A procedure which is potentially as life-changing as nasal surgery is not only about medical expertise and cutting-edge technology. The human factor makes all the difference -- especially when it comes to your pre-operative questions and concerns, your wellbeing during the procedure, and your post-operative care. Warmth and empathy may not show on a resume, but they most certainly enhance your sense of security and wellbeing -- and that's why we're so proud of our caring Nose Clinic team. Our Pretoria facilities are situated in a tranquil, secure nature reserve, and more than a dozen dedicated staffers ensure that we offer superior service in every way. Meet three of the professionals who are dedicated to ensuring that your treatment will meet the highest possible standards.

Specialist anaesthetist: Dr Werner Reinach
One of the last faces you'll see before you doze off for your transforming nasal surgery is that of the Nose Clinic's principle consultant specialist anaesthetist -- Dr Werner Reinach, MD. Dr Reinach will keep you safe and comfortable during surgery. He is also responsible for the Nose Clinic's surgical monitoring equipment and meticulous medical regime, and oversees the immediate post-operative medication. A graduate of South Africa's University of Pretoria, Dr Reinach obtained his Masters Degree Cum Laude. He entered private practice as a specialist anaesthesiologist with a particular interest in open-heart anaesthesia.
He later became fascinated with the field of conscious sedation, which led to him teaming up with the Nose Clinic's specialist surgeon, Dr Swanepoel. The result of their pioneering research was the development of the internationally recognised technique of Conscious Sedation for nasal surgery. Thanks to this safe, pain-free technique, you will not be subjected to the risks associated with general anaesthesia -- and you will see swifter healing and swifter results. Dr Reinach has the following academic qualifications: MB ChB (UP), ECFMG (USA), MMed (Anaesthesiology) Cum Laude, FCA (SA).
