Dr VD Merwe has a wonderful, calm, open demeanor with his patients. I had major mouth surgery done which was daunting to say the least. Post op and through recovery it was hard to believe that this amount of work was done. I attest this to Dr VD Merwe's incredible expertise and experience in his field.

I couldn’t be more grateful to Petrie and his incredible work! His friendly and professional service helped save my lip after a surfing accident. He went out of his way to help me and make me feel comfortable while stitching me up. Not only did he save my lip but he also managed to stitch it perfectly to the point that the injuries are unrecognisable. I highly recommend!!
