Our Doctors

Dr Simone Zoepke

Simone  is a local girl and attended the local public Kloof  schools, starting at Kloof Pre-Primary and ending at Kloof High School. She then traveled and worked for a year before completing her studies in medicine at the University of Pretoria. She  did her internship at the PMB Hospital Complex over 2  years and then made the trek to Bethlehem  where she did her Community Service year in the Phekolong District Hospital Casualty. Thereafter, she practiced as a GP  in women’s health for two years before moving to the Hillcrest Surgical  Unit and the Hillcrest Medicross. She has developed and nurtured a keen  interest in Plastics and Reconstructive surgery, Emergency Care,  Orthopaedics and Female Health.
  During  her undergraduate studies, Simone spent 7 weeks in Tromso, Norway where she learnt under the wing of plastic surgeon, Dr Louis de Weerd. She then went on to  write a medical paper with him on the use of muscle flaps in  reconstructive surgery in addition to another she wrote with  Dr Nikki Allorto in the field of Burn Surgery. She has always had a  passion for writing and teaching and finds pleasure in imparting her knowledge and experience onto others. She now hopes to share her knowledge with the upper highway community through Public Health and be a  filter for the technical and sometimes overwhelming amounts of  information available to those looking for answers about their bodies  and health.
