Information for education not diagnosis.Informationforeducationnot diagnosis.

The information on this website is provided for general educational purposes and to help patients prepare for consultations and procedures. It is not a substitute for a face-to-face consultation with a qualified healthcare provider, nor is it a diagnosis, treatment plan or prescription.

Every patient is different. The information that applies to one person may not apply to you. Dr Lawrence will give you advice tailored to your specific condition after a proper clinical assessment.

Reading this website, sending an email or submitting a form does not by itself create a doctor-patient relationship. A formal doctor-patient relationship begins when you are accepted as a patient and seen in consultation, and continues only within the scope of the care provided.

This website is not monitored for medical emergencies. If you or someone you know has severe symptoms such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain, loss of consciousness or signs of a stroke, call emergency services or go to the nearest hospital casualty immediately.

During business hours, the practice phone is answered for administrative and non-urgent clinical queries. For after-hours emergencies, please contact the hospital where you are booked or your GP.

Surgery and medical care carry inherent uncertainties. We do not guarantee specific outcomes, success rates, cures or timelines on this website. Any procedure discussed will be explained in detail during your consultation, including benefits, risks, alternatives and the recovery process.

In line with Health Professions Council of South Africa advertising rules, we do not publish testimonials, before-and-after images, or comparative claims about results.

We make every reasonable effort to ensure the information on this website is accurate at the time of publication. Medical knowledge and practice guidelines change, and we may update content from time to time. We do not warrant that every statement is complete, current or applicable to every jurisdiction.

You should not rely on this website to make medical decisions. If you choose to act on any information here, you do so at your own risk. The practice and its staff are not liable for any loss, injury or damage arising from reliance on the website content, to the extent permitted by South African law.

If you have symptoms, concerns about a procedure, or questions about your own care, please contact the practice directly to make an appointment. The only way to receive personalised medical advice is through a proper consultation.
