DR HEATHER THERON

Dr Heather Theron qualified in 2001 at the University of Pretoria, following in her father’s footsteps. After completing her internship and community service training as well as a diploma in anaesthetics in Pietermaritzburg, she spent some time working in the UK and New Zealand. In 2006 she returned to her home in Umhlanga where she joined her father Dr Derek van Deventer in private practice.

A genuine family practice that tries to live by Proverbs 17:22“A Cheerful heart is Good Medicine.” Father and daughter make a good team, allowing for the balance of a family life and running a practice. Heather is married to Philip and they have 3 beautiful children.
