I come from Jhb and have happily semi grated to this beautiful and wellorganized city of Cape Town. I qualified a long time ago and still live every single day that I see patients/ customers
I love seeing children and especially kids that battle at school. We dont have all the answers but hopefully we can assist to make things easier for them.
My family and specifically my grandkids are my 1st passion. My other passion is wildlife and birdlife photography.
My favorite part of Mullers is the professionalism of all the staff. Everyone loves coming to work which is rare in this world.
I am in awe of the wonderful equipment we are fortunate to use namely a Fundus camera and OCT found at all our practices. These make pathology easier to detect.
