The Practice
Our practice is based in Illovo, Johannesburg, conveniently located at the Oxford Centre with easy access from surrounding areas.
Dermatology at our practice is centred on education, understanding, and genuine care. We take time to get to know each patient and their skin, helping them understand their skin’s biology, genetic tendencies, and unique needs.
From eczema and psoriasis to hair loss, skin infections, and autoimmune conditions, our focus is on understanding what’s causing discomfort and guiding patients toward thoughtful, evidence-based care.
