What our patients say
“I would like to wish the most amazing team, Happy Holidays! Thank you for all your care, support and excellent work. You are the best multidisciplinary team! A special thank you to Dr Lyn, Dr Fatima, Dr Rika, Dr Alexander, Shaziah, Natasha and the kind radiographers!”
“Dr Lynne Fortuin. I will not swap you for anyone.”
“Dr Hoosain is a wonderful caring doctor. Thank you for what you have done for me.”
“During this traumatic time and pandemic, our lives are often surrounded by fear. In December 2020, I had to see Dr Apffelstaedt for an important visit. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well Covid-19 processes are monitored and managed at the practice. The doctors and all staff adhere to these same protocols. Even whilst having a mammogram, ultrasound or any other visits, COVID protocols are strictly adhered to. I am grateful to the team for making sure that it is always a relaxed and safe experience.”
“In May 2020 I discovered a small lump in my breast. In the following weeks I had to visit Dr Apffelstaedt quite a few times. I was pleasantly surprised by the efficiency and strict protocols adhered to by the friendly staff and doctors, in spite of the difficult circumstances caused by Covid-19. I would encourage you to stay healthy by keeping your appointments regularly. I am certainly very glad I did.”
