Baker, Coleman and Stead at Entabeni Hospital are excellent Anne. Andrew Baker operated on my knee 3 years ago and no hassles.
Samantha C. replied:
Both my mom and i have used Dr Willers at Umhlanga, i an not fan AT ALL of the hospital but he was fantastic such a good bedside manor as well
Rochelle S. replied:
Dr Johnny De Beer at umhlanga hosp. Excellent. Did Pieter's hip replacement
D.L B. replied:
The best is Dr Johnny de Beer...he fixed me!! 032-9466937...he has offices in Ballito and just moved to the new Gateway hospital... he on leave but back on Monday...you wont look back!!
Angi M. replied:
Ja Anne definately Dr Willers, not only speaking from experience with him for Slade, but also from what friends and oatients have told me.
Jane P. replied:
Dr Fraser is great for shoulders and De Vlieg at Umhlanga is the best for knees (all the rugby players go to him) and Baker is also good. De Vlieg did Keegan's knee and Fraser my mum's hips and shoulder and Baker her carpal tunnel.
Jane P. replied:
Dr Coleman is the best for backs:) . You can see all the "rugby" injury history by my knowledge of all these Dr's ;)
Adele B. replied:
Dr Williers at Umhlanga he is sorting out my knees. I believe De Vlieg is also very good x

That's shocking . Please see Dr wagenaar first thing +27314640525. He will definitely ensure your son is attended to
Karen J. replied:
Byron Loader, a broken bone is considered an emergency, but it does depends on where and type of fracture. Is it a break or does it involve an open wound? Most hospitals have theatre staff either on premises or on call to facilitate these types of emergencies. There is a handful of things to consider before surgery. -swelling of injury -patients health -if open wound...infection -type of break -when patient last ate or drank

Dr Grootboom@Crompton.
Karen B. replied:
Dr Fraser at Hillcrest did my daughters ankle on a Sat aftn. He is an ortho and brilliant.
Orthopaedic Surgeon suggestions please .... someone who specialises in the feet !!!
Shannon O. replied:
Dr SM Naidoo, 0312019198 - he has done both of the ops on my foot. Hes brilliant and takes time to listen not just money hungry and doesn't like to operate unless its absolutely necessary
Josik L. replied:
@Janelle - Dr Naidoo does charge MA rates - my sister goes to him. I personally don't think he does much for my sister tho' - I think he just sees $$$ when she goes to him ... my personal thoughts but you can try him.
Janelle Y. replied:
Have tried calling his rooms so many times no reply. Got an appointment with Dr Pienaar
Who can recommend the best orthopedic surgeon in Durban? I am seeing a very good one the week after but I need to see one ASAP. Any suggestions much appreciated
Greg S. replied:
Dr SM Naidoo at St Augustine's is brilliant, as is Dr Jonny de Beer from Umhlanga Hospital.
Retha L. replied:
I had knee replacement surgery November and can only say good things about Drs Hlope and Grootboom at Crompton. I like the fact that they dont just cut ! Took 2 years before the decision was made that time has come. Too many surgeons operate for the money rather than necessity
Bernadette M. replied:
Andrew Baker!!!!!
Berenice B. replied:
William Haynes. He is in umhlanga hospital medical centre.
Vick G. replied:
Agreed, Andrew Baker!
Kathrine G. replied:
Jaco Villers is a bone surgical engineer of note, but don't know about feet. Worth a try though. He's as umhlanga. Andy de Vlieg is the best knee man i believe!
