What Our Clients Are Saying

I wholeheartedly endorse Prof Chauke-Malinga, as her exceptional skills and unwavering commitment are truly commendable. It has been nearly three months since my procedure, and I am absolutely delighted with the remarkable results achieved. The level of proficiency she demonstrates in pain management, coupled with her unparalleled devotion to patient well-being, sets her apart from her peers.

Prof Chauke literally saved my life 2 months ago. After 4 years of hell with different doctors I finally came across her and her team of professionals, she assured me that everything was going to be ok and that I would live my life again. I had a double mastectomy and then reconstruction literally 2 weeks ago, and although the recovery has been painful, she has been absolutely amazing. One can tell and see the difference between someone who really cares for their patients versus those that just want your money.

Prof Chauke-Malinga has really changed my life, my experience with her has been amazing. She explains everything thoroughly, from what the surgery pertains to the risk and complications associated with the procedure. She is so easy to talk to, she listens and explains everything very well. On consultations and check ups, she gave me enough time and each time I came out smiling. I’m so glad she did my breast reduction procedure.
