Bay Urology was established by Dr. Gérard Grobler in 2024 as a general urology practice that offers a wide range of clinical services and has plans for future expansion. The clinic swiftly became known for its patient-centred approach and state-of-the-art treatments. Dr. Grobler, with his extensive experience and compassionate care, attracted a diverse patient base, from those seeking routine check-ups to individuals requiring complex surgical interventions.
We know urology and the advantages of routine check-ups. Bay Urology has addressed some of the most common questions from our customers:
We are currently contracted as designated service providers for most medical schemes. We will confirm if your medical aid covers the cost of the consultation prior to your appointment and if not, you will need to settle the account. Our practice will provide you with an invoice and you are welcome to enquire it from your medical aid.
A consultation for a new patient in the rooms is currently R1500 and includes further tests or procedures in the rooms, as required.
Professional fees for surgical procedures will be discussed with you prior to any procedure. We can submit your bill to your Medical Aid/Insurance as a courtesy. This does not mean that you are not responsible for the entire account. Your Medical Aid may not cover the full fee (most people are under-insured) and this may result in a co-payment, in addition to what the medical aid reimburses. Please do not hesitate to ask questions if you require additional information.
We do not routinely consult via telephone or email. Under extra-ordinary circumstances, you are welcome to arrange a telephone consultation by contacting the rooms in advance. You will be charged for this and may be requested to pay this fee in advance.
Emails are used for administrative purposes. We do not give medical advice via email. Patient care in hospital and in our rooms will take priority over email correspondence. We will try to respond within 48 hours, but this is not always possible. Should you not receive a response, please follow up telephonically. Please allow longer for reports, prescriptions, and blood test request forms.
For urgent medical queries, e-mails are not appropriate communication. Please telephone our rooms, see your GP or visit the nearest emergency room.
You do not need a referral letter to see one of our doctors. If you have seen other doctors, it is useful to bring as much documentation (e.g. test results) with you to the consultation.
