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.

Medical Aid Coverage

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.
