FAQ

We are not contracted to any of the medical aids and function in fully private capacity. All accounts are to be settled on the day of consultation and the invoice can be sent to the medical aid in order to claim back the amount (or part thereof, dependent on the medical aid policy).

Please notify the practice 24 hours in advance should you wish to cancel or move your appointment. This will provide our reception staff with sufficient time to allocate the time slot to another patient.

TESTIMONIALS

“I have known Dr de Lange since 2010 when we worked together at a state facility in Port Elizabeth. Since then she has been working in private practice and specializes as a general practitioner in wellness and psychiatric conditions. I know her as a caring, thorough and highly skilled health practitioner and I regularly refer to her for assistance in the medical management of my own patients, or where a patient needs a more specialized mental health approach but not yet need to access specific psychiatric services. I can highly recommend Dr de Lange.”

Dr Wim Esterhuysen, Psychiatrist in private practice, Port Elizabeth

“I have had the pleasure of working with Dr de Lange for a number of years and can attest not only to her superior clinical ability but also to her caring and kind demeanour. She is an ardent believer that well-being is more than just the absence of disease but rather complete physical, social and mental wellness. Patients can rely on being truly cared for when tended by her.”

Dr JK LeeChing, MBChB (UCT), MBA - Cum Laude (NMU), DipPEC (CMSA)

“I would highly recommend Dr de Lange. I have been a patient for over a year and her management of my illness has been extraordinary. I was unable to get a specialist appointment for over a year and she assisted me with managing my condition in the interim, engaging with the specialists. She frequently followed up with me telephonically to check if the treatment is working until my recent specialist appointment. I am happy with the outstanding service rendered by Dr de Lange and am on the road to recovery.”
