Why I started Synergy

I started Synergy in 2021 after working in hospitals and treating patients in their homes during COVID. Those experiences taught me that good clinical care begins with seeing the person behind the diagnosis. We listen, explain the plan and work with each patient towards what they need to return to. The relationship is the treatment; everything else is technique.

Clinical experience you can trust

I qualified at the University of Cape Town in 2018 and gained experience across ICU, high care, orthopaedics, neurology, medical, surgical and outpatient care. Today, I practise at Mediclinic Wits Donald Gordon Medical Centre, working alongside specialists and surgeons. My focus includes surgical and liver-transplant rehabilitation, oncology, orthopaedics, medical rehabilitation, musculoskeletal conditions and return-to-sport care.

What patients can expect

Hands-on care shaped around your medical context, your goals and the life you want to return to. If recovery moves between hospital, outpatient care, the gym or home, the Synergy team works to keep the journey connected.
