Dr Makhoba has a broad range of skills in both open and laparoscopic surgery. His special interests lie in Breast Surgery, Endoscopic Procedures and Laparoscopy. He is currently in the process of setting up a multidisciplinary specialised breast clinic which would serve both Melomed Mitchells Plain and Tokai.
Dr Makhoba is dedicated to providing his patients with treatment and care that exceeds their expectations. He believes that his patients’ experience matters as much as the reason for their appointment. Dr Makhoba tries to ensure that his patients are comfortable so that they don't hesitate to voice any concerns that they may have; whether it's about the procedure itself, the complications that may arise or post-procedure care.
