Dr Deon Knoesen

Dr. Knoesen is an outstanding professional knowledgeable, compassionate, and thorough. Exceptional care, clear communication, and a reassuring approach. Highly recommended!

Decided on surgery without prior consultation. Instructed nurses not to give me any food or drink from 10pm I “may need surgery” for a 3mm kidney stone. I had not had anything to eat from 12pm that day already. By the next morning I was so dehydrated my lips were cracked and bleeding and I could not even stand. Again it was said to me that I will be informed whether I’d need surgery by 10/11am. By 8am I was given anesthesia forms to sign and a hospital gown when I had not even seen this Dr as yet. I understand that nurses follow drs orders but there was no information regarding what was going to be the course of treatment. Ironically the sisters were ever so ready to carry out drs orders but weren’t there to assist dizzy patients who fell in the bathroom or to assist when patients were vomiting. When I asked to be discharged as they had not communicated course of treatment nor received consent for treatment that they insisted on, I was told the Dr will be very upset with me for what I’m doing. WTH? I kept hearing different stories yet the Dr who treated me in casualty and the Dr who performed my sonar said the stone should manage to pass on it’s own with enough fluid (which was withheld). I then asked around and looked at reviews and obviously was not going ahead with treatment without a mere consult and based on reviews it was a no go for me One of the nurses even mentioned that the surgery needed to be done just in case as the Dr needed to go on holiday??? Very sketchy treatment received at Robinson Hospital on instructions from the Dr. I left extremely dehydrated and feeling worse than when I got there.

Had a procedure today with Dr Knoesen and I'm very disappointed with how I was treated after surgery. No one came to tell me how the procedure went, what to expect after the procedure and what the next steps are. I legit felt like a hit and run... I was busy asking random nurses what I must do next and they just gave me a sick note and a prescription. I called his office to ask if I needed to have a follow up check up as one of the nurses advised to go there after two weeks and the receptionist gave me a date for a month from date of surgery and didn't even have a single care in the world... Dr Knoesen has no patient after care... I really hope this procedure worked because I have no freaking clue what's to happen now...

If I could choose 0 stars I would. This was by far the worse experience I have ever had with a doctor. I went for a procedure, arriving at the hospital I was told I would be at going in at 10:00 but was only taken in at 15:00, I was taken to surgery not even meeting with the doctor before hand, was put under general anesthetic (they told me was going to be local anesthetic). After my surgery the doctor never came to check up on me to tell me how it went, after getting dressed a nurse told me to make an appointment with the doc after 3 weeks, once I got home and rested I called Dr Knoesen offices only to be told the doctor doesn't want to see me. I don't even know if the procedure was a success. It's been 3 weeks since my procedure and I'm in alot of pain, I don't think I'll go to a Dr with no patient care but will rather call Discovery to voice my concerns and find a real Urologist.

Be very carefull for hidden charges, R800 consulting fee, doesnt stop there, so sad that they dont inform you of additional cost associated with visits.
