Dr Corrie Botha Neurosurgeon

I had an appointment with Dr Botha on the 8th of January this year. I had a C6-7 fusion in May 2023, but still experience neck pain. I live on the South Coast KZN, and we have no specialists in this area. I was visiting family, so decided to see Dr Botha. Two words come to mind; rude and arrogant. No good morning or introduction. After seeing where I live, he asked what I was doing there. I explained the situation. He said that there is 0% success rate with neck fusions, so what did I expect him to do? With that, he stood up and said, 'I can't help you. Find out about pain management.' I was with him for maybe 5 minutes, to be dismissed without offering any advice except to find out about pain management. He has claimed R1898.06 from medical aid. Is this how he makes his money? I find it incredible that he has the audacity to claim for this so called 'consultation.' I read a review about Dr Botha, unfortunately after I had seen him, which related the same experience I had. He may be an excellent surgeon but has zero empathy with his patients. I am so angry that we can be taken for a ride like this and he, of course, is laughing all the way to the bank.
