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

José De Pinho, 28 Aug 2019

Carmen Ackermann, 29 Jul 2019

A private hospital that serves absolutely disgusting and tasteless food to its patients.

Sandi Pope, 25 Jul 2019

Very expensive then leave you sitting in pain waiting. No word as to what's going on. Very slow service. Shocking!

Natie Kahn, 19 Jul 2019

It's a very nice place and its good and the best hospitil in town

Kassie Myburgh, 21 Jun 2019

Don't bother trying to reach Pre Admissions. Of the multitude of times I have tried calling, they either didn't answer at all, or at times I could hear someone take the call, but I was simply redirect

Bridget Kruger, 28 May 2019

Great staff, very courteous and caring. Clean and modern equipment. The older side could do with some serious upgrades and modernising on the structural part. For a private hospital and a semi private

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.

Mark Berkowitz, 30 Mar 2019

One of the better Netcare facilities. Convenient location for my family and friends. A community hospital with excellent health care and specialist Surgeons. Doctors consulting rooms on the premises.

MatthewHendrie, 13 Mar 2019

Cleaner stole my brother’s R6000 headphones from his own bed whilst he went to the loo!! Disgusting

Kaytlin Hart, 27 Feb 2019

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

Hiten Keshave, 22 Jan 2019

Emergency service is SLOW AND TERRIBLE - doctors don’t know what’s happening, let alone with patients!Government hospital may even be better...

The receptionist isn't so good, they take too long, and there's certain doctors charging cash and don't have that machine for card payment, so we had to go to the main building, again, there's not at

Abuti Katlego, 03 Jun 2018

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.

Mandy Solomon, 18 Jan 2017

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 Epilepsy Treatment in Johannesburg

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder where the brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures or periods of unusual sensations, behaviors, and in some cases loss of awareness. The treatment plan for epilepsy is based on the severity of symptoms, your general health, your age, and how well you respond to therapy. The treatment options include medication, nerve stimulation, and surgery.

What's the Recovery Time for Epilepsy Treatment Procedures in Johannesburg?

You should rest for 3 weeks after surgery and then gradually increase your activity level. You should be able to return to work in about four to six weeks, but the total recovery period may take as long as three months.

What's the Success Rate of Epilepsy Treatment Procedures in Johannesburg?

About 70% (7 out of 10) of people who have epilepsy can fully control their seizures with medication. Nerve stimulators and surgery are known to be effective and safe. However, all of the treatments carry some side effects and risks, such as infection, bleeding, a return of seizure, vision loss, memory loss, allergic reaction to anesthetic, tiredness, weight gain, rashes, clumsiness, mood changes, thinning bones, and weight loss.
