- I matriculated in 1975 from Christiaan Brothers College in Green Point , Cape
Town.
- I was a medical student at University of Cape Town( 1st heart transplant
fame) and qualified in 1980.
- I did my internship in a country hospital and did 2
yrs in the military as we all had to in those days.
- I moved to namibia for 2 yrs
before specialising in surgery.
- I received my degree from University of
Stellenbocsh Cum Laude in 1990.I was a consultant at Windhoek Central hospital
surgical department for 4 years before committing myself to private practice in
Windhoek, Namibia.
- I have a special interest in Minimal access ( keyhole
surgery) surgery and pelvic floor disorders causing constipation.
- I have been
doing RYGB laparoscopically since 2004 and by standard method since 2000.
- It
has always been a wonder for me to see how patients change their whole lives and
personalities as a result of permanent weight loss. Weight loss treatment
requires a whole team aproach including exercise(biokinetics), dietary advice pre
and postoperatively,medical assessment for comorbid
diseases,intensive care postoperatively and psychological assessment.
- My wife
has the added interest in ecometric testing which enables us to assess those
patients that will need psychological help pre and post op.
