Meet your paediatrician
Dr NR Dikgang
Every child is different, and so is every family. Dr Dikgang takes the time to understand both.
Dr Dikgang is a specialist paediatrician who runs her practice, Chadesh Health, from the Mommy & Me Centre at Medicare Private Hospital in Rustenburg, and is affiliated with Ferncrest Hospital. Her work spans specialist newborn care and general paediatrics for children who need more than a routine GP visit. Whether it's a newborn's first assessment or a long-term condition, the aim is the same: thorough, evidence-based care delivered with warmth and patience.
Parents are partners in their child's care. You'll get a clear explanation of what's happening, what the options are, and what to watch for at home.
