Dr Johannes H Kritzinger - Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon

Dr Johannes Hendrik Kritzinger qualified as a medical practitioner in 1998. During his studies he developed a special interest in surgery. As he pursued this interest he discovered that plastic surgery and in particular micro vascular surgery and reconstruction was where his passion lay. The ability to help people with special surgical needs became a worthy and fulfilling quest 

In 2010 he qualified as a plastic surgeon and was in a partnership for six years, until 2016, when new horizons beckoned and  Dr Kritzinger ventured out on his own by starting his own practice, allowing him to concentrate in the areas that are his speciality. He works from Life Groenkloof Hospital, previously known as Little Company of Mary Hospital
