ABOUT
Dr Andre Swart is a paediatrician from George in the Western Cape. His practice is known for a holistic approach to medicine, where medical interventions are minimal. He focuses on the family as a unit when he treats the little ones as they grow older with new challenges.
Dr Swart firmly believes you cannot treat a patient if you never were a patient yourself. As a paediatrician, you must think like a parent, fear like a parent and act like a parent.
His private practice was established with the primary purpose of following his patients from birth through childhood and adolescence and seeing them as adults return with their babies, starting the cycle all over again with a happy smile.
He is passionate about urgency and teamwork with capable experience Medical staff and involving the parents in decision-making as far as possible. Communication is imperative.
The fundamental challenge in dealing with medical problems in newborns, infants and children made medical studies a natural choice for Dr Swart. The way they all present differently to the underlying pathology and the absolute joy they show when they respond to proper medical treatment gives him excellent job satisfaction. A smiling child means a smiling parent, resulting in a smiling doctor.
