General Practitioners in Germiston
A General Practitioner or “GP” is usually the first doctor you go to. They become the “family” doctor, because that is what they specialise in. They are not limited in their scope of medical understanding, and can expertly judge whether more serious interventions are necessary, and when not. The visit will usually include discussing the problem, an examination, the actual treatment or procedure, and advice on what the next step is. The full range of medical services our GP’s offer include:
Management of all acute conditions, infections, STD’s, injuries
