TESTIMONIALS
Ek wil u net weer eens bedank dat u vir my die geskikte opsie aanbeveel het sodat ek steeds kan swem. Die operasie was ‘n groot sukses……briljant en uitstekend gedoen. Baie baie dankie!
Ek sal met vrymoedigheid enige van my vriende met n skouerprobleem na u verwys. ‘n Spesiale dankie ook aan Sam, Sabelo, Tossie en Delmaine vir hul vriendelikheid, hulp en bystand.

Ek sal 100% Dr. De Beer en sy span aanbeveel. Absoluut professionele en vriendelike diens. Vanaf die spreekkamer tot in die teater was ek rustig en het ek presies geweet wat om te verwag. My skouer operasie was ‘n groot sukses.

I was really impressed with the passion and professionalism of Doctor de Beer. He meticulously ran various tests on my shoulder after being misdiagnosed by someone before. Dr. De Beer diagnosed me accurately after I have been walking around in pain for more than three months. Once diagnosed my operation was scheduled on very short notice by the office staff. As I was struggling with discomfort and stiffness 4 weeks after my operation, Dr. De Beer was willing to see me on a public holiday. He opened the office, played receptionist and juggled the patients really well. Dedication and passion are the two words that immediately comes to mind when thinking of Dr. De Beer. My experience has only been positive to date and my healing process are on schedule.

I would like to thank Dr. De Beer, Sam and all the staff at the Shoulder Institute, including Dr. Gert Coetzee my anaesthetist, for going above and beyond to help fit in an appointment for me, and then to arrange surgery at such short notice. Dr. De Beer is a world class surgeon, and I feel so privileged to have been able to have my surgery done in South Africa. (I now live and practice full-time as an Anaesthetist in New Zealand.) The theatre and nursing staff at the Mediclinic were also very professional and caring. Thank you again.

The service was extremely professional. Sam continued to support me throughout the process from the time I contacted her for an appointment with Dr. De Beer. She has been very supportive, and I truly appreciate her kindness.
All the staff members at the hospital were also kind and helpful, and made me to feel relaxed before the operation. After the surgery, I was also supported and provided with all the information on how to take care of my shoulder. Keep up the great job and I will come back, if necessary and will also recommend to my family and friends.

Met my besoek aan Dr. De Beer se praktyk verlede week, kan ek net getuig van die uiters goeie proffesionele diens wat ek en my man ontvang het – jul vriendelikheid en hulpvaardigheid word opreg waardeer, en het ek dit alreeds met my vir vriende gedeel. Nogmaals baie baie dankie Sam, Delmaine en die ander dame by ontvangs en natuurlik Dr. De Beer !!! Hierdie ondervinding sal ek nooit vergeet nie”

My local orthopaedic surgeon contacted Dr. J de Beer on a Friday afternoon at 18h00, as he suspected that I had sustained a pectoralis major rupture and felt that it should be repaired by an expert in the field of shoulder surgery.
To my total astonishment I was phoned by Dr. De Beer 30 minutes later!
He discussed the injury and the possible repair with me at length over the phone.
His friendly staff made all the arrangements and I saw him for a thorough consultation and sonar on the Tuesday.
He explained to me in detail the procedure as well as the rehabilitation that was needed, in the presence of his assistant.
The start of the operation was delayed, due to another patient arriving late for a shoulder replacement.
To my surprise I was visited by Sam and Dr. De Beer separately to come and explain and apologise for this delay, for which they were not responsible.
After the operation I was again visited by Sam and Dr. De Beer who showed me a photograph taken during the procedure.
Dr. De Beer provided me with a detailed letter with instructions to my physiotherapist to enable her to provide the correct rehabilitation.
I am pleasantly surprised, not only by the friendly effective treatment by the staff of Dr. De Beer, but with the passion and enthusiasm that he displays in treating patients.
We need more doctors like this!
