Bonginkosi Nxumalo2025-03-28This is the best mental health clinic in the country. The facilities are out of this world, the food that we had while admitted was the best. The health professionals were the best. If you need to reset, if you feel as though things are heavy on you ask your medical Practitioner to do a referral for you. When it's time for you to be discharged you won't want to go home. The person who built this facility deserves all the blessings.
Khanyisile Mukhari2025-03-14I Highly recommend everything about this facility.
Maarten Opperman2025-03-09Very friendly, approachable staff. CEO visits each and every table herself during lunch for feedback. They cater for individualised and special meals. The clinic has its own private vehicles to transport patients to Pretoria East Hospital, Wilgers Hospital for specialist referrals and radiological investigations. The clinic has a gymnasium and a big physiotherapy section. One-to-one private sessions with an occupational therapist, social worker, or pastoral therapist are available. Each patient consults a private psychiatrist and a private psychologist every day. No photos may be taken for medical confidentiality.
