  • Sometimes in life, we are reminded that there are higher forces at work looking out for us, that we don't always understand. My encounter with Dr. Kotze felt like a situation of sorts. Due to my own negligence, I had a painful experience when I crushed my thumb in the car door. I`m truly grateful for Dr. Kotze appearing in my life and elevating the quality of medical practitioners in Cape Town. He is truly a lightworker and his presence in our society is very much valued and appreciated.  His staff are very friendly and go above and beyond to make sure his patients are well informed and taken care of.

  • I am very pleased with the professional and efficient service I received from Dr Kotze and his team. From the first interaction until now 7 days after the operation I was thoroughly informed and I received the best outcome I could hope for and up until now all signs are that the operation to repair the flexor tendon in my left hand ring finger was successful. My overall experience is … very pleased.

  • I hereby would like to express my deepest thankfulness for your great expertise and your clear tone of voice/advice concerning the healing of my hand. Furthermore, I feel really comfortable with the very professional work of Skye from the Therapy in action team.

  • I wish to advise of my experience at Dr J Kotze. I was referred by my GP as I had terrible scarring from previous operations, as well as my scarring from my first tummy tuck where the scar had migrated up to my waist area!. I felt instantly comfortable with Jaco and discussed what can be done. One week later I was on the slab, after he had drawn quite a few marks where he would be repairing the damaged area. He is cautious in his approach but wow what a job he performed. I’m extremely happy with my result and look forward to any other procedures going forward.

  • Dr. Jaco I would like to say thank you very much for excellent work with my hand surgery/carpal tunnel. We received so much calmness and empathy from Dr and from Blaise! 5/6 weeks further and my hand feels 100%. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the extra steps you take for the patients.

  • Just a short message to say thank you so much that doctor helped me so well and that I can now fully look forward again. I will be eternally grateful to Doctor for that. I only wish doctor blessings, prosperity and success for the future. Thank you very much once again.
