Becoming a doctor was always a lifelong dream. My father was my inspiration, I watched him from a young age taking care of his patients and helping the community. 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.

- General orthopaedic & joint surgery
- Orthopaedic spinal & deformity surgery

- Hand injuries
- IOD cases
- bone infections & tumours
- Medical negligence investigation& mediation

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”.
