Dr Deetlefs is a caring, professional, highly competent Gastroenterologist. In 2013, I was fortunate to be referred to him and in 2021 when my condition took another turn I felt confident to contact his practice again. This doctor listens and creates and atmosphere where as the patient I feel I am in good hands, this man knows what he is doing and he is interested in helping me His comprehensive, after procedure, diagnostics and therapy report confirms that he is focused on your well being.Dr Deetlefs is well respected by his colleagues and his patients.The administrative side of the practice is kind and competent.I can confidently recommend Dr Eduan.

We came all the way from Polokwane to see Dr Deetlefs, and I would do it a 100 times over again!I have been struggling with my health for a very long time with doctors always brushing me off. I can say that Dr Deetlefs was the first doctor who genuinely listened to me, and who I feel has helped me and put my mind at ease. He even called me personally at 5 oclock on a Saturday with my test results and to hear if we arrived home safely. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone! He makes you feel so comfortable and the fact that he actually cares just puts your mind at ease.Thank you so much Doctor for all your help, I am so grateful!

Weve been to so many different doctors, this doctor is the only one we found who genuinely cares, hes so understanding, he asks all the right questions. He doesnt rush through the consultation, he makes sure he understands fully so that he can give the best diagnoses. Reception staff are also ready to assist with anything!

Dr. Deetlefs is a fantastic surgeon. He communicates very well before and after surgery. He writes detailed reports of your condition and also goes that extra mile for those that need it, such as myself. He is a kind and caring Gastroenterologist / specialist of note. A big thank you!

Was actually hesitating to write a good review as it will make it more difficult to become an appointment. Finally someone who knows his field of expertise and sees the bigger picture. Only bummer is, I havent found him sooner, would have spared me a lot.

I have never come across a specialist that has shown as much care and professionalism as Dr. Deetlefs. From my initial consultation to post procedure care, Dr. Deetlefs always communicated very thoroughly and always made me feel confident and well cared for. He even provided me with the report that he sent to my GP who referred me to him and then provided me with a comprehensive post procedure report. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing to see a Gastroenterologist.

I returned for a third colonoscopy, the first five years ago. As before, very thorough and reassuring. Thank you. No problems at all except that an email enquiry afterwards to Vincent Pallotti regarding hospital co-payment was not replied to. That might be worth following up.

My husband has serious white coat phobia and Dr Deetleefs was patient and understanding. Reports are thorough and feedback is detailed. Was not necessary to ever ask when results were forthcoming. Will not hesitate to recommend him.

Dr. Deetlefs is a superb doctor. He makes you feel at ease (important when its the first time you seeing him for his specialist consult), he communicates well and is very thorough (both before & after the endoscopy). His detailed reports make everything extremely clear and he follows up afterwards, which makes you feel supported. Thank you for the excellent service.

Dr Deetlefs is a fantastic surgeon. He communicates very well before and after surgery. I had other suspected problems, out of his normal working areas, and he went that extra mile for me to do an x-ray for sore hips, and a sonar for ovarian cancer. My second procedure this month, he took photos of other areas and referred me to suitable specialists. He is a very nice man, makes you feel very comfortable. Although I live across the Rd from Blaauwberg Hospital, I saw Dr Deetlefs at Milnerton mediclininc as my GP said he was the best, as did all the nursing staff in Milnerton, and he most certainly lived up to that. He did not disappoint and sent me a voice mail as well as a written report the day after my procedure. I was very impressed. Top notch!

I experienced following in the care of Dr Deetlefs1. During first consultation very thorough investigation of symptoms, illness history and the lifestyle2. Quick elimination process and arrangements made for relevant test on short notice3. Detailed explanation of processes and desired outcome4. Very caring approach during pre/post testing and immediate feedback on findings5. Dr Deetlefs phoned me at 9 am on Public Holiday to discuss outcome of pathological report6. Charges presented to my Medical Aid within acceptable range and fees for consultation and/or procedure very fair7. Immediate involvement of good dietician to support my treatment planDr Deetlefs ` conduct and performance exceeded my expectations by farso unless something drastic happens I am afraid I “adopted” my Gastrologist for life.

My son was referred to Dr Deetlefs and our appointment was originally the 25th of May. After contacting his office and e-mailing the referral letter to him, i was contacted 20 minutes later and the hospital was book within a day. It is such a relieve to finally understand my sons condition after being misdiagnosed by various Doctors. Professional, good bedside manner, proper explanation, my review do not do justice to what an awesome doctor he is. His staff is friendly and swift reply back. Instead of 5 stars - I will give him and his staff 20 out of 10.

