Dr Kees de Hoog is a physician – a specialist in internal medicine – practising in Klerksdorp and admitting at Life Anncron Hospital. The details below are from Life Healthcare’s own doctor directory.
Official contact channels
- Rooms: 018 468 1228, published by Life Healthcare as +27 18 468 1228.
- Life Healthcare hotline: 011 219 9000 – a group line for hospital and patient services, not a route to the rooms.
- No email address is published for this practice. Life Healthcare’s doctor entries are briefer than some other groups and carry a telephone number and address only.
Because no mailbox is published, appointments and results go through the rooms telephone. Be wary of any email address for this practice that you find on a directory site rather than on the practice’s or hospital group’s own pages.
What this organisation provides
- Internal medicine – the diagnosis and management of complex, multi-system and chronic illness in adults.
- A physician is the specialist a GP refers to when a problem spans several organ systems, when a diagnosis is unclear, or when several chronic conditions interact.
- Typical scope includes hypertension, diabetes and its complications, heart failure, kidney disease, infections, and the general medical care of patients admitted to hospital.
- Physicians treat medically. A physician who identifies a surgical problem refers on to the relevant surgical speciality.
- Admissions are to Life Anncron Hospital in Klerksdorp, a private hospital with specialists across medical and surgical disciplines.
Address and operating information
- Corner of Ametis and Marmer Streets, Wilkoppies, Klerksdorp, 2570
- Wilkoppies is the Klerksdorp suburb where the private hospital and most specialist rooms are clustered, so the rooms are near the hospital rather than inside it.
- Practising hospital: Life Anncron Hospital, Klerksdorp.
- Consulting hours are not published. Specialist physicians work weekday business hours by appointment, with ward rounds usually early in the morning.
- 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 your referral letter, a current medicine list and any recent blood results or scans. For a physician consultation the medicine list matters more than most patients expect, because interactions between chronic medicines are a common reason for referral.
- Many conditions a physician manages are Prescribed Minimum Benefits on the chronic disease list, including diabetes, hypertension, cardiac failure and chronic renal disease. A scheme must fund PMB conditions even when day-to-day benefits are exhausted, subject to protocols and designated providers.
- Scheme disputes and PMB refusals go to the Council for Medical Schemes once the scheme’s own appeal has been exhausted.
- Complaints about professional conduct or standard of care go to the Health Professions Council of South Africa on 012 389 9300.
- Complaints about the hospital – nursing, admission, billing of the hospital account – go to Life Anncron Hospital and then to Life Healthcare on the group hotline. Specialists bill separately from the hospital, so a specialist account query cannot be resolved by the hospital and vice versa.
- Standard of care in any health establishment can also be taken to the Office of Health Standards Compliance and its Health Ombud.
