Becoming an orthopaedic surgeon was my passion, I knew I wanted be one the first day I stepped into a theatre. My Uncle Prof Shunmugam “Teddy” Govender motivated and mentored me to become a spinal surgeon.

My private practise was established in 2010 and is based around treating all general orthopaedic and spinal conditions.

Together we provide a complete orthopaedic and rehabilitation service. We strive to get our patients back to as much function as possible by using our proudly South African principles of Ubuntu and “always willing to make a plan”.
