Best Cpt Knee Surgeons

[milky4130]

Hi Guys,

 

Any reccomendations for a knee surgeon in Cape Town, that specialises in Acl & Pcl reconstruction, must practice at either a Medi Clinic or Life Hospital & don't charge above exorbitant medical aid rates or at least not anything in 200% region, I know there are going to be some "smart people" that will say pick one but I can't have all of the above, yes it's difficult to find this Dr but the next closest who fits the bill will have to do, much appreciated, Thanks.

But I think he is about 400% med aid rates.

Always worth negotiating with specialists they will often drop their rates. The anaesthetists are the problem you don't get to see them before hand and then they hit you with a huge bill. Often more than the surgeon

I think there's a hip and knee clinic at Vincent Pallotti

But go see see Patrick Gardner the Chiro in Sea Point before you let ANYONE operate.

 

NB: That must be the last option.27 21 433 1116

Kent77, do you even know what an ACL and PCL reconstruction is ? Doesn't sound like it.

Can a chiro repair cruciate ligaments? No wonder they refer to themselves as Dr....

operating is already the last resort I've been walking/riding around with a torn ligament for more than 5 years now. With all due respect what is the chiro going to tell me that I don't already know after 2 MRI scans, one 2 weeks ago & the other 5 years ago?

Dude use it or don't use it. It's your choice.

Short answer... nothing.

Btw Milky... even if the guys charge 400% or so, negotiate. Negotiate negotiate negotiate.

 

400% is probably going to be the norm, unfortunately
