Testimonials

The care and personal touch from you and Dr Plaatjes made all the difference today and I knew that [our child] wasn’t just in the best hands in terms of capability, but also in terms of human kindness. It was as gentle as it could have been and I’m so grateful for that.

Patient 2

Dear Dr Singh,

I wanted to write to you personally to say a sincere thank you for all you did to bring peace and dignity to [baby’s name] and her family last week.

Sadly, baby [name] passed away at [hospital name] in the early hours of Saturday morning. [Parent’s name] has expressed her thanks for having had the privilege and opportunity to have you assist her and her family the way you did.

Personally, I cannot express how grateful I am to you. Thank you for so selflessly and willingly assisting me and [parent’s name]. Your care and help went a long way to preparing [parent’s name] and her family for the sad news. One can never prepare for such deep sadness but the information you provided was comforting in a small but profound way for the family.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

It is people and doctors like yourself that are unspoken heroes in so many aspects of life.

My sincerest thanks

Patient 3

Dear Dr Singh,

every morning on the way to school we drive past your rooms and I think “I should drop an email”. Last year you did a circumcision on my then 3 year old. I know it is a minor surgical procedure, but it was made such a huge difference to his life. Being able to wee standing up like the other kids in his class has been great for him. It has also stopped “accidents” – I guess he had to hold onto his urine too long before as it was hard to urinate. And his urine used to smell – something we assumed was just him, but it turns out to have been physiological.

We loved the car drive down to the theatre and the bubbles in your rooms. We are all delighted with the outcome of the operation.

Thank you.

Patient 4

Dear Jason,

Please say a huge thank you to Dr Singh, not only is she an accomplished surgeon and physician, but she was delightful to be around and talk to in such a stressful environment… no request was ever too much for her.

[Our child] loved seeing her… and will miss her.

Thank you.

Patient 5

Hello Dr Singh,

We just wanted to send you an email to say thank you for your wonderful treatment with [our child’s] appendix removal surgery.

We had such wonderful care and empathy from yourself as well as the nurses at the Paed ward – it made a traumatic experience for a seven year old, a not-so-traumatic adventure.

Thank you for your patience and care. We will see you in two weeks for our check up.

Regards
