About the practice
WillowMed is a new-generation general practice: three GPs, a dietitian and a physiotherapist under one roof, paperless from day one, built by owners who wanted to do things a better way.
[CONFIRM: the founding story in the owners' own words.] WillowMed was started by two local doctors who wanted to practise differently: fewer forms, more time in the room, and a building where a patient could see a GP, a dietitian and a physiotherapist without driving to another town.
Records, results, prescriptions and referrals are digital from the moment you arrive. It means less repeating yourself, faster repeats, and a doctor who can see your full history in the consultation rather than hunting for a file.
Newborn checks, school-age illness, pregnancy questions, adult screening, chronic medicine and care for older patients — one practice that knows the whole household, in Afrikaans and English.
WillowMed is owned by Dr Ismarie Oosthuizen and Dr Leané Steyn. Practice No. MP0867411 · BHF No. 1272772.
Our rooms in Frankfort: calm, considered spaces designed for unhurried consultations.
Our values
Four commitments we hold ourselves to, in the room and everywhere else the practice shows up.
We meet people as people first, in their own language, and take the time to explain.
Technology and design in service of better care, never for show.
We say what is true, stay well inside the rules, and never overpromise.
Building something that lasts, for the town and for the practice both.
Rooted in the town
The practice was built here by doctors who chose to stay. That shows up in small things: consulting in the language you are most comfortable in, knowing the schools and the farms, and being reachable when a family needs us.
