Dr Farai Dube is a cardiologist and specialist physician in Johannesburg, and the founder of the Sandton Heart Inc practice. He is listed by more than one private hospital group, which is why his name turns up at several addresses.
Official contact channels
- Practice: 011 458 2362
- Email: info@sandtonheartinc.co.za
- Practice website: sandtonheartinc.co.za
- Appointments are booked through the practice rather than through the hospital switchboard
One practice number covers his consulting work, so use it regardless of which hospital you have been referred to. The hospital switchboard can tell you where the rooms are but cannot book his list.
What this organisation provides
- Cardiology, meaning specialist heart care, alongside general specialist physician work
- Dr Dube has been in practice since 2002 and founded Sandton Heart Inc
- Qualifications published by the hospital group: MBChB from Walter Sisulu University, Diploma in HIV Management (SA), FCP (SA), MPH from Wits, and a Certificate in Cardiology (SA)
- He has served as a Cardiology Fellow and Junior Consultant at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, and as a Registrar in Internal Medicine
Cardiology is a referral speciality. Most medical schemes will expect a referral from a general practitioner or physician before funding the consultation, and a cardiac procedure normally needs separate pre-authorisation.
Address and operating information
- Busamed Modderfontein Private Hospital: Lower Ground Floor, Doctors Suites
- He is also listed as a doctor at Mediclinic Morningside
- Consulting hours are not published by either hospital group, so confirm them when booking
Because he consults at more than one hospital, confirm which address your appointment is at when you book. Modderfontein and Morningside are a considerable drive apart, and a referral letter naming only the doctor will not tell you which one to attend.
Support and escalation routes
- Appointments, accounts and referrals: the practice on 011 458 2362 or info@sandtonheartinc.co.za
- Complaints about clinical care or professional conduct: the Health Professions Council of South Africa
- Complaints about the hospital rather than the specialist: the relevant hospital group, since Busamed and Mediclinic each run their own process
- Disputes about what your medical scheme paid: the scheme first, then the Council for Medical Schemes
A cardiac admission usually generates several separate accounts, from the specialist, the hospital, and often an anaesthetist and a radiology practice. Query each with the party that issued it rather than expecting the rooms to resolve all of them.
