Dr Nel is a caring doctor who truly listens. She took the time to understand my chronic fatigue issues and developed a comprehensive treatment plan. I finally feel like myself again after months of struggling.
After years of avoiding help for my anxiety, I finally visited Pretoria Health. The psychiatric assessment was thorough and compassionate. Dr Nel explained everything clearly and I never felt judged. Highly recommend.
Welcoming environment with phenomenal service. Would definitely recommend.
