A Paediatric Endocrinologist and Diabetologist is a doctor who specializes in the function of the glands and hormones in a child’s body. Some of the major endocrine glands include the pituitary and hypothalamus, the thyroid and parathyroid, adrenal glands, gonads (testes and ovaries) and the pancreas. Endocrine disorders can result from imbalances, deficiencies, excesses and alterations of timing resulting in abnormalities of growth, thyroid function, puberty, weight and diabetes. 

Abnormalities in these systems can have short- and long-term health implications. Fortunately, expertise and effective therapies are available for all these endocrine disorders at our practice.

Dr Naima Hargey

MBChB (UCT); FCDerm (SA); MMed (Wits); Dip HIV (SA)

Dr. Naima Hargey is a specialist Dermatologist with extensive training and expertise in the field of dermatology. She completed her undergraduate medical degree at the University of Cape Town (UCT, 2010), where she was honoured with a Gold Medal Award for her outstanding academic performance in Dermatology. Dr. Hargey furthered her education by obtaining her Fellowship in Dermatology from CMSA (FCDerm, 2022), also receiving a Gold Medal for her achievements in this area. She completed her Master of Medicine (MMED) from Wits University. 

 Dr. Hargey specialises in the treatment of a wide range of dermatological conditions, including medical, surgical, cosmetic, and paediatric dermatology.

She is also now able to offer mole scanning to her patients. A mole scan, also known as mole mapping or skin cancer screening, is a procedure that uses high-resolution digital imaging to track changes in moles over time. It helps detect melanoma and other skin cancers early by creating a detailed photographic record of the entire skin surface. This allows dermatologists to monitor changes in moles and identify any that may be cancerous. 

Her patient-centred approach is characterised by attentive care and a deep commitment to understanding the unique needs of each individual. She believes in fostering strong relationships with her patients, ensuring they feel heard and supported throughout their treatment journey. 

With a dedication to advancing dermatological health, Dr. Hargey remains engaged in research and ongoing education, keeping her practice at the forefront of the latest medical advancements.

I am a South African qualified ENT Surgeon. I competed a Clinical Fellowship in Paediatric ENT Surgery at Starship Children’s Hospital in Auckland, New Zealand. My Fellowship gave me a deeper understanding in the paediatric component in ENT surgery. I also learnt different approaches, and gained confidence in airway pathologies. Paediatric patients are not small adults and therefore deserve and benefit greatly from a clinician that prioritises them, understands them and takes the time to communicate frequently with their families.

“I experienced and learned from both a resource constrained environment, the public health sector, as well as from a world-class medical facility in Wits Donald Gordon Medical Centre (WDGMC) – not many subspecialists have this opportunity” On rotation through the WDGMC’s Intensive Care Unit during her specialist medical training, Dr Liezl Brand found the ideal place to sub-specialize in Pulmonology. WDGMC’s multidisciplinary environment, where medical professionals work as a team, and the wide range of challenging patient cases referred to the hospital, made her decision an easy one. “I knew that I wanted to be part of this…” Dr. Brand has an established her Pulmonology practice at the hospital and she is also part of the highly skilled medical team managing patients in the Intensive Care and High Care Units. Both of these Units offer the highest standard of care and support to complicated elective surgical and critically ill patients. The ICU has developed into a world-class unit and has become the preferred referral facility for solid organ transplantation, managing complex gastroenterology and hepato-biliary pathology and treating end-stage liver disease. Dr. Brand also provides a pre-operative assessment clinic where patients are screened, counseled and optimized before their elective surgery.

Ms Adele van der Merwe

BSc Dietetics, Post Grad Diploma Dietetics

“While a patient is in ICU, dieticians work alongside doctors in the provision of healthcare, monitoring and advising on nutritional treatments such as intravenous, nasogastric or supplemental sip feeds. Nutritional treatment is often part of a patient’s recovery schedule once he or she has been discharged from the ICU/High Care, and a dietician plays a key role in this phase too. The dietician might follow your progress in the ward, where vital diet information relating to your surgery will be explained “
