Mr Louw Van Niekerk has been amazing, I have had 5 surgeries with him over 16 years and all have gone well and Louw’s manner and professionalism is of the highest standard. If I require further surgery would try and push for it to be carried out by Louw. Thanks Louw for all you have done

The experience with Mr L Van Niekerk was great, he explained the injury and the surgery clearly (ACL reconstruction with hamstring craft) the surgery went to superbly, the scar was minimal and the hamstring has been good, feel good already after 6 weeks. Definitely recommend
