Welcome to Medpark Family Practice
Our team of doctors offer a comprehensive service for any age group, managing a wide range of conditions from preventive medicine as well as acute and chronic conditions. In particular our doctors have an interest in ADHD, HIV, Obstetrics and Sports Medicine.
Then
More than 20 years ago a few doctors in town decided to get together and start a practice that was patient-centred. The idea of a “group-practice” was quite new and the first of its kind in Polokwane (known as Pietersburg at that time). The idea was to cater to patient-needs by providing an all year round service with longer hours
Now
Today, “group-practices” are very common with several even in Polokwane. Things have also changed at Medpark. Medicine have changed, people have come and gone, but our commitment to patient-centred service has not changed.
