Thank you so much to Dr Hans Relling and the lovely young ladies at reception, for the very informative experience today. Dr Hans is warm and caring and explained everything so clearly, as to what I need to do further for my pain relief. The lovely, friendly young ladies at reception were so happy and helpful, explaining procedures and bookings etc. I walked in very nervous, but the soft,tranquil decor put me at ease too - I really love the waterfall feature!I left the practice feeling so much more at ease and very optimistic that Dr Hans can help me! - Theresa Howarth

Dr Liebenberg is a highly experienced and knowledgeable medical professional. After my decades long history of spinal and other surgery, he gave me a “behind the scenes” look into the shortcomings of most commonly used medical diagnostic tools, often leading to unnecessary and inappropriate surgery. The diagnostic first step of self-management through natural products, diet, exercise and both physiotherapy and occupational therapy was recommended together with further information on the website. Further non- or minimally invasive alternative pain management with advantages and shortcomings was also discussed. A refreshing, realistic, caring and excellent consultation.
Walther Schwellnus (Pain Garden Route)

Dr Karriem was extremely thorough during my initial consultation. There was no pressure on me to proceed with any surgery, but I felt I was in good hands and trusted her with my procedure, so I went ahead. It’s been 12 weeks since my procedure, and my pain is at a totally manageable state for me to carry on with my daily life. If I have managed to avoid or even just postpone neck surgery, it has been an extremely worthwhile investment.
Kyle Kahn (Pain Foreshore)

My husband referred me to Dr Nadah Karriem, the pain doctor. My first session with her in February this year was excellent and informative, and she also makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed. Her secretary is also very friendly and helpful. I had lots of pain in my shoulders, headaches and pain in my left elbow. I had an RFR and so far, I’m very happy – Alhamdulillah shukr to Allah. The staff at the hospital is very friendly. I like that, making you feel calm and at home. I had my first session with the OT, Claire James. It was very good, she's so easy to talk to. You feel very relaxed, and she is very informative about your lifestyle. I really enjoyed it. 
Amiena Solari (Pain Rylands)

Dr Greyling is a very professional and thorough doctor who walks the extra mile. She takes time to listen and doesn’t make you feel like you are just another patient. She follows up, phoning even after hours sometimes to hear how you are doing. They use a holistic approach in healing and treatment. I am thankful to walk this journey with her and the team.
Chantelle Bruton (Pain Breedevalley)

Pain clinic and Dr Karriem has made a huge difference in my life and adding value to every consultation. The care and treatment are 200% recommended. The facilities and staff are amazing and make the pain less painful.
Marwaan Brown (Pain Rylands)

I can only echo and underline what the other patients have said. What an incredible group of people around Dr Greyling. From herself to admin to PA to theatre professionals. Lovely people. They take care of all admin relating to hospital admissions, authorisations, etc. We have not found the root of my pain, but not for lack of trying. Knowledgeable, relatable, friendly, caring and affordable professionals with whom you can go on a journey of healing – always hopeful, not fearful of your medical expenses.
Anita Jordaan (Pain Whale Coast)

All I can say is wow, what an amazing experience I have had over the past months. The ladies at reception are so warm and welcoming. Chat here and there to make you feel part of the family they have created. Dr Karriem is so kind-hearted and really connects with her patients. She gives all options available and really takes the time to know her patients. Ladies, you have truly impacted my life with your beautiful smiles, and caring hearts. I have already recommended you to many people I know, and I will continue to do so, as you really put your patients first. Thank you for all that you have done for me thus far. Candice Bauer (Pain Panorama)

I am so impressed with the results of my pain procedure. 6 weeks after the procedure and I am almost pain-free. After the procedure, it normally takes 6–12 weeks to be really effective, and I have already had very good results after only 6 weeks. Thank you so much, Dr Taljaard. I will certainly recommend you.
Priscilla Evert (Pain Durbanville)

Dr Karriem was fantastic. She explained everything meticulously and made me feel completely relaxed. The day clinic was also highly professional. Every detail was taken care of. Admin staff were so professional, it made it an effortless experience. As well as the follow-up care in the rooms post procedure. I’m feeling huge relief, and I’m very happy I took care of my back.
Francesca De Chaud (Pain Deep South)

