Dr Indres Lingoomiah is a general practitioner in Actonville, Benoni, in practice since 1997. The details below were read from the practice’s own website rather than from a directory, which matters here: the numbers listed on directory sites do not match the ones the practice publishes.
Official contact channels
The practice lists four numbers together under Call Us. Any of them is a published route to the rooms:
- 011 420 0705
- 011 421 4885
- 063 459 2233
- 063 423 3204
- Practice number for medical scheme claims: 1552708
Do not use the numbers that directory sites carry for this practice. Several list 011 421 4884 and 011 421 7608. The practice’s own site gives 011 421 4885, one digit different, and does not list the 7608 number at all. A number that is one digit out does not simply fail – it rings somebody else.
The website publishes an email address on an internet service provider domain under the doctor’s own name. It is not reproduced here, because a personal mailbox is not a practice channel: it is not covered when the doctor is away, and it is the wrong place to send medical information or an identity document. Use the numbers above.
One practical note: the Contact page on the practice website is currently broken, returning a WordPress error rather than a contact form. The rest of the site works. Phone rather than trying to submit the form.
What this organisation provides
- General practice, with the practice describing more than 26 years serving the Benoni and Springs communities.
- Minor procedures – surgery on superficial tissue under local anaesthetic.
- Medicals – a structured examination covering BMI, blood pressure, heart rate, heart and lung auscultation, strength, range of motion and balance, urine test, blood glucose, and eye and ear examination. This is the format used for employment and licence medicals.
- ECG and ultrasound on site, rather than by referral.
- Pap smears and family planning.
- HIV treatment and counselling.
- Intravenous rehydration and drip treatment.
- A dispensary, so many prescriptions can be filled at the rooms.
Having ECG, ultrasound and a dispensary in one practice matters in a suburb where the alternative is separate trips to a radiology practice and a pharmacy. It does not replace a specialist: an abnormal ECG or scan is still referred on.
Address and operating information
- 1544 Singh Street, Actonville, Benoni, 1501
- Actonville is a suburb of Benoni on the East Rand, and the practice also serves Boksburg and Springs.
- Consulting hours are not published on the practice website. Directory sites list hours for it, but those are unverified and this page does not repeat them. Confirm hours when you phone.
- The site does not publish an HPCSA registration number. The practice number 1552708 is a medical scheme billing identifier and is not proof of registration. To confirm a practitioner is registered and in good standing, contact the Health Professions Council on 012 389 9300.
Support and escalation routes
- For a medical emergency call an ambulance on 10177, or 112 from a mobile phone. A GP practice is not an emergency service and closes outside consulting hours.
- A GP referral letter is what unlocks specialist care at the right benefit rate on most medical schemes. Ask for it rather than self-referring.
- Complaints about professional conduct or standard of care go to the Health Professions Council of South Africa on 012 389 9300.
- Dispensing by a doctor requires a dispensing licence in addition to HPCSA registration. Complaints about medicines dispensed at a practice can go to the HPCSA, and to the South African Pharmacy Council where a pharmacist is involved.
- Billing disputes with a medical scheme are taken up with the scheme first, quoting practice number 1552708, and unresolved ones go to the Council for Medical Schemes.
- Queries about how your health records are handled fall under POPIA, with the Information Regulator on 010 023 5200.
