The Dr Badenhorst practising in Nelspruit is Dr Pieter Badenhorst, a physician in internal medicine with rooms in the Medical Centre at Mediclinic Nelspruit. Mediclinic publishes his rooms details, his professional registration and his practice number, which together make this one of the easier specialist practices to verify before you call.

Official contact channels

Use the two 013 numbers, which are ordinary Nelspruit landlines. An unlabelled 086 number in a doctor listing is very often a fax, and dialling it expecting a receptionist wastes a call.

What this organisation provides

Those two reference numbers are worth keeping. The HPCSA number lets you confirm on the council register that the practitioner is registered and in which category, and the practice number is what a medical scheme uses to identify the practice exactly, which matters when a surname is as common as this one.

A physician in internal medicine is a specialist rather than a general practitioner, so most medical schemes expect a referral before they will fund the consultation.

Address and operating information

The rooms are in the Medical Centre attached to the hospital rather than in the hospital wards, so follow the signage for the Medical Centre and the second floor rather than the main hospital reception.

Support and escalation routes

Quote the practice number when you deal with a medical scheme. Badenhorst is a common surname among South African practitioners, and several are in practice in different provinces, so the number removes any doubt about which practice a claim belongs to.
