Ons voel baie dankbaar vandag!! Presies 10 jaar gelede het ons die nuwe praktyk oopgemaak op Stilbaai. In die tydperk het ons paaie gekruis met baie mense wat by die praktyk ingestap het. Ons is dankbaar teenoor die gemeenskap vir al die lief en leed wat ons saam met julle in die 10 jaar kon deel.

Ons is ook dankbaar aan al ons kollegas wat oor die 10 jaar saam met ons die reis gedeel het. Hier d**k ons aan Suster Elsabe, Dr. Anita, Dr. Hannelie, Dr Patsy, Annelise, Nadia, Johan en Linda.

Ons dank God wat met Sy besonderse plan ons op 'n wonderlike manier hier in Stilbaai kom vestig het. Sonder Hom sou ons niks kon regkry nie. Alle eer aan HOM.

Karlien en Johannes

Welkom aan Dr. Oosthuizen by ons span!

Dit is vir ons ‘n groot voorreg om Dr. Patricia Oosthuizen amptelik by ons praktyk in Stilbaai te verwelkom. Sy het sedert die begin van die jaar reeds deel van ons span gevorm toe sy waargeneem het tydens Dr. Hannelie se siekverlof. Vanaf 1 April 2025 sluit sy nou permanent by ons praktyk aan, en ons sien baie uit na hierdie nuwe hoofstuk saam met haar!

Dr. Oosthuizen kom uit ‘n gesin van mediese praktisyns, en haar passie vir die mediese beroep het reeds van jongs af begin. Sy het in 2021 haar mediese kwalifikasie aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch verwerf en haar internskap by Tygerberg Akademiese Hospitaal voltooi. In 2024 het sy haar gemeenskapsdiens by Tshepong Hospitaal in Klerksdorp gedoen, waar sy in die chirurgiese afdeling gewerk het. Hier het sy waardevolle ervaring opgedoen in chirurgiese prosedures en die behandeling van pasiënte met komplekse toestande, insluitend brandwonde. Gedurende hierdie tyd het sy ‘n besondere belangstelling in bors- en endokriene chirurgie ontwikkel.

Dr. Oosthuizen is tans besig met haar Meestersgraad in Openbare Gesondheid, waarmee sy haar kennis en vaardighede verder uitbrei.

Buite die spreekkamer geniet sy ‘n aktiewe leefstyl en neem graag deel aan verskeie buitelugaktiwiteite, insluitend trail running, padwedlope en see swem. Sy is ook ‘n ywerige leser en waardeer ‘n goeie koppie koffie.

Ons is opgewonde om haar deel van ons span te maak en glo dat ons pasiënte vinnig ‘n vertrouensverhouding met haar sal opbou. Ons sien daarna uit om saam met haar te werk terwyl sy ‘n integrale rol in ons gemeenskap se gesondheid gaan speel.

Welcome Dr. Oosthuizen to Our Team!

We are delighted to officially welcome Dr. Patricia Oosthuizen to our practice in Stilbaai. She has already been part of our team since the beginning of the year when she stepped in during Dr. Hannelie’s medical leave. Now, from 1 April 2025, she is joining us permanently, and we are excited for this new chapter with her!

Dr. Oosthuizen comes from a family of medical practitioners, and her passion for medicine started at a young age. She obtained her medical degree from Stellenbosch University in 2021 and completed her internship at Tygerberg Academic Hospital. In 2024, she completed her community service at Tshepong Hospital in Klerksdorp, where she worked in the surgical department. During this time, she gained valuable experience in surgical procedures and treating patients with complex conditions, including burn injuries. It was here that she developed a particular interest in breast and endocrine surgery.

Dr. Oosthuizen is currently pursuing her Master’s Degree in Public Health, further expanding her knowledge and skills.

Outside of the medical field, she enjoys an active lifestyle and participates in various outdoor activities, including trail running, road races, and open-water swimming. She is also an avid reader and always finds an opportunity to enjoy a good cup of coffee.

We are thrilled to have her as part of our team and believe our patients will quickly build a trusting relationship with her. We look forward to working alongside her as she will play an integral role in our community’s healthcare.

Op my lessenaar staan 'n slakkie. Hy herinner my om net bietjie stadiger te wees. "Slow down." Selfs hier in Stilbaai raak die lewe te vinnig. Raak rustig sodat jy elke oomblik wat aan jou geskenk is kan waardeer.

More about Dr Hannelie Louw:

Dr Hannelie Louw is a medical doctor that completed her MBBCH at the University of the Witwatersrand in 1990; she then did her internship in Rustenburg.
Dr Louw grew up in Gauteng, where she went to primary school in Pretoria and completed her matric at Florida Hoërskool, on the West Rand. Her drive and determination led her to completing her Diploma in Anesthetics at the Johannesburg General Hospital while working as a private practitioner. She then worked at a mine hospital in Randfontein as a GP anaesthetist before relocating to George.
During her time in George she worked at George Hospital, the District Health Services as TB Doctor, Bethesda NPO as CEO, this involved managing a palliative care unit, community care workers and a children’s home.
In 2009, Dr Louw decided to return to the public sector and started working at Harry Comay TB Hospital as the George Subdistrict Manager.
In 2020, after losing her husband, Dr Louw changed direction and returned to general private practice. This led to her finding new passions like elderly care, rehabilitative care and family practice.

Dr Louw has now relocated to Stilbaai and has joined Dr Karlien van Zyl’s practice. It’s not only Dr Louw’s knowledge and experience within the medical community that makes her a great doctor, but her life experiences of having 3 grown children and a little granddaughter.
She feels passionate about assisting people that don’t just have general ailments but also people that suffer from allergies, chronic pain and trauma induced health and mental issues.
