For Patients
Everything you need to know before, during, and after your consultation with Dr Lachowicz.
The Process
Call us on 013 656 6143 or 082 433 0778 (WhatsApp only), or submit an enquiry via the contact form. We will confirm your appointment time and provide any pre-consultation instructions.
Gather any previous investigation results, specialist letters, and a list of current medications. A brief written summary of your symptoms and their timeline is very helpful.
Dr Lachowicz will take a thorough history, review your records, and conduct a focused examination. This is an unhurried consultation — you will have time to explain your situation fully.
Following the consultation, Dr Lachowicz will explain his findings clearly and outline a personalised treatment plan. This may include further investigations, medication, lifestyle changes, or specialist referrals.
Complex conditions require ongoing management. Follow-up appointments are scheduled according to your needs, with adjustments made as your condition evolves and responds to treatment.

Common Questions
A referral is not always required, but it is helpful. If you have been seen by another doctor and have existing reports or investigations, please bring these along. If you have a referral letter, this helps Dr Lachowicz understand the background before your consultation.
First consultations are longer than a standard GP visit — typically 45 to 60 minutes. This allows Dr Lachowicz to take a thorough history, review previous investigations, and begin forming a comprehensive picture of your condition.
Please bring your ID document, medical aid card (if applicable), a list of current medications, any previous investigation results (blood tests, scans, reports), and a brief summary of your symptoms and their timeline if possible.
Please contact the practice directly to confirm medical aid acceptance and billing arrangements. Our staff will be happy to assist with pre-authorisation and billing queries.
For urgent matters, please call the practice directly on 013 656 6143 or 082 433 0778 (WhatsApp only). We will do our best to accommodate urgent cases as quickly as possible.
Yes. Dr Lachowicz provides ongoing management for chronic conditions, not just once-off consultations. Follow-up appointments are scheduled based on your individual needs and the nature of your condition.
Absolutely. Coordinated care is important, especially for complex conditions. Dr Lachowicz will provide detailed correspondence to your referring doctor and other specialists involved in your care.
The conditions listed are areas of particular focus, but Dr Lachowicz sees a wide range of patients. If you are unsure whether your condition is suitable, please call or send an enquiry — a brief conversation is usually enough to determine whether a consultation would be beneficial.
