milky4130 Posted June 15, 2015 Share 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.

NixM Posted June 15, 2015 Share Deon Engela Constantiaberg MediclinicBut I think he is about 400% med aid rates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NixM Posted June 15, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 15, 2015 Share Btw Milky... even if the guys charge 400% or so, negotiate. Negotiate negotiate negotiate. 400% is probably going to be the norm, unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
