Dr Norman M. Lester is a cardiologist at Life Wilgers Hospital in Die Wilgers, east of Pretoria. Listings for him are unusually scattered – directories variously place him in Die Wilgers, Muckleneuk, Centurion and Sunnyside – so this page gives only the address and number confirmed on a hospital group’s own directory.
Official contact channels
- Rooms: 012 807 0376, published by Life Healthcare as +27 12 807 0376.
- Life Healthcare hotline: 011 219 9000 – a national group line, not a route to the rooms.
- No email address is published on the Life Healthcare profile.
A caution about other numbers circulating for this practice. Several listings give a second Centurion practice at Midstream Hill Medical Park with its own number and a Mediclinic network mailbox. That page returns a 403 Forbidden error and could not be read, in the in-app browser or in a full desktop browser, so those details are not reproduced here. If you are given a Centurion number for Dr Lester, confirm it on the rooms line above before relying on it.
What this organisation provides
- Cardiology – the medical diagnosis and management of heart and circulatory disease in adults.
- His published qualifications are MBChB, University of Pretoria, 2001; MMed (Internal Medicine), University of Pretoria, 2007; and a Certificate in Cardiology from the Colleges of Medicine, 2010 – the standard South African route of physician first, cardiologist after.
- Admits at Life Wilgers Hospital, which has a cardiac catheterisation service, so angiography and stenting are done at the same hospital rather than by onward referral.
Chest pain with sweating or breathlessness is an emergency – call 10177, or 112 from a mobile.
Address and operating information
- Suite 1A, Doctor’s Consulting Block, Life Wilgers Hospital, Denneboom Road, Die Wilgers Extension 14, Pretoria, 0040
- The rooms are in the consulting block attached to the hospital, not in the hospital itself.
- Consulting hours are not published. Specialist rooms run by appointment during weekday business hours.
- Life Healthcare does not publish HPCSA registration numbers in its directory. To confirm a practitioner is registered and in good standing, contact the Health Professions Council on 012 389 9300.
Support and escalation routes
- Bring previous ECGs, echocardiograms and angiogram reports, and the images themselves where you have them. In cardiology the comparison with an earlier tracing frequently changes the reading of a new one.
- Angiography, stenting and device implantation need scheme pre-authorisation before admission. The cardiologist, the hospital and any anaesthetist bill separately, so confirm what has been authorised and what the shortfall will be.
- Complaints about professional conduct or standard of care go to the Health Professions Council of South Africa on 012 389 9300. Scheme disputes, including refusals on Prescribed Minimum Benefit cardiac conditions, go to the Council for Medical Schemes after the scheme’s own appeal.
