Who Am I ?

Hello,

Thanks for stopping by. I’m Dr Rebecca.
I can’t wait to meet you and your precious family. Until then, you’d probably like to know a little bit more about me. So, here we go.

​

Why I am a Paediatrician

You can probably tell that I love children. I’m in awe of their resilience, brutal honesty and the purity of their absolute joy for life. That’s what makes my job—and motherhood—richly rewarding.

​

Qualifications

I knew that I wanted to study medicine from my childhood, and before reaching high school, I’d committed to paediatrics. After graduating from Wits University with MBBCH (2012), I completed my internship and community service at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital. I then moved to Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital for my four-year specialisation until July 2020, when I graduated with a Masters in Medicine and my fellowship in paediatrics.

​

Motivation

When I’m not at work with your little ones, I am spending time with mine. Connor, two years old, is super busy and inquisitive. He’s a sponge for knowledge at this age. Hannah is three months old, adds extra centimetres to my smile and the rings under my eyes (but I wouldn’t have it any other way). 

​

Benefits

I believe that being a mother gives me incredible insight into the various challenges (and, let’s face it, hardships) of motherhood. It enhances my ability to tailor treatment plans to suit each child and family.

​

Our relationship

It’s an honour for me to restore children’s giggles and parent’s peace of mind. My approach is gentle; it is essential for babies and tots through to tweens to feel secure before an examination. When it comes to moms and dads, I believe open communication is the fastest way to finding a practical solution.

Enough about me! I’d like to get to know you. Feel free to call to book an appointment right here
