Hi, my name is Ali Makepeace, I am an ENT surgeon that specialises in paediatrics and I am also a Mom to two children (Harrison is 10, and Erin is 7).
I opened my practice at Sandton Mediclinic in 2018, after returning from a year of additional training, in a world-class children’s hospital in Scotland. While there I learnt many new skills, and gained a vast amount of experience with managing and helping kids with ENT conditions.
They say hard work pays off and it sure does! Because of this extra experience at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Glasgow, I feel I am able to offer the best possible care to my own patients back in my home city, and country. I have now had 5 years of experience at Sandton Mediclinic and have built up relationships to have a world-class team support me in managing and caring for sick children, and supporting their families, in South Africa and from many countries across Africa and the world. Without the support of paediatricians, paediatric surgeons, speech therapists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, radiologists, nursing staff and many more, I would not be able to deliver the care that the sick children in my care deserve. I have a good referral base and will also be able to refer the patients to the best in all spheres of healthcare, thus enabling me to have a holistic approach in caring for your child.
I know the intricacies of being a parent, the fears it brings when they are unwell, and the celebrations achieved when they are healthy and developing their own personalities and characteristics.
I hope that we can develop a relationship that keeps your child’s best interest at heart, in an environment which can often be daunting.
Thank you for taking the time to have a look through and seeing more about the conditions I treat, the surgeries I do and any other services I offer.
I look forward to meeting you and your little one.