I was referred by many doctors I had seen to contact the Pain clinic at Panorama. I was always hesitant, but once I got to a point of no return regarding my pain, I made the appointment… and since then, I have had amazing progress. It was the best decision I have ever made. From the calming atmosphere and the amazing ladies at reception, who are always smiling and know me by name (it took one visit) to knowing you are going to leave with answers and feeling better is appreciated more than I can express. I’ll be back soon about the doctors, as they deserve their own 5 stars!
Robyn Fortune (Pain Panorama)

I had my first treatment at the clinic in 2022 and had virtually no pain and discomfort for the first 2 years, following the advice that was given by Dr Liebenberg and his team. I recently received treatment from Dr Karriem, and I already feel an improvement and will continue with my recovery as time goes along. A really great team, offering excellent communication and service.
Eben Jaftha (Pain Panorama)

I was referred to the Pain clinic to help me with my chronic pain, and so far, it has been a very good experience. The staff is very welcoming, and the treatments offered seem to really have a positive impact. Very professional approach with lots of great results for patients.
Sandra Middleton (Pain Foreshore)

Professionally run practice with excellent support. Dr Taljaard reduced my pain using a variety of methods, and I’m able to live a normal life again. I would confidently recommend the Pain clinic as a service provider.
Francois van Jaarsveld (Pain Durbanville)

The Pain clinic has been a great support for me during my struggle with rheumatoid arthritis. The receptionist is always open and helpful, and the waiting rooms give off a calm ambience. Dr Karriem is the humblest and gentlest soul and is brilliant in her field of work.

Danielle Mans (Pain Breede Valley)

Hi, my journey with Pain Breede Valley started three years ago. The pain in my arm was the reason I went to my GP. She referred me to Dr Greyling. After all the tests were done, I was told that it was actually referred pain from my back. I received my procedure and never looked back again. Dr Greyling was professional, kind, understanding and efficient. I now refer people with similar back problems to her. They also now speak highly about her professionalism, kindness, caring and efficiency. Thank you, Pain Breede Valley, you are the best. Blessings.
Esther Jordaan (Pain Breede Valley)

Friendly, efficient, caring, yet professional. That’s been my experience at the Pain Collective in Worcester. Dr Van Heerden takes time to listen to his patients. And the ambience and delicious coffee is an added bonus!
Sylvia Botha (Pain Breede Valley)

It was a blessing for me to be referred to the Pain clinic some years ago. To date, I still experience professional, best-quality yet warm consultations. Linda, you are outstanding. The receptionists are friendly and very helpful. I am truly thankful for the better-quality life the clinic has helped me achieve thus far. You are all appreciated.
Mokolo Mojela (Pain Panorama)

(Translated by Google) I have been receiving treatment at the Pain clinic in Worcester since 2022 and can recommend it. Dr Greyling is very competent, and it is a pleasure to go to her. (Original) Ek kry behandeling by die Pyn Kliniek Worcester sedert 2022 en kan dit aanbeveel. Dr Greyling is baie bekwaam en dit is n plesier om na haar te gaan.
Vida Mitchell (Pain Breede Valley)

Dr Karriem and Marlene are an awesome team. From making me feel welcome to giving me sound medical advice. Thank you for making a difference to my pain management.
Audrey Lodewyk (Pain Rylands)

I was scheduled for a medical procedure (rhizotomy) on Thursday 15 February by Dr Karriem. The reception at the practice in Cape Town was overwhelming. I immediately felt at home upon arrival due to the manner in which the receptionist welcomed me at the practice. I felt part of the family. The interaction with the doctor was phenomenal. She explained in detail what the procedure entailed. I never felt like a patient. Seeing Doctor Karriem in theatre before the procedure started, simply brought about a calmness knowing that I was in good hands. I recommend to anyone to make this group of professionals your preferred team of choice.
Joseph Swartbooi (Pain Foreshore)

A beautiful new office with a calm and relaxed atmosphere. Examination and treatment on point. You will be welcomed by a very friendly and hands-on receptionist. Parking will not be a problem at all. Keep up the good work.
Antoinette Dreyer (Pain Blouberg)

