The Dr Rust practising in Klerksdorp is an oncologist working from Wilmed Park Hospital and Heart Centre. Cancer care is arranged differently from an ordinary consultation, so the way you reach the practice matters more than usual.
Official contact channels
- Practice: 018 004 0081, published as +27 18 004 0081
- No email address is published by the hospital group for this practice
- Consulting hours are not published, so confirm them when your referral is made
Oncology appointments are normally arranged by the referring doctor rather than booked cold by a patient. If you have just been given a diagnosis, ask the referring practice whether they are making the appointment or whether you should call this number yourself.
What this organisation provides
- Oncology, listed by the hospital group under medical or radiation oncology
- Medical oncology means drug treatment such as chemotherapy, while radiation oncology means radiotherapy, and the two are different treatment paths
- The practice covers three hospitals: Wilmed Park Hospital and Heart Centre, Sunningdale Private Hospital and Daleside Day Hospital
Ask which of the three sites your treatment will run from, and whether that changes between cycles. Radiotherapy in particular is usually delivered where the equipment is, which is not necessarily where you were first consulted.
For Klerksdorp patients the relevant site is Wilmed Park Hospital and Heart Centre. Sunningdale and Daleside are separate hospitals and a mistaken assumption about the venue can mean a long drive on a treatment day.
Address and operating information
- Klerksdorp site: Wilmed Park Hospital and Heart Centre
- Also practising at Sunningdale Private Hospital and Daleside Day Hospital
- The hospital group publishes no street address or room number for the practice itself
Because no room number is published, ask for directions when you confirm the appointment. Oncology units are frequently in a dedicated wing rather than in the main hospital reception area.
Support and escalation routes
- Appointments, treatment scheduling and accounts: the practice on 018 004 0081
- Complaints about clinical care or professional conduct: the Health Professions Council of South Africa
- Complaints about the hospital rather than the practice: Lenmed, which operates these hospitals and runs its own complaints process
- Disputes about what your medical scheme paid: the scheme first, then the Council for Medical Schemes
Cancer treatment is usually funded from a scheme oncology benefit that is separate from ordinary hospital cover, and it is normally registered on a treatment plan before it begins. Get that registration confirmed in writing early, because a plan approved late can leave the first cycles disputed.
