Dr Darren Pedro

Description

As part of his ongoing efforts to improve access to health care in urban and rural areas, Dr Pedro opened his general medical practice on 1 October 2012.

Dr Pedro is a young, dynamic general practitioner and family man. He is married to his best friend, the beautiful Carlyn Pedro and they were blessed with two children. He was born in Worcester and has his roots firmly planted in the countryside.

After qualifying as a Medical Doctor in 2004, Dr Pedro served the various communities of Kwazulu-Natal and the Western Cape respectively. Thereafter he decided to gain experience in various international health systems by working in countries such as The Republic of Ireland, Angola and Mongolia. During these international ventures, he worked for large reputable companies such as International SOS, VHI Healthcare and Centric Health.

Dr Pedro thus has extensive knowledge working with medical assistance companies doing medical evacuations and working with large corporations to ensure effective occupational health risk profiling as well as implementing preventative medicine initiatives.

Dr Pedro provides an innovative approach to the provision of quality primary healthcare. His mission is to promote a healthy mind, body and spirit with a human touch. It is this holistic approach that ensures that Dr Pedro does not compromise on the quality care of his patients.

Dr Pedro provides a wide spectrum of accessible and innovative general medical services. These services are proactive and responsive to local needs and include providing community healthcare services, urgent care, health screening, diagnostic services and the treatment of chronic conditions including diabetes.

The key to his success is putting his patients and their needs at the centre of everything that he does.

Dr Pedro looks forward to welcoming you to his practice.

Very Bad Service. Desk lady is very slow and promises to mail scripts and it takes 2 days minimum to send it through after paying even if you come in to collect it it's never ready. Imagine waiting on something that you need cause they busy. I don't need the script to survive but I need it to work. Imagine those needing it to survive. I don't really do reviews but ever since moving to this doctor I literally have to beg for my scripts. 0 stars if I could.
Most unprofessional group of people put together. Waiting 2 days just for the results of already taken xrays. Calls being ignored or answered in a very agitated manner when doing a follow-up. If you have a lot of time to wait in a waiting room or arive at a locked door then they will prob be fine for you
Best doctor ever. Takes time and provides care with compassion.
I made an appointment on Tuesday at DR Pedro, only to arrive at the doctor's rooms to be told in a very rude and abrupt manner that the doctors had left for the day due to a power outrage in Kuils River. I was also told they could not contact patients because their phone did not work either. I left work early to make this appointment. This is unacceptable service. May I suggest you get a cheap cell phone to send sms's to you're patients if this should happen again...and it probably will. Needless to say, I will not be going back.
What can I say...but rather disgusted by a particular front desk lady. I've been a few times at this Dr and never had an issue. But these days this front desk lady became so unprofessional which really leaves a bad impression on the Dr's. Back in my day I was in that field and NEVER would I treat patients/clients like piece of sh!t! An appointment was made through my insurance so that Dr could do a full medical check on my husband at 09:30am. We got there 09:20am but we were turned away saying that we needed to be there at 08:30am??? Really? As far as I know and Google know they open at 09:00am not 08:00am. I was puzzled by that. I made contact with our insurance company and they confirmed it was 09:30am. Anyway...I asked this front desk lady at 09:20am if an appointment could be made for later in the day instead. Without any effort or even checking she rudely said no! I was sick to my stomach with her rude attitude response. I felt so belittled and embarrassed because there were 2 other patients in the waiting room that heard this. I then left and came right somewhere else. At about 12PM I received an SMS stating that I need to pay for consultation...like what!!! It would've been covered by my insurance but we were turned away? They so quick to send sms for payment but they cannot send sms to confirm appointment? I'm never sitting my foot there again! I dnt have issues with the Dr's they are amazing but seriously they need to do something about their front desk ladies. Either get new ones who can do a way better job!
This must be the worst after-care I have ever received from a doctor. After prescribing a product that is no longer in production, I had to wait 2 days for a new script. After getting the product, I read the common side effects are worse than my original situation; I asked doctor to call me but they said no, he does not consult over the phone I must come in for a proper consultation. This is pure negligence from his side, as he should have explained the product to me, and the side effects, so I could make an informed decision. I have now been asking for my blood results to be forwarded to another doctor since last week, and he still has not done so. Also, this product in contraindicated for a couple of conditions that I have, and I KNOW it's on my file. I do not trust his judgement and want to see another doctor about these test results, but he is not cooperating. Truely bad health "care".
They're ALWAYS running late. ALWAYS. I have been seeing Dr Pedro for at least 6 years and every single appointment has been at least 15min late. Most recently I waited for over an hour luckily I wasn't *that* sick and didn't have many other commitments for the day only to eventually be seen by a different dr than the one I booked with lest I wait who knows how much longer for the dr I booked with. I am a student so generally I have a bit of flexibility with my time. This is not true for the majority of people. No one even offered an explanation for the delay or even acknowledged that there was a delay. An hour after my booked time, I asked the ladies at the front desk what's up to which they replied that I'm next. If I hadn't spoken up, I doubt I'd have been next, but that's just speculation. It's so unprofessional. I am not a diva by any stretch of the imagination, but having one's time CONSISTENTLY disrespected is irksome. I don't expect the drs to skip lunch or toilet breaks to cater to me. I will completely understand if *sometimes* things run late. But they are *always* late without remorse or explanation. Other than that, the drs and the reception staff are friendly and a joy to interact with. Plus 1 star for that.
Saved my son's life. Went in without appointment, on arrival he saw that my boy was about to go in to diabetic coma. He never had any health issues up to that day. Dr Pedro stabilized him called a ambulance and traffic dept and notified hospital in minutes. My boy a type1 diabetic is alive today because of Dr Pedro and God for putting him on our path. Will forever be grateful
What a dr. He listen to what you have to tell him. Address the issue that you are worring about and treat you not just as a patient but as a human as well. I went to a few GP's most of them just tell you to go get antibiotics cause the do not worry about you. Dr. Petro tells you what is wrong show you in the book so that you can understand and then follow the meds. My home GP for more than 5 years now.
I would highly recommend Dr Pedro. Good quality care and very professional with excellent people skills. He is one of the few Dr's that doesn't rush and actually listens to you. Thank you Dr Pedro for excellent care and advice... If you have to wait a little longer, be patient it's worth the wait.
