Two specialists practise under the name Dr Ngetu, in different provinces and different fields. Dr Lumko Ngetu is an ophthalmologist in Vereeniging, Gauteng. Dr Thandeka Judith Ngetu is a paediatrician in Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal. Contact details published by a hospital group exist for the Vereeniging practice and are given below.
Official contact channels
- Dr Lumko Ngetu, ophthalmologist: 016 440 5314
- Postal address: PO Box 3215, Vereeniging, 1930
- HPCSA registration number: MP0648750
- Practice number: 0260000767298
- Dr Thandeka Judith Ngetu, paediatrician in Richards Bay, appears in practitioner listings, but no hospital group or practice website publishes her rooms contact, so no number for her is given here
Quote the practice number when you deal with a medical scheme. With two Ngetu specialists in unrelated disciplines, an eye claim and a paediatric claim are easy to confuse on paperwork that carries only a surname.
What this organisation provides
- Ophthalmology, meaning specialist eye and vision care
- Qualifications: MBChB from the University of KwaZulu-Natal in 2005, DA (SA) from the Colleges of Medicine in 2010, and in 2018 both FC Ophth (SA) and an MMed in Ophthalmology from the University of the Free State
- He practises at both Mediclinic Vereeniging and Mediclinic Emfuleni
Because he consults at two Mediclinic hospitals in the Vaal, confirm which one your appointment is at when you book. A referral naming only the doctor will not tell you which site to attend.
Address and operating information
- Consulting rooms: Suite 211, Mediclinic Vereeniging, corner Hofmeyer and Joubert Street, Vereeniging, 1900
- He also practises at Mediclinic Emfuleni
- Consulting hours are not published by the hospital group
The rooms are in the medical suites at Mediclinic Vereeniging rather than in the hospital itself, so follow the signage for the suites and the second floor.
Support and escalation routes
- Appointments and accounts: the rooms on 016 440 5314
- Confirm registration or raise a conduct complaint: the Health Professions Council of South Africa, quoting MP0648750
- Complaints about the hospital rather than the specialist: Mediclinic, which runs its own complaints process
- Disputes about what your medical scheme paid: the scheme first, then the Council for Medical Schemes
Eye procedures often carry a separate charge for a lens or device on top of the professional fee, and that item is the one most commonly short paid, so check the authorisation covers it before the date.
