Dr Willie Visser is a dermatologist with rooms at The Quays in Century City, Cape Town. There is one detail that confuses people: the practice mailbox is on another dermatologist’s domain, because he shares administrative rooms with Dr Karen Ordemann. Mail addressed there is not misdirected.
Official contact channels
- Rooms: 021 551 8355
- Email: admin@drordemann.co.za – the shared practice administration mailbox described above.
- Mediclinic emergency number: 084 124, for emergencies only.
A second number, 021 551 9116, is printed beneath the telephone number without a label and is not set up as a dialling link. In this layout the unlabelled second number is usually the rooms fax, so use 021 551 8355 to call.
What this organisation provides
- Dermatology – medical and surgical treatment of skin, hair and nail conditions.
- Skin cancer assessment matters more in South Africa than almost anywhere. The country has among the highest UV exposure and skin cancer rates in the world, and a changing, bleeding or non-healing lesion is the single most common reason to seek a dermatologist rather than wait.
- Common referrals include eczema, psoriasis, acne, chronic urticaria, hair loss and suspicious moles.
- Qualifications published by Mediclinic: MBChB, University of Stellenbosch, 1997; MMed (Dermatology), University of the Free State, 2008.
- Practises at Mediclinic Milnerton.
Dermatology waiting lists in the private sector are long, often months. If a lesion is changing rapidly, say so explicitly when you phone – practices triage suspected skin cancer differently from routine appointments.
Address and operating information
- 134 The Quays, 8 Park Lane, Century City, 7441. The postal address is the same as the street address.
- The Quays is an office complex in Century City, so the rooms are in a commercial building rather than inside a hospital.
- Consulting hours are not published. Specialist rooms run by appointment during weekday business hours.
- HPCSA registration number: MP0489328
- Practice number: 0120000164682, which your medical scheme needs for claims.
Support and escalation routes
- Know what your scheme funds before you go. Dermatology divides sharply: skin cancer is a Prescribed Minimum Benefit and must be funded, while acne, most chronic skin disease and anything the scheme deems cosmetic typically comes from a limited day-to-day benefit or from your own pocket. Ask which side of that line your treatment falls on.
- Biopsies and excisions generate a separate pathology account from the laboratory, on top of the consultation. That surprises people who budgeted only for the visit.
- Complaints about professional conduct or standard of care go to the Health Professions Council of South Africa on 012 389 9300. Scheme disputes and PMB refusals go to the Council for Medical Schemes after the scheme’s own appeal.
