We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Dr Kriel and his wonderful team for the outstanding care our son received after breaking his arm. From the moment we arrived, we were treated with kindness, compassion, and professionalism.
Dr Kriel was absolutely amazing — calm, reassuring, and incredibly caring throughout the entire process. He took the time to explain everything clearly and made our son and us feel comfortable and at ease during a very stressful time.
A special thank you as well to the friendly receptionist, whose warm welcome and helpful attitude made such a difference. Her kindness and genuine care truly stood out and made us feel supported from the very beginning.
We are so thankful for the excellent treatment and exceptional service we received. We highly recommend Dr Kriel and his team to anyone looking for compassionate and professional medical care.

I’m making great progress and am back to bike riding, doing jumps and tricks similar to what I was doing before my compound fracture. The external fixator was on for 4 ½ months, and since its removal, I’ve been rehabbing and steadily getting closer to where I was pre-injury. While my tibial fracture is still in the remodelling stage, the bone has generally made a good union and is strong enough to handle significant impact again. However, I am seeking stem cell treatment in December due to significant deterioration of my talar dome and surrounding soft tissues from a previous talus injury 5–6 years ago (as confirmed by recent MRI and X-rays). Aside from that, I’m doing really well and am so happy to be back riding after 6 months off! I just want to give a massive thank you for your incredible work. All the surgeons and doctors I've consulted with have said I’ve had amazing surgical results on both my ankle and wrist (which is also doing great, and I’ve regained almost full mobility). It’s always good to hear, and it's a true testament to your skill and expertise. Once again, thank you for your work. You’ve saved my life. Much love, Dan

Goeie dag Ons gesin was met vakansie in St Helena baai toe my 83 jarige Ma geval het en haar heup beseer het. Ambulans ontbied om haar na die naaste moontlike hospitaal toe te neem……daar aangekom is daar vasgestel dat sy haar Femur by die nek van die bal gebreek het. Vir ’n bejaarde vrou met baie gesondheids probleme waarvan diabetes en hart probleme asook gevorderde athritis ……. ’n groot invloed het op hoe mens ’n situasie kan beheer. Dr Kriel het ons onmiddelik gerus laat voel en baie deeglik verduidelik hoe hy die saak gaan benader en wat die risikos rondom ’n operasie gaan wees. Na ’n deeglike en versigtige benadering met behulp van die Internis aan diens het hulle besluit om die operasie wel te doen. Dit was ’n sukses en na 3 dae was haar pyn baie beter en na 2 weke was die been, volgens my Ma, weer reg en was daar minimum ongerief. Wat ek die meeste waardeer het van Dr Kriel, behalwe vir die goeie uitslag van sy operasie….was dat hy tyd geneem het om ons bitter bekommerde familie lede op hoogte te hou reg deur die hele proses…….wat op daardie tyd van onsekerheid vir ons baie beteken het. Dit spreuk van ‘n “bedside manner” wat maar baie skaars is.

My son got a rather unusual collar bone injury in Rugby. Dr Kriel made sure that the treatment going forward was in the best interest of my son (he was not in a hurry to operate due to the proximity of the sternum), so that he could get back to playing once the injury healed. We thank him for his time and research in making the right decision and would definitely refer him to the Maties Rugby Community.

I had a timely and effective surgery from Dr Kriel following a full rupture of my achilles tendon. It's been four months since my surgery and my recovery has been smooth with no post-surgery issues. The entire process has been professional and I received a lot of additional support outside the office.
