Maria Mazis, 31 Aug 2019

You wait for hours at casualty, even when there aren't that many people waiting. There is no systematic process to the waiting either. The Hospital is also filthy, and the staff are rude and unfriendl

Kirst Raath, 26 May 2019

I would give a higher rating however, the general admin staff and nursing staff are horrifically rude, whether it's over the phone or face to face.

When a stroke patient doesnt get treated for a stroke because the doctor is lazy on the weekend and just wants to go home so says its a migraine when its clearly a stroke! Absolutely pathetic. Doctors

Tiffiny Sutherland, 28 Jan 2019

Casualty is a joke. 4 people in the waiting room and over an hour to wait for triage to see us, before we in the queue to see a doctor. No order whatsoever. Thought I was in a government hospital. Pat

The health care facility is awesome and the service is not bad either.

Henk Balje, 07 May 2018

The High care facility is run flawlessly and all is well there. The normal wards, however, are below average, the staff are rude and everything is done with so much effort and begging.

I had to ask for my medication from the nurse on duty one evening. The nurse became aggressive and nasty, subsequently I find out she did not send the script to the pharmacy. I got my meds at 10.45pm.

William Haun, 08 Jan 2017

Clean place, super friendly staff. Admission took a while due to a computer mistake but once that was settled things went smoothly.

Anni Williams, 29 Sep 2016

The emergency room is always under staffed, which makes an already stressful experience worse. Staff could also use some customer service training.

What you need to know about Spine Surgery in Johannesburg

Spine surgery is a procedure to correct problems in the bones of your spine (backbone). It is typically recommended by your doctor if other types of treatment cannot ease back pain. Spine surgery is often performed on people with spinal deformities, herniated disk, and spinal stenosis. There are several different types of spine surgery, the most common types are discectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion, and artificial disks. This operation can significantly reduce pain and improve the quality of your life but requires a significant investment of time for recovery and rehabilitation.

What's the Recovery Time for Spine Surgery Procedures in Johannesburg?

The duration required for recuperation after undergoing Spine Surgery procedures in Johannesburg often worries patients. The recovery period can greatly differ depending on the patient, the particular surgery conducted, and the intensity of the operation. After open surgery, the complete recovery may take up to six months, but you should be able to go back to work and some light activities within 3 to 4 weeks. After minimally invasive surgery, you should be able to return to work and resume most of your activities within two weeks.

The first phase of the recovery process involves healing from the surgery itself, which can span over several weeks. In this phase, it's critical to manage discomfort and guard against infections. Detailed instructions on caring for the wound will be provided by your medical practitioner, and you may need to consume drugs to control pain and swelling. Eventually, under the supervision of a qualified therapist, you can begin physiotherapy exercises designed to regain movement and strength in the spinal region.

What's the Success Rate of Spine Surgery Procedures in Johannesburg?

The success rate of spine surgery is generally high, with about 72% to 90% of patients experience relief of their pain after surgery. Despite this, it depends on the patient's overall well-being, the particular characteristics of their spinal condition, the kind of procedure conducted, and the proficiency of the surgical team. It is equally important for patients to faithfully follow the rehabilitation regimen and lifestyle guidance after surgery.
