I am incredibly proud of the quality of care we provide for limb lengthening surgery in Stellenbosch. This level of care is no accident; it was intentionally designed this way.

We chose to be based in this beautiful town because it is one of the safest on the continent and is renowned for its excellence, student culture, and innovation.

Our team embodies these values, focusing on safety, innovation, and humanity to deliver the best possible care to our patients.

We have developed care pathways that outline the essential level of care required for patients throughout their entire limb lengthening journey. These pathways incorporate a multidisciplinary team, including psychologists, occupational therapists, nutritionists, physiotherapists, myself as the surgeon, additional team members, nursing staff, and administrative support.

The support network we build around our patients is crucial and non-negotiable; it’s a standard part of our approach. It is integrated into the surgery process and represents the safety standards I require you to uphold to continue this journey with me.

This standard of care we provide to our patients is rare and done by experts which includes high-level sports people.