I found Dr Deetlefs to be very professional and caring. He explained things in a way I could understand. On the day of procedure things went efficiently and smoothly. He checked in on me straight after in my ward and phoned me at home the day after, which was a Saturday, to explain results and gave me further feedback on the Sunday. I would highly recommend him.

Dr Deetlef and the team at his practice, and Vincent Pallotti Hospital, are excellent.

I went for a routine colonoscopy. Dr Deetlefs called me the night before to check my medical history and check all in order. On the day of the procedure the hospital staff were fast, efficient, polite and went the extra mile to make me comfortable. The doctor again explained the procedure in the theatre and gave me feedback after I woke up. Very attentive and explains everything so you are totally comfortable. All in all an excellent experience.

This is the 2nd time Dr. Eduan Deetlefs did a colonoscopy and removal of polyps on my husband John. He is an amazing thorough Professional with an exceptional bed side manner. We received a call before the procedure and post operatively a thorough detailed report and personal call was done. He instills confidence in his patience and certainly has the ability to make them feel at ease. Albeit that he is such a busy Gastroenterologist, he always makes time to communicate thoroughly with his patients. He was recommended to us by Dr Boer an outstanding surgeon who sung Eduans praises. We can certainly recommend him without any hesitation.

Review №43

Dr. Eduan Deetlefs is by far the most thorough medical professional I have ever had the pleasure to meet.Some years ago he diagnosed my son, after 20 years of misdiagnoses by many health professionals, with EE. After a gruelling patient list, at the end of his day at 22h35, Dr Deetlefs sat on Grants bed and patiently showed him all the images of his oesophagus and explained his problem to him. My son asked if he could have copies of the images and Dr Deetlefs there and then copied them to my sons memory stick. With the prescribed treatment plan my son has had no further issues to this day. I have consequently recommended Dr. Deetlefs at every opportunity and know of three referred friends who continue to do the same.Thus, when I recently had a chronic problem I did not hesitate to choose to see Dr. Deetlefs, despite him not being on the approved list of my medical aid. I wanted to go to the best. Dr Deetlefs first requested every possible non-invasive test to diagnose my condition prior to performing a gastroscopy and colonoscopy. The entire experience, from his reception staff to his hospital staff was super-friendly, fast, efficient and very reassuring. One is made to feel comfortable, important and special every step of the way. Nothing is too much trouble at any time. The cherry on top was when Dr. Deetlefs kindly reduced his fee as my medical aid was the only disappointment in this entire process.Dr. Deetlefs keeps his patient informed EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. One even gets a copy of the report sent to your referring doctor. And, uniquely, Dr. Deetlefs is directly available to his patient, via email, should one have any concerns or questions along the way. He is super prompt to reply.What more can any patient ask for?!?Go ahead, give his rooms a call. You will not be disappointed. :)))

I could not be happier that I chose Dr Deetliefs to attend to my son’ chronic GIT issues. He listened in a careful,, professional and compassionate manner.He referred us initially to establish whether the problem was possibly a psychological one before just going the surgical route.Once deemed necessary, the procedure was done on my special needs son with the utmost reassurance, compassion and follow up that neither my son nor I suffered any stress from the procedure.I can not recommend him highly enough.

I cannot criticise any part of the experience I had dealing with Dr Deetlef or his staff when booking and having my procedures.To start, Kay-Lynn and Subria were so helful with setting up the procedure date and dealing with my many queries. At the hospital the two nurses who I dealt with Janet and Candice were amazing. Dr Deetleff himself was wonderful, so approachable, down to earth and shows such a genuine intetest for his patients. The feedback he gives is put in laymans terms so you understand completely. I will definitely go back to Dr Deetlef for my next checkup!

I have been a patient of Dr Deetlefs for more than 2 years. He is by far the most compassionate physician I have ever encountered. He is also very knowledgeable and highly skilled.

Review №74

My brother needed an urgent gastroscopy. He gave us the cheapest quote in Cape Town and we got the procedure done just three days after my first enquiry. My brother was examined by two previous doctors so Dr Deetlefs didnt charge a consult fee, as the previous doctor determined he urgently needed a gastroscopy. We are cash patients and this procedure was affordable, whereas we were quoted over R7k - R15k by other doctors, we didnt pay close to this with Dr Deetlefs. My brother was very happy with his whole demeanour just before the procedure and directly after. Such a gem, he saved us thousands of Rands. We were assisted by two very attentive, efficient, understanding and obliging Medical Receptionists - Sobria and Vanesha, and we couldnt be more appreciative. We will definitely use his services and that of Cure Day Hospital should a need arise in the future.
