As a woman and a specialist in women’s health, I understand how important it is to feel safe, respected, and understood during your gynaecological care. Over the years, I’ve had countless patients tell me how much they value having a female gynaecologist—someone who listens, relates, and truly cares. It’s a privilege to be that person for women in Chatsworth and Durban.
The Rise in Demand for Female Gynaecologists
Many women today are choosing a female gynaecologist for reasons that go far beyond medical expertise. For some, it’s about comfort and modesty. For others, it’s about feeling heard and validated. As a female gynaecologist at Life Chatsmed Garden Hospital.
I strive to create a space where every patient can feel at ease, ask questions, and receive care without judgment. I’ve seen a growing number of women, from teenagers attending their first visit to mothers navigating perimenopause—who want a practitioner who truly understands the female experience. That’s what drives me every day.
