Meet The Team

Dr. Maricia grew up on a farm in Mpumalanga where her father was a grain farmer. In  2006 she moved to Pretoria where she completed high school and her medical training at the Medical University of South Africa.

After graduating she completed her two year internship at the Free State Hospital Complex in Bloemfontein where she met her husband, Dr. Zander. Her community service year was well spent at Kimberley Hospital, with 6 monthly rotations in Plastic-and Reconstructive Surgery as well as Obstetrics and Gynaecology.

Dr. Maricia is experienced and excels in the fields of aesthetic- and functional medicine.

Holistic, individualised patient care is key when she takes on any medical case. She believes that each individual is unique and should medically be treated according to their uniqueness. She believes in achieving balance in all fields of the lives of her patients, be it mental health, physical health, lifestyle coaching and fitness.

Dr. Maricia is currently registered as an ACLS-EP provider. She has completed multiple certificate trainings in aesthetic and functional medicine and is currently completing her advanced diploma in aesthetic medicine.

Dr G grew up in Kloof, a small town just outside Durban. He has always had a passion to help people from a young age and loved doing outreaches with his church group in his hometown. It was from this desire to help people that he discovered his calling to be a doctor. He excelled in high school and matriculated with full distinctions. Having earned a scholarship, he moved to Pretoria in 2006, where he studied medicine through the University of Pretoria.

After graduating, Dr G moved back to KZN, where he did his internship and community service training at Prince Mshiyeni Memorial Hospital, an extremely busy hospital where he gained vast experience in all fields of medicine. He spent rotations in Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Primary Healthcare in rural clinics, as well as Anaesthetics as a community service officer, but particularly fell in love with the latter.

That’s when he moved to Pietermaritzburg complex, and attained a Diploma in Anaesthetics, through Edendale and Greys Hospital. He spent 2 years in PMB, before moving back to Gauteng at the end of 2018, and joining private practice.

Through hard work, passion and his caring nature, Dr G has built a successful and thriving practice in Johannesburg. He believes in a balanced, integrated and evidence-based approach to self care, where educating patients on physical health, mental health and spiritual health is key to living a full, happy and healthy life. He has developed a keen interest in IV Therapy medicine, and is currently furthering his studies with a Diploma in IV Therapy to make sure his patient’s get the very best and up to date vitamin therapies. He truly values his patients, and sets the highest standards, to ensure his patients get quality treatment and care.

IV drips are my specialty as I have always been fascinated by the human vein system. I also admire the benefits given by IV drips which include that radiant glow, improved immune systems and much more. IV drips also have a long-lasting effect so the benefits will be experienced over an extended time.
