About Me
Care Comes First
Welcome to the Orthopaedic Practice of Dr Kobus (JC) van Niekerk.
This practice focusses on improving pain and restoring function of damaged minor and major joints in adult patients. These joints include the hip, knee and shoulder joints.
Through cutting edge technology combined with years of experience in the field of joint care, I strive to improve the quality life for all of my patients.
Doctor van Niekerk completed his MBChB in 1990 at the University of Pretoria.
In 1992 he was appointed as a medical officer at Tembisa hospital.
In November 1999 he completed his (MMED) in Orthopaedics at the University of Pretoria, then he was appointed as Consultant in Orthopaedics at 1 Military hospital, Voortrekker Hoogte, Pretoria.
From the year 2000 until now, he has been practicing as an Orthopaedic surgeon, at his own private practice at Mediclinic Kimberley and LENMED Kimberley, expanding his practice to Kathu Mediclinic and Jane Keyser in Hartswater.
