Ear, Nose and Throat, Head and Neck Surgery

Book a Consultation

Welcome to this practice!

Hi, I am Dr Gerrie Moolman! I am an Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist as well as a Head, Neck and Skull base Surgeon. I completed my studies at the University of Pretoria and I work at the new Cintocare Hospital in Menlyn Maine (Pretoria). Besides general ENT, I specialize in Skull base surgery (tumours at the floor of the brain), Head and neck surgery, Otology and Cochlear implant surgery.

 

What I really love about my work is the great range of problems I get to deal with. From children with tonsillitis or middle ear infection to microscopic surgery in the ear, or endoscopic sinus and nose work to large head, neck or skull base tumours. Some patients I get to treat medically and others surgically. So, I get to work as a medical doctor as well as a surgeon.

 

I have been part of the Ear Institute Cochlear Implant team since 2009, and it has been a privilege to make a difference in the lives of patients with severe hearing disabilities.

 

I hope to see you at my practice and be able to make a positive impact in your life!

Testimonial

I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2019. At first I didn’t know where go or what to do. This was the second time I was diagnosed with cancer since 2017. I was very concerned. The first quotation I received just blew me out of the water and added to my concerns .I needed another doctor to help me. I was then referred to Dr. Moolman. His was most professional and supportive. His rated were inline with medical aid requirements. All of this eased the burden .His approached  and treatment  of the disease was excellent. This includes aftercare treatment. I’m know continue a normal and happy life thanx to Dr Moolman. I highly recommended Dr G Moolman.
