  • About Brian

    I graduated from the University of Cape Town in 2013 and my MBChB degree was awarded with First Class Honours. I am General Practitioner who is dedicated to family health care and find the continuity of working with a family over time very rewarding. At UCT I received undergraduate awards in the fields of Orthopaedics, Internal Medicine, Ophthalmology and Anatomy. I also graduated as a Physiotherapist and practiced full time for a year and part time during my medical training.

    I highly recommend using RecoMed booking system. The platform makes it incredibly convenient to see available time slots that suit your schedule, eliminating the hassle of calling the reception to book an appointment.
