Dr. Paul Freinkel
MBBCh (Wits), MSc Med (Emergency Med), PGDip HSE
Please note that Paul is only available on Tuesdays.
I am a Wits qualified doctor with an extensive experience in trauma medicine who has evolved into the appreciation of general practice and patient-involved therapy. I am interested in medical teaching especially with the validity of medical exams.
Dr. Sharon Cohen
BSc (Wits) MBBCh (Wits)
I graduated with an honours degree in psychology at Wits University in 1992 and then went on to study medicine at Wits, from which I graduated in 1999.
Since 2002 I have been in private general practice in Johannesburg and at the Village Medical Centre since 2005. I enjoy the fact that general practice often melds the disciplines of psychology and medicine. My interests include women’s wellness and chronic health problems such as hypertension and asthma, but at the same time I enjoy the variety of clinical problems that one encounters in the general practice context.
When not with patients, I enjoy choral singing, tinkling on the piano keys and art-making.

Family friendly GPs
We LOVE having children visit and are qualified to treat most ailments, injuries and conditions. You often don’t need to go straight to a paediatrician. Come in to the rooms, or book a virtual consultation, and if we need to refer you to a paed, we will.
