Private GP Practice & Family Doctors in George

NeoHealth opened in February 2025 because we believed George deserved something different — a GP practice where you see a doctor who is trained to manage the full picture, not just the presenting complaint.

We are Dr Ethan Chellan and Dr Claudia Lakay, both Stellenbosch University medical graduates who built our clinical foundations in the rural Eastern Cape — where you learn to be resourceful, think broadly, and manage complex cases from start to finish. We went on to work across tertiary hospitals and established general practices in East London before choosing the Garden Route deliberately: to build a practice that combines the breadth of rural medicine with the depth of postgraduate training, in a community we're proud to call home.

You'll find us at Suite 12, Prince Vintcent Medical Square on York Street in George Central — the entrance is on Gloucester Street, opposite the old Mediclinic, in the same centre as Ampath Laboratories and behind Dis-Chem Pharmacy. Whether you live in George, the surrounding towns, or anywhere on the Garden Route, we're here to be your family doctors for the long run.

As general practitioners, we do what GPs have always done — manage acute illness, chronic disease, preventive health, mental health, and everything in between. What sets NeoHealth apart is the additional training behind the front desk. Between us we hold CMSA diplomas, FPD certifications, IV therapy and point-of-care ultrasound accreditations, basic surgical skills certification, and dispensing licences — giving us the clinical scope to offer services that most patients would otherwise need multiple referrals to access. We dispense medication on-site, perform minor procedures and pap smears, administer IV therapy, and offer HPCSA-compliant telemedicine for patients anywhere in South Africa.

We are your first point of contact, your ongoing partner in health, and — when needed — the doctors who know exactly when and where to refer. That's what general practice should be.
