General Practitioner · Gonubie, East London
Care that takes the time to listen.
Dr Dion Pretorius runs a calm, unhurried private practice in Gonubie — general consultations and aviation medicals (Class II & IV). A cash practice, so medical aid patients can claim back afterwards.

About the practice
A GP who treats people, not files.
Dr Dion Pretorius trained at the University of Pretoria (MBChB) and holds the Diploma in Tropical Medicine & Hygiene from Wits (DTM+H). He practises as a general practitioner in Gonubie and works as a regular designated aviation medical examiner (DAME).
The practice is deliberately small and unhurried. You book an appointment, you get seen properly, and the follow-up is real — patients talk about being nursed through serious illness and visited at home when they couldn't get in. That's the standard here.
“I was flabbergasted with his kindness, honesty… Dr Pretorius nursed me by visiting me at the flat.”
— Daisy J., Google review
