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.
