Dr David Masuku is a specialist physician and pulmonologist working from rooms inside Mediclinic Potchefstroom. Unlike most practitioners at this end of the directory, the practice runs its own website, so the details below come from the practice itself rather than from a third-party medical listing.
Official contact channels
- Practice: 068 184 6398
- Practice email: drdmasukupractice@gmail.com
- Rooms: Suite 206, Mediclinic Potchefstroom, 66 Meyer Street, Potchefstroom, 2531
Both routes belong to the practice rather than to the doctor personally. The number is published under Call us as the practice line, and the mailbox is named for the practice rather than for an individual.
One thing to note before sending anything sensitive. The practice mailbox is hosted on a free consumer email service rather than on the practice domain. That is common for smaller specialist practices and is not a sign of anything wrong, but if you are sending scans, referral letters or identity documents it is worth confirming receipt by telephone rather than assuming delivery.
No HPCSA registration number and no practice number are published on the site. Ask for the practice number when you book, because your medical scheme will need it before it can pay the claim.
What this organisation provides
The practice covers internal medicine and respiratory medicine, with published areas of clinical interest in:
- Pulmonology consultations, covering diagnosis and management of respiratory conditions
- Obstructive airway diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis and cystic fibrosis
- Interstitial lung diseases
- Intensive and critical care medicine
- Diagnostic and interventional pulmonology
What sets the practice apart is the diagnostic testing it runs on site, across cardiac, respiratory and neurophysiology work:
- Full lung function testing
- Echocardiogram, and exercise stress testing on ergometer or treadmill
- Polysomnography and CPAP titration for sleep studies
- ECG Holter monitoring
- Carotid doppler studies
- EEG and nerve conduction studies
That list is worth reading before you accept a referral elsewhere for a test. A practice running its own sleep studies, lung function testing and cardiac stress testing can often complete an investigation in one place rather than sending you across town, which matters when several results need to be read together.
The practice also works with a wider team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers and dietitians, describing the approach as addressing health physically, emotionally and socially. Published qualifications are a BSc, MBChB, FCP(SA), an MMed in internal medicine and pulmonology certification.
Address and operating information
The rooms are at Suite 206, Mediclinic Potchefstroom, 66 Meyer Street, Potchefstroom, 2531. No consulting hours are published, so establish them when booking.
Rooms inside a hospital are not the hospital, and the distinction decides who you should be calling. An admission, a ward enquiry or a hospital account is a Mediclinic Potchefstroom matter. Consultations, test results, appointments and the specialist account are practice matters and go to the number above.
Support and escalation routes
Use the practice for appointments, results and account queries, and expect to be asked for a referral, since specialist practices commonly work on referral from a general practitioner.
Check authorisation before any of the specialised diagnostics. Medical schemes frequently require pre-authorisation for sleep studies and similar investigations, and that authorisation comes from your scheme rather than from the practice, although the rooms can usually tell you which codes the scheme will ask for. Arriving for a sleep study without it is the common way to end up paying for one yourself.
Complaints divide by subject. Clinical conduct and professional standards go to the Health Professions Council of South Africa. Anything concerning the hospital, its facilities or its nursing goes through the Mediclinic patient feedback route. A dispute about what a medical scheme paid is a scheme matter first, and then one for the Council for Medical Schemes.
