The Birthing Team

Sandton's working parents depend on GPs who understand antenatal care, paediatric health, and the practical challenges of managing pregnancy and early childhood while maintaining a career in a high-pressure environment. The practice becomes a touchstone for families navigating fertility questions, occupational health during pregnancy, and the need for coordinated care between obstetricians, paediatricians, and their own GP. Many Sandton patients have medical aid that covers maternity benefits, but understanding the fine print—what's covered, what requires pre-authorisation, when to refer to a specialist—is part of the service. These GPs also serve as gatekeepers for immunisation records, development screening, and the routine but crucial care that keeps children healthy through their early years, all while accommodating the schedule pressures that define working parents in this area.
