Frequently Asked Questions From New Patients
Do I need a referral or referral letter to see Dr Weir?
While some medical aids require a referral, you are welcome to contact our rooms directly for guidance on setting up an appointment.
Where is the practice located?
We are based at the Vascular & Hyperbaric Unit at Life Eugene Marais Hospital, Pretoria.
What is the difference between open and endovascular surgery?
Open surgery involves an incision to directly repair an artery
An endovascular procedure treats the problem from inside the vessel using catheters and stents, often requiring only a tiny puncture
A hybrid procedure is a combination of open and endovascular techniques
I am a pensioner with a medical aid. What is your practice policy regarding copayments for surgery?
To ensure our patients receive complete care, we require active medical aid membership. Vascular interventions require hospital admission and theatre costs that can be overwhelming. We have existing agreements with most of the major medical aids and will attempt to avoid copayments for surgery or hospital admissions.
