A vision to behold

I am not easily impressed but the excellent service, health staff and treatment I received at Visiomed Eye & Laser Clinic has impressed me no end. I had to have a cateract removed at this medical health facility and from the time I entered their premises to the time that I left I was treated like a VIP. If it wasn’t for the fact that most of Visiomed’s health workers spoke Afrikaans I would have believed that I was being treated at a world-class health facility in a First World country like Switzerland.

Notwithstanding the fact that the health workers were weighed down by all the additional paraphernalia because of the coronavirus, they remained extremely stoic, professional and friendly throughout the procedure. It was obvious that it was not simply another job for them but a calling. Dr Robbertze (I hope that’s how you spell it), the anaesthetist, was in a class of his own and if Medical Aid gave me a choice in the matter it would go without saying that he would be my first and only choice.

Kudos also go to Dr Hein van Wyk, the Opthamologist, who did the procedure.

Other medical facilities (and I’ve been a patient in many of them) ought take a page from Visiomed’s book.
