Real Life Testimonials

Took my soon to be two year old son to Prof today for the first time. I am so impressed with her beautiful, kind and gentle way with little ones. My son was comfortable and at home from the start. She takes her time to examine and thoroughly explains all the fancy terminology in a easy to digest and relatable manner. Grateful to now have some clarity and a way forward in terms of treatment for my son.
Lache Woldson-Samuels
Prof Hlela attended to my eczema. She made me feel comfortable. I appreciated the time she took to look into my history. She definitely pays attention to detail. I definitely recommend her for anyone seeking relief from their eczema concerns.