Wow... what a breath of fresh air! That is how I felt once I had been to see Dr Elze-Mari Greyling at the Pain Collective in Hermanus. Dr Greyling along with Dr Hattingh (her anaesthetist) and her great team (attending in theatre, office staff, administrators, just all of you) are so kind, respectful and helpful. I have had neck pain on and off for over two years, recently tipping the scales at 10 on the pain scale. At long last I have found someone who not only understands my case but has really helped me understand the ‘how’ and ‘why’, and the treatment required. I had my procedure done last Friday and I can honestly say that I feel so much better already, even though I believe this procedure takes some 6 weeks to kick in – that’s what peace of mind gives you! Everything was organised by the Pain clinic for my procedure and it was all done very professionally. Thank you to all at the Pain Collective.
Carol (Pain Whale Coast)

Had a great experience with the staff at the Foreshore Pain clinic. Very friendly and great response to enquiries via email and telephone. Dr Karriem did a really good job of making us feel comfortable both before and after the procedure. Great place to go to for pain management and would recommend it to anyone. Thanks, Foreshore.
Craig Benjamin (Pain Foreshore)

Dr Liebenberg is the first medical specialist, who has taken the time to find the root cause of my symptoms of pain. Undergoing scans, I found that I have chronic osteo-arthritis. After years of wasting thousands of rands and receiving wrong medication from other doctors, I have found the problem and can now actively treat it. I would recommend to anyone having medical problems, to start at the Pain clinic first to save time, money and anguish. Trust me, you will be happy you did. It is great to know that South Africa has an ethical doctor who is there to help and find the root cause of your symptoms. I am grateful to have come across Dr Liebenberg.
Llewellyn Schooling (Pain Paardevlei)

(Translated by Google) Friendly, professional. Finally, I got the right treatment after all these years. Dr Greyling does an excellent job. Will advertise widely. Thank you very much!! (Original) Vriendelik, professioneel. Uiteindelik het ek die regte behandeling gekry na al die jare. Dr Greyling doen uitstekende werk. Sal wyd adverteer. Baie dankie!
Lourens Jonker (Pain Breede Valley)

Excellent experience at Pain Durbanville with Dr Taljaard and her team. I opted for conservative treatment with a rhizotomy and related nerve blocks back in 2017 and have had a few procedures since – the most recent was last week – and I haven’t looked back since!! Definitely the way to go to avoid pain and surgery. Back in the swing of things the next day! Dr Taljaard and her team, at the office and in theatre (Dr Hattingh) constantly displaying patient empathy, all the while being very professional every step of the way. Excellent choice to make. Thank you very much for all your advice, help and care. Really appreciated.
Ryan Butler (Pain Durbanville)

I can’t speak highly enough of Dr Taljaard and her team. From the minute you walk into the beautifully decorated waiting room you feel welcomed. Dr Taljaard is so knowledgeable, encouraging, helpful and patient. She has helped both my husband and I manage our pain so well and we are incredibly grateful. Highly recommended.
Justine du Plessis (Pain Durbanville)

At Pain Winelands, and under the specialised care, treatment and procedures performed by Dr Izelle Taljaard, my life has returned to normal and for the first time in 12 years I have been pain-free. This whole process is world class. Thank you, Dr Taljaard!
Andre Welman (Pain Winelands)

Thank you so much, Dr Karriem and everyone in the team, for the great work you do. My back was in serious pain and the pain went from my lower back down to my left leg. I couldn’t walk far without resting, and working as an electrician every day was a battle. I went to see Dr Karriem and she sorted my back pain out without having to undergo surgery. Surgery is definitely not something I take lightly. Once you start surgery it opens up other problems that are irreversible. I would recommend everyone with a back pain to first see Dr Karriem!
Leonard McDonald (Pain Foreshore)

After nearly seven years of enduring chronic pain, consulting 52 doctors, enduring numerous hospital stays, and grappling with three autoimmune diseases, I had exhausted every possible avenue for relief. That was until I discovered Dr Taljaard at the Pain Collective. Having undergone two treatments with them, I am currently planning my third – and the transformation has been nothing short of miraculous. The impact is profound; my pain level, previously at an 8+, instantly dropped to around a 3. The relief persisted for an impressive 4 to 6 months, requiring fewer pain pills and allowing me to embrace more life and freedom without any downtime. Despite the distance – residing in Pretoria while the Pain Collective is based in Paarl – every additional cent spent on flying there, renting a car, and covering accommodation is unequivocally worthwhile. The entire team is exceptional, and the convenience of reaching out to my doctor via WhatsApp has significantly streamlined my life. I wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend the Pain Collective for their life-changing approach to pain management.
