Good day to all of my patients.
First of all, I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to each of you (including my husband, boys and family) who helped me (and still do) to keep things afloat. If it wasn't for you I would have started waving a HUGE white flag uncontrolled in the streets a long time ago!Every message of encouragement and inquiry about my well being is appreciated more than word can describe.
Since my health does not allow me to help patients at this stage, I asked Dr. Moolla to please come and help me. I can't watch "my people" not get the help they need when they need it - and it's my fault.
Dr Reaz Moolla had to go through a lot of trauma (aka Dr Colette Barnes) to get the post here with us.... Lol. I sat through a lot of interviews and he was the only doctor brave enough to take on this "crazy doctor", accept her "Terms & Conditions" and is smart enough to easily fill the position from every angle to the edge.
Keep in mind that he has a special interest in neurosurgery - so head, neck and back pain..... he is your man.
Dr Moolla is not going to change any of my patients' chronic medication unless something goes terribly wrong - here (just like in any other case) he will contact me and we will decide together what will be best for the patient. I trust his judgement, but want to make it very clear to everyone that none of my patients are simply handed over or "thrown to the wolves". I stay present and involved - it's just "behind the scenes"
Please also be aware that Dr Moolla speaks Afrikaans and English well and can also surprise everyone with Arabic and Mandarin.
My practice and my name is on the line, so is his life.... Lol. I believe he will do his best to make everyone feel at home and treat them optimally - he is 100% competent.
We hope to see all our patients in the rooms again soon.
Regards
Dr. Colette Barnes
