Experience top quality medical care by specialist family physician, Dr Shelley Hellig
Family Medicine
Sir Denis Pereira Gray OBE, erstwhile former head of the Royal College of General Practitioners,after analysing 22 studies, came to the conclusion that continuity of care which is the hallmark of Family Medicine, was associated with a statistically significant reduction in early death.

Weight loss regime
Weight loss programme
There has been a ground-breaking drug launched in South Africa for the management of weight and weight loss.
This is the first SAFE, SCIENTIFIC, EFFICACIOUS and practical addition to the weight reduction armoury which has, up to now, been notoriously ineffective or harmful.
It has been developed in response to the staggering and ever-increasing obesity and Diabetes epidemics raging worldwide.
The product is safe to use long term and it works
The mechanism of action is twofold in that it curbs food cravings on the one hand and scientifically and safely assists the body to store less fat, make more muscle and improve the efficiency of the insulin production.
This has been the stimulus behind my idea of establishing a “weight loss regime” consisting of a sustainable multidisciplinary approach to help interested patients to manage and or reduce their weight.
I’m hoping it will prove of value and benefit to anybody wishing to shed excess weight permanently and safely.
It goes without saying that I have no pecuniary interest in the product or its parent company.
