"My daughter was booked to remove all 4 wisdom teeth. The nurses were incredibly nice! We felt at ease from the second we walked in. She was cared for by the most beautiful and patient nurses. The doctors are kind and so understanding. Overall the best hospital care anyone can ask for."

"I was nervous about the surgery before arriving at the facility. The whole process was dealt with kindness, consideration and patience. The team was amazing and made me feel comfortable before the operation, after the operation and the o/night stay. Thank you to each and everyone!!!"

"This is just a private hospital where various doctors practice. They don't take any responsibility for the outcome of your procedure. I was botched twice by DR Stuart Geldenhuys and he refuses to help me further. You only hear the good stories but hardly the bad ones. I understand that I am part of the minority. But what is frustrating is that when things go belly up, the surgeon tries to hide or he pretends to help you with minimally invasive procedures that don't work thereby stringing you along until you just give up because you are seeing no improvements. As "The Cosmetic Surgery Institute" you would think that they could solve patients problems together. This is simply not the case. And in my experience, DR Geldenhuys is not very good at rhinoplasty, nor is he a person of any substance. He has no interest in making things right, instead he wants the problem to go away"

"I would like to rate the cosmetic surgery institute 5 stars for a 10/10 experience, last Thursday 5th of February. Big ups to Thembisa who cared for me like a mother through the night. Her gentle warmth (couldn’t do enough) attitude was an absolute pleasure to have and along side her sister Heleen, who took care of my pain with her warm energy. Sineszwe, Dannessa as well as Tracey, and one or two others, the staff were literally at my bedroom call . My procedure was not comfortable by any means but these ladies worked together to make sure that my post op experience was as comfortable as could be. Thank you to Steve for being a great anaesthetist for securing a well run procedure. You guys have all been fantastic. Warm regards, Brent Oliver"

"I had an exceptional experience with The Cosmetic Surgery Institute and cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very first appointment through to the final stages of my healing, Dr Clare Neser has been absolutely outstanding. Her skill, attention to detail, and calm, reassuring approach made the entire journey incredibly comfortable. She takes the time to listen, explain every step clearly, and truly cares about achieving the best possible outcome for her patients. Her surgical expertise is evident, and I felt completely confident and supported throughout the entire process. The level of aftercare and follow-up has been equally impressive. Dr Neser remains attentive and available, ensuring that healing progresses well and that any concerns are addressed promptly. A special mention must also go to Lucille Abrahams, the medical receptionist, who has been wonderfully professional, warm, and incredibly helpful. From scheduling appointments to assisting with questions and requests, she always responds with kindness, efficiency, and genuine care. The entire team at The Cosmetic Surgery Institute creates an environment that is professional, supportive, and patient-focused. It is clear that they take great pride in both their work and the experience they provide. If you are considering a procedure and want to feel confident that you are in expert hands, I would highly recommend Dr Clare Neser and her team."
