ABOUT

Dr Sheldeen Botha is a general practitioner who provides comprehensive medical care for the whole family. She treats patients of all ages, from children to the geriatric. She believes in treating a patient as a whole and looking after all aspects of the patient, biologically, psychologically and socially.

She has been practicing in private since 2006 and established her own private practice in 2012. She went into private practice to have the necessary equipment and resources available to provide medical care in a timely fashion. Her private practice offers a broad dimension to healthcare as technology has evolved to such an extent that it has become part of their everyday working life.

The practice consists of Dr Botha and three other General Practitioners who diagnose and treat various medical conditions, acute and chronic. Although they are a hectic practice, they always try to accommodate patients as soon possible.

A passion for enriching people’s quality of life made a career in medicine a natural choice for Dr Botha. She loves a challenge, and nothing gives her greater job satisfaction than diagnosing and treating complicated illnesses and seeing her patients improve and heal. She treats her patients with compassion in all aspects of their physical and mental well-being.

Dr Botha focuses on the Biopsychosocial needs of her patients. The “biopsychosocial (BPS) model” emphasizes the interconnection between biological, psychological and socio-environmental factors. When this model is applied to health, it demonstrates the importance of maintaining wellness in all aspects of our lives.
