of doctor. When I consult with parents about their child's health, I understand that the diagnosis is just one part of the puzzle. A sick child affects sleep, work schedules, relationships, and stress levels at home. Similarly, when I see adult patients, I recognize that health is not just the absence of disease - it's about the whole picture: 

family, lifestyle, work pressures, and emotional wellbeing. 

At Health Fort Clinics, I aim to bring this perspective into every consultation. Whether you bring your little one in for a check-up, or you're an adult managing a chronic condition, my approach is the same: to treat you as a whole person, not just a set of symptoms. 

Being both a parent and a doctor reminds me daily that healthcare is not only about science and medicine — it's about understanding, connection, and walking the journey with patients and families. And in Milnerton, I look forward to continuing that journey with you! Dr's at Health Fort Clinics
