Family Medical Practitioner - GP-Med

Dr Liezl Otto

MBChB - University of Pretoria (1999)

Board registered General Practitioner MP 0530794

I’m a qualified medical doctor with a deep passion for patient care, especially for the more vulnerable. I qualified at the University of Pretoria in 1999 and began my career in Ermelo (where I grew up), getting valuable experience working in outpatient clinics, general private practice and theatre, assisting with various surgical procedures.

After dedicating several years to raising my four wonderful daughters, I’m now embracing a new chapter as I return to clinical practice with a strong sense of purpose and a deepened understanding of life’s many stages. My patients are my absolute passion as a Primary Health Care Provider in all aspects of medical care. Children (pediatrics) and female wellbeing are my fields of special interest.

My approach to medicine is rooted in compassion, careful listening and treating each person as a whole. I believe healing often begins with being heard and truly seen.

Outside of medicine, I find joy and grounding in my faith and nature — whether hiking on scenic trails, walking along the ocean’s edge, or simply spending time outdoors with my family (my husband is also a dedicated GP). These moments bring clarity, calm and a renewed appreciation for the simple joys in life.

Dr Yolande Le Roux

MBChB - University of the Free State (2022)

I grew up in the small town of Henneman, located in a rural farming community in the Free State. I graduated in 2002 as a Medical Doctor at the University of the Free State. After my Internship (Tygerberg Hospital) and community service (Piet Retief) I worked in the UK as a RMO. On my return to Cape Town, I worked as a a GP. After my marriage (he is also a medical doctor) we relocated to Centurion, Gauteng where I worked as a GP in a busy family practice, gaining valuable experience. Currently our family lives in the Helderberg area . My two lovely, busy daughters are the center of our daily lives: keeping me and my husband on our toes.

To be a Primary Health Care Provider is my passion. I have an holistic approach towards my patients. I believe in the empowerment of the patient, to help patients make informed decisions regarding their health care. My approach is preventative and supportive and strives for a long-term doctor-patient relationship of trust and respect.

As a committed mother, I appreciate children and have a special interest in pediatrics. I believe that diet and the right food play an important role in the prevention of diseases as well as curing of all medical related conditions. Patients with mental health conditions, anxiety and mental trauma are welcome to consult, as I have a special interest in this medical field.

Dr Mia Daras

B.Sc (Physiology, Microbiology, and Biotechnology)
MBChB - University of Witwatersrand
Diploma in Primary Emergency Care (DipPEC)

I’m D. Mia Daras. Originally from Johannesburg, I now reside in the beautiful town of Somerset West, having moved to the Western Cape in 2024. I come from a proud Greek family and bring that strong sense of community and compassion into my medical practice. I completed a Bachelor of Science in Physiology, Microbiology, and Biotechnology, followed by a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery at the University of the Witwatersrand. My love for biology began early in life and grew into a deep passion for medicine and human physiology. What drives me in this field is the opportunity to be constantly learning while also making a meaningful impact in the lives of my patients.

I have a diverse background in emergency medicine, primary care, and evidence-based practice, and hold a Diploma in Primary Emergency Care (DipPEC). I also have a growing interest in dermatological and aesthetic medicine, with a focus on delivering holistic, patient-centered care. At the core of my approach is a strong belief in doing right by my patients— through holistic care, and always taking the time to educate.

I believe that when people understand their health, they are empowered to better manage their conditions and improve their quality of life. Outside of medicine, I enjoy cooking, reading, and staying active through pilates and running.

Dr Jacobus Kotze

MBChB - University of the Free State (1979)
MBL - UNISA (1994)

Board registered General Practitioner MP 0220191, practicing for 45 years.

I grew up in the Kalahari between Kuruman and Van Zylsrus in a small mining town Hotazel. My dad was the mining engineer and my mother a teacher at the local primary school. I matriculated at Sentraal High School in Bloemfontein and also graduated in 1979 at Free State University. After 2 years compulsory military service I started a private practice in Bloemfontein. We have 4 daughters and followed them until they got married and settled in Stellenbosch and Pretoria.

We moved from Kuruman 2 years ago and settled in the Strand. I took over dr Maritha Malan's practice where I worked with several younger doctors. I have extensive experience in GP work: sun damage to the skin and early cancer detection before it spreads, insulin resistance, asthma and chronic conditions such as coughing and tiredness, is all part of improving a patient's quality of life.

My passion and focus is preventative actions like stroke and heart attack prevention and treating any condition that prevents you from living a fulfilling life.
