The Practice

 The Hillcrest Surgical Unit is a medical center operating as a general practice, urgent care casualty and  endoscopy unit at  Meyrickton Park, Hillcrest. 


We offer an expanded service in state of the art  premises and our facility design combines functionality, comfort and aesthetics. This allows for efficient, effective treatment in an environment that operates  like a hospital but doesn’t feel like one. Whilst in our care, we aim to  reduce anxiety,  enhance well-being and ultimately create positive outcomes.

The unit had been  operating from Hillcrest Medical Centre for 8 years, providing a  cost-effective and patient-centred Endoscopy service, before opening at the new premises in 2019 . Based on the  in-rooms surgical service principle now widely used in the USA, we offer  a smooth and safe experience, with all arrangements with medical aids  arranged on your behalf. Insured and Private patients alike will have  access to an affordable and transparent fee structure for gastroscopies  and colonoscopies.

We have introduced a new  concept to South Africa, whereby simple surgical procedures requiring  only sedation and/ or local anesthetics can be performed safely at our  facility. Medical Aids are increasingly adopting this concept and many  procedures are now performed safely in Doctors rooms, without the need  to go to a Day Clinic. Our facility will provide an In-Rooms Surgical  Service that patients and doctors can access at rates even lower than  that of Day Clinics.  Under the same concept, intravenous infusions for iron, antibiotics,resuscitation fluids, biologicals and ketamine can be performed safely.
