Specialised Services

In addition to standard medical care we offer a range of specialised services including:

• ECGs, (two 12-lead 3-phase ECGs), Bruce protocol stress ECG’s using a treadmill
• Lung function testing
• Full annual physical examinations (as determined by the American Medical Association)
• Insurance medicals
• 24hr ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
• Drawing of blood for tests. (Please note Pathcare will charge you separately for the testing of the blood)
• Minor procedures including removal of moles, lumps, bumps, setting fractured bones, applying/removing casts, removal of sunspots, repair/suturing of wounds, dressing changes, pap smears, etc. (Please confirm with reception with regards to your specific needs). Dr Cohen has a special interest in skin lesions and moles.
• The medical aids are encouraging patients to make use of the facility of the GP to do minor procedures in the surgery.
  • Some of the advantages are:
    1. There is much less sepsis risk, as the “bugs” are primitive and not “superbugs” as found in the hospital setting
    2. There is a considerable saving in the cost, as theatre use at the hospital currently is R420 per MINUTE. There is no cost in our setting.
    3. The specialist costs are much higher than the GP
  • Please ask your medical aid for authorization, prior to booking your appointment.
  • The fee levied is a global fee and includes subsequent visits for that problem for 14 days post op. The materials used during these appointments, will however be charged to the patient
• Both Dr Cohen and Dr Horsefall, both have a special interest in skin lesions moles and lumps. A brochure about the procedure, the costs et cetera are available and can easily be emailed to you. Please contact the receptionist should you want a brochure.

*Please inform the receptionist when booking for any of the above as they may require a longer appointment.
