Dr Shembe Contact Details

Dr Saba Shembe is a general practitioner in North Riding, Randburg, practising as Pholamed. The practice is open seven days a week including public holidays, which is rare for a GP and is the main reason to know about it.

Official contact channels

Telephone: 010 449 1448
Email: admin@pholamed.com – the practice administration mailbox, under the Pholamed practice name.
The practice offers WhatsApp booking through a button on its website; no WhatsApp number is printed on the page, so start from drsabashembe.co.za.

There is a second Dr Shembe. A Dr Duduza Zenzeleni Shembe practises as a dentist in Scottsville, Pietermaritzburg – a different person, a different profession and a different province. Those details are not listed here because no first-party source for that practice could be confirmed, but be aware the two are easily conflated.

What this organisation provides

General practice – first assessment, everyday illness, chronic disease management, and the referral letter that unlocks specialist care at the right benefit rate on most medical schemes.
Extended and weekend hours, which in practice is what distinguishes this practice: an ordinary GP consultation is available on a Saturday, a Sunday or a public holiday without resorting to a hospital casualty unit.
That matters financially as well as practically. A casualty visit for a non-emergency is billed at emergency rates and frequently comes out of a different, smaller benefit than a GP consultation.

The practice website does not publish an HPCSA registration number. To confirm a practitioner is registered and in good standing, contact the Health Professions Council on 012 389 9300.

Support and escalation routes

A GP with Sunday hours is not an emergency service. For chest pain, stroke symptoms, serious injury or difficulty breathing, call an ambulance on 10177, or 112 from a mobile phone, and go to an emergency unit.
Ask for the referral letter before seeing a specialist. Most schemes pay a specialist visit at a better rate, or only at all, when a GP has referred.
Complaints about professional conduct or standard of care go to the Health Professions Council of South Africa on 012 389 9300. Scheme disputes go to the Council for Medical Schemes after the scheme’s own appeal.
