A question I often ask my patients is, “Why did you choose me?” Many people travel internationally for specialized surgery, and their decision usually comes down to a few key factors.

A question I often ask my patients is, “Why did you choose me?” Many people travel internationally for specialized surgery, and their decision usually comes down to a few key factors.

First, it’s about surgical expertise. At the Institute of Orthopedic Syndrome and Rheumatology in Stellenbosch, we have a concentration of top-class specialists, each a key opinion leader in their field. These experts are all based in a single hospital, allowing us to provide exceptional care under one roof.

Secondly, we’re fortunate to be located in one of the safest towns in Africa, and arguably one of the most beautiful places in the world. The setting itself contributes to the overall experience for patients seeking surgery.

Thirdly, we’re supported by an outstanding team of nurses and allied healthcare professionals who work closely with us to guide patients through their entire journey. Our boutique hospital environment allows us to deliver personalized, attentive care, ensuring each patient receives focused treatment.

This combination of surgical excellence, a supportive team, and a beautiful, secure environment is what makes our approach so successful. It’s the “secret sauce” to delivering exceptional outcomes for our patients.
