WHAT WE OFFER
Road Accident Fund and Medical Negligence attorneys and claimants, our #1 priority is YOU! We believe in providing you amazing service, so that you can focus on your core business. We truly care about your clients as much as you do, which is why we offer the best support, care and assessments. You can count on us, for assessments by skilled medical experts.
We offer centralised management assessments for all medical experts, at the Waterkloof Ridge Medical and Wellness Centre, to allow streamlined, efficient and skilled assessments.
Some clients call us the “one-stop shop” for medico-legal assessments.
It’s really simply: call us and secure consecutive appointments for most experts, and our skilled team will do the rest. In most cases, your client’s assessments are all done on a single day! Rarely the appointments roll over to a second day, and that is only in the case of long and detailed psychology appointments.
There is no need to consult with medical expert rooms, secure for dates, chase up reports, etc. We do it all for you all in one Centre!
Once all the assessments are done, we secure, review, quality assure each and every report, and then send you a pack of all experts reports simultaneously! Medical Expert Reports SIMPLIFIED!
Pre-trial readiness? No problem! (We speak Legal-ese too!) We know that you need to be certified trial ready by a Judge, to keep the matter on the roll! We also know and understand your timeline requirements, constraints and challenges, and strive to manage all of it just for YOU!
Joint Minutes? No problem! We assist in facilitating the communication between the experts, ensure the drafts are done timeously, and ensure that they are finalised, signed and sent to you in time for court!
We save you time, money and effort!

With Experts: The Proof Is In The Pudding
Not all healthcare practitioners are experts. Some are great in patient care, and others are great in management. However, their technical skills, are not always enough to provide an expert opinion, based on independent global frameworks and scientific evidence. True experts are independent, experienced, and skilled in delivering expert opinions!
