Your Doctors

Dr Ethan Chellan and Dr Claudia Lakay co-founded NeoHealth in February 2025 after gaining extensive clinical experience in rural Eastern Cape hospitals, tertiary paediatric centres, and established general practices in East London. They chose George to build the kind of practice they believe in — thorough consultations, postgraduate-level care, and no rushing.

Complete healthcare needs met through integrated general practice and primary care solutions

Medical Aid Coverage

Our practice is registered with most medical aid schemes. These include, but are not limited to, the following:

Our Mission at NeoHealth

NeoHealth offers a full scope of GP services under one roof — from cervical screening and children’s health to chronic disease management and minor surgery. Most services available without a specialist referral.

We opened NeoHealth because we believe a GP consultation should never feel rushed. Every patient gets the time they need — whether that’s a 10-minute sick note or a 30-minute chronic disease review. We treat the full family, keep medication in-house with our dispensing licences, and submit medical aid claims on your behalf

Personalised Care

Two doctors, not a rotating locum. You see the same doctor who knows your history, your medication, and your family.

Collaboration

We work with local specialists, psychologists, and allied health professionals — and provide detailed referral letters when specialist input is needed.

Excellence

Postgraduate qualifications in child health, HIV management, and mental health. Dispensing licences. Clinical depth that is uncommon in a single GP practice.

Trust & Transparency

We explain your diagnosis, your options, and your costs before you leave. No surprises on your medical aid statement.
