"I can honestly say I’ve had such a positive experience at Dr Nerina Wilkinson. From the very beginning I felt genuinely cared for, and Claire has been absolutely wonderful, kind, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. My skin has improved more than I expected, honestly the best it’s been in a long time. I’m really grateful for the personalised care and guidance, and I couldn’t recommend the clinic more."

"From the moment I entered the practice of Dr Nerina Wilkinson, I was enthralled by the level of professionalism from the Front of House, to the Waitress who provided me with a delicious cappuccino, to my Skin Therapist who did my skin analysis, to my detailed Skin plan I received, recommending what products to use and the details of my suggested treatment plan including my photos of my current skin condition (horror!). I have started my journey and am so impressed with the results already. Cannot recommend them enough. I have been to see the Drs as well and will keep reporting back on my amazing results. Keep it up Dr Nerina and Team 🫶🏻"

".Nerina has a fantastic team supporting her, but unfortunately I felt that she let's her team down. I underwent a surgical procedure with her in 2025 at a cost of approximately R250,000, which I later realised was significantly above the average pricing. I chose Nerina based on her strong social media presence and believed I was choosing one of the best. Around six months after surgery, after raising concerns regarding my results, I was advised that additional costs would be required to address imbalances following the procedure. Since surgery, I have experienced issues including excessive tightness and pulling on one side, asymmetry, lumps developing in my neck area, a post-surgical infection, and several other ongoing concerns. After seeking two independent professional opinions, I was advised that further corrective surgery would be required. I was also informed that concerns had been raised regarding the surgical approach and technique used in my case.This has been an extremely upsetting, emotionally draining, and costly experience. From my personal perspective, I was left feeling that financial considerations may have taken priority over achieving the best possible long-term outcome for me as a patient"

"My experience at this practice has been nothing short of amazing, and I attribute a lot of that to my practitioner Claire. From the very first encounter, I was treated with such warmth, smiles, care, and attentiveness; and that treatment continues up to this day. Claire is so professional, so efficient, and her attention to detail is commendable. She is adaptable, and no matter what is thrown at her, she just takes it in her stride. She is passionate about what she does, and is incredibly knowledgeable about her profession. She cares about ALL of her patients, and it's evident in how much effort, thought and care she pours into her work. She goes above and beyond. She pays attention to everything! Claire remembers things you wouldn't remember unless you were actually paying attention, and nothing goes over her head. Her attention to detail still surprises me, even though it is something I have come to expect. Excellence is a just a part of who she is. She is kind, respectful, compassionate and highly skilled. She is able to work with any person, any situation, any circumstance, and adjust accordingly if needed. She will meet you wherever you are at and build from there. She does what's best for her patient. I am happy with the results I have seen so far. I have seen noticeable changes, and seeing these changes makes me excited about the journey ahead. I have full trust in her as my practitioner! Claire is a great asset to the practice, and I am very pleased with the results and the services she so wonderfully provides. She is impressive and absolutely superb."

"I recently had the privilege of undergoing surgery with Dr. Nerina Wilkinson, and I can't speak highly enough of the experience. Dr. Nerina is not only incredibly professional, but also deeply kind, caring and patient. Her surgical expertise is truly exceptional, and she made me feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. Both her bedside manner and her attention to detail are simply out of this world. Dr. Nerina’s associates, including Dr. Tracy and therapists, are equally phenomenal. They prioritize patient safety and the ethics of every treatment above all else, and it's clear that they genuinely care about their patients. The level of expertise and compassion you’ll find here is second to none. What they offer their patients goes far beyond aesthetics. Their holistic approach is rare in this industry. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Nerina Wilkinson and her team for anyone seeking outstanding care and world class treatments a cut above the rest. Thank you for the patience and care and giving me confidence to feel like myself again."
