HOW THE PRACTICE RUNS
Zaan is your day-to-day contact.
Zaan Swart, Practice Manager
Zaan has been with the practice for about 9½ years. The day-to-day practice runs through her, and she is the first point of contact for patient queries, appointment requests, medical-aid benefit checks and practical questions.
Annè Nortman, Owner
Annè has owned the practice since 2017. She handles sign-off, payments and the website, but has limited day-to-day capacity in the practice and is not presented as a treating practitioner.
Good to know: Our optometrists do not have diagnostic privileges. When findings need medical diagnosis, dilation or specialist treatment, the practice will explain the concern and refer you to the appropriate ophthalmologist or other healthcare professional.
