Testimonial

What They Say

Doctor Nadine was God sent to me. My case was absolutely bad/complex and the attention and care I got from her made me feel like I was the only patient. I had the horseshoe issue (if I remember the name correctly) with bad surgeries before coming to her. So compassionate, very informative and very well experienced. Her team is awesome, the reception, love them, all the doctors that I dealt with through her fantastic. She's awesome, words cannot explain. Loved consultation time with her. Bedside manners, the best, always came to see me after my surgeries & take me through it all. Although the severity & the reality of the sickness I had in particular was made clear. I loved that she didn't FORCE it on me that what I had was incurable, unlike the previous doctor. I thank Jesus for His healing power, I'm totally healed.She was so amazing that she even helped me complete the sickness insurance form, though they didn't pay out..

JT Seema

Nadine and her team are superstars. Feeling absolutely defeated by doctors who had no idea what was wrong with me, Nadine listened to me and figured out what the problem was. I cannot recommend Nadine, her team (starting at reception, right down to the individuals in theatre) enough. They are PHENOMENAL. I am so grateful to have found her!

Chrissie Pfalzgraf
