Dr Seton Oudtshoorn Contact Details

Dr Douglas Seton is an obstetrician and gynaecologist working across the Garden Route, from Plettenberg Bay to Oudtshoorn. The practice is not in one place: it consults on fixed days in different towns, so the day of the week decides where he is. That is the single most useful thing to know before phoning.

What this organisation provides

Consulting days, as published by the practice:

Oudtshoorn – Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
Knysna – Tuesdays and Thursdays

Surgery days are different again: Knysna on Tuesday mornings, Oudtshoorn on Wednesday mornings, with certain specialised procedures done at Mediclinic Geneva on Fridays.

Obstetric care in Knysna, George and Oudtshoorn. The practice describes its aim as affordable private obstetric care in what it calls an increasingly restrictive insurance environment, and it works with midwife-led services including Baby Steps Midwifery Service in Oudtshoorn.
Fetal anomaly scans at 12 and 20 weeks, done by a specialist sonographer – Thursdays in Oudtshoorn and Mondays in Knysna. These are time-window scans: the 12-week and 20-week windows are narrow, so book them at the visit before.
4D scans, offered through Baby Steps in Oudtshoorn and through the practice sonographer in Knysna.
Bone densitometry (DEXA) for osteoporosis, with units in Knysna and Plettenberg Bay. This is unusual for a gynaecology practice and matters for post-menopausal bone health, which otherwise means a referral to a radiology practice.
General gynaecology alongside the obstetric work.

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

In labour, bleeding in pregnancy, or waters broken: go to the maternity unit, not the rooms.
Confirm which hospital your delivery is booked at. With obstetric services running across three towns, the delivery hospital is a separate question from where you consult, and it determines which maternity unit to drive to at 3am.
Complaints about professional conduct or standard of care go to the Health Professions Council of South Africa on 012 389 9300. Scheme disputes, including maternity and Prescribed Minimum Benefit refusals, go to the Council for Medical Schemes after the scheme’s own appeal.
