No complaints whatsoever. The facility is clean and modern, the staff are always free to help and Dr Marais took his time to understand my concerns and was very straightforward with his explanations which eliminated any misunderstandings, fears or dissatisfaction.

I came to see Mr Marais to discuss issues with breathing through my nose. He was very reassuring and explained the procedure needed during the consultations. After deciding to go ahead with the surgery, I couldn't be happier! Recommended if you suffer from breathing problems.

From start to finish Mr Marais took great care of both of my children ages 6&7 throughout their consultations, procedures and after care. I spent a long time researching the best ENT surgeon for my children and he didn’t disappoint. Thorough, caring & professional. 10/10

I recently had a septorhinoplasty with Dr Marais. I had never had an operation before and was extremely nervous, especially as it involved altering my appearance. Dr Marais throughly outlined the procedure and answered all my questions and concerns. I liked the fact that there was no pressure and how he has a really calming approach. On the day of op, Dr Marais and his team were lovely and made me feel at ease. The care I received was exceptional which really helped with my nerves. The recovery process was practically painless and I only took painkillers on the first day. I had bruising under my eyes, as expected and this took around 2 weeks to heal. I am now 2 months post op and I am extremely happy with the results. It takes some time to adjust to seeing a new profile and can mentally be quite challenging but you really have to trust the process. I am now able to breathe with no difficulties. The bump which I was always extremely insecure about, has been removed, giving me the side profile that I’ve always desired. I can’t thank Dr Marais enough for his work. My nose looks so natural and I still look like me. I am extremely happy that I put my trust into him and would highly recommend Dr Marais for anyone looking to have the same procedure.

Excellent surgeon, I couldn't be happier with my nose! I had Septorhinoplasty, as I had terrible problems with breathing out one nostril. I can now breathe properly and the shape is just what I asked for. Couldn't recommend Mr Joe Marais enough.

I couldn’t recommend Mr Morais highly enough. Throughout the whole process he was friendly, not trying to push me into anything, very honest about what was achievable, made sure I was completely sure and answered any and all questions me and my mum had. I wanted my nose smaller but didn’t want to completely change everything about it or look different in the face. I was so happy with how my nose turned out, it didn’t change my face at all, I still looked like me and the nose reduced in size a lot. The surgery itself was short and the anaesthetist was really friendly and funny, he also put my cannula in whilst I was unconscious as I am afraid of needles. The only bad thing I would say about the process was the after effects of the anaesthetic, I was quite ill and had to stay in hospital for a few more hours than usual. Oh and the itching from the nose tape under the bandages! It was relatively painless, I wasn’t sore after the surgery and I only took paracetamol for the first 2 days. The only time it was sore was after all bandages came off. I’m around 8 weeks post op, still a little numb in the tip of the nose and a little sore when I wear my glasses for long periods (this is normal and was due to what I had done in the surgery.) I believe the price was really reasonable and I am so so so glad I had it done. It has boosted my confidence immensely and I am no longer trying to hide my side profile. Thank you so much Mr Morais!

Mr Marais took time to explain my problem and options for treatment. He was reassuring, skilled and very caring. Sinus surgery went well. I can breathe through my nose and smell again. Recovery was quick and no pain after I left hospital (1 night stay).

We came to see Mr Marais for a septoplasty for our daughter a few weeks ago. He came highly recommended to us and deciding to go ahead with the operation with Mr Marais was the best decision we ever made. We couldn’t be happier with the final outcome and the way we were looked after. We were nervous about the procedure but Mr Marais immediately put our minds at rest with his friendly and reassuring manner and we felt in very safe hands right from the start. The operation went smoothly without complications and the recovery period was pain free. We couldn’t have chosen a more skilled, professional and caring surgeon. Thank you Mr Marais.

After years of suffering with enlarged turbinates and several unsuccessful procedures I consulted Joe, he carried out a resection in 2016. To say the outcome changed my life for the better is an understatement. Arguably one of the most experienced ENTs.

My daughter had her tonsils and adenoids removed a month ago. Dr Marais and his team were brilliant and they did everything to make my three year old comfortable. The operation went well and we were discharged in the same day. The recovery was very fast and not as painful as I expected. She was on regular painkillers for a week and eating and drinking was fine. She didn’t lose any wait and she didn’t develop any complication. Since the operation, she’s been sleeping very well, no snoring or sleep apneas. She’s been also eating much better and her breathing has improved a lot. It’s been life changing for all family as we can all sleep now. I think it was the best decision we have ever made for our daughter. I would definitely do it again.
