Ongoing care that fits around your life

At Dr Joosab Medical Practice, chronic disease management means more than a repeat prescription. Dr Y. Joosab builds up a picture of your diabetes, hypertension or asthma over time, so your care plan reflects how you’re actually doing between visits, not just a single reading on the day.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or you’ve been managing your condition for years, you’ll see the same doctor at each review, and same-day appointments are available if something changes unexpectedly.

A joyful moment of family bonding captured in a warm embrace indoors.

What's included in a chronic disease review

  • Blood pressure, blood glucose or lung function checks appropriate to your condition
  • A review of your current medication and any adjustments your doctor recommends
  • Repeat prescriptions for long-term medication
  • Referral for additional tests or to a specialist, where this is needed
  • Practical guidance on managing your condition day to day

Which conditions are managed at this practice?

Diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2), hypertension and asthma are managed on an ongoing basis, alongside other related long-term conditions. Where a condition needs specialist input, your doctor refers you and continues to coordinate your general care.

How often will I need a review appointment?

This depends on your condition and how well it’s currently controlled. Patients who are stable are often reviewed every one to three months, while those recently diagnosed or adjusting to new medication may be seen more often. Your doctor agrees a schedule with you at your first visit.

What should I bring to my appointment?

  • Your current medication, or a list of what you’re taking
  • Recent test results, if you have them (blood glucose readings, blood pressure log, etc.)
  • Your medical aid card
  • Notes on any new symptoms or changes since your last visit

From my call to Mala (receptionist) until I left doctor's office has been an experience of care, warmth and professionalism of the highest level. You are given attention to all times and all patients are treated with equality. Dr Moola is a very humbled, caring human being who always puts your health and wellbeing at the forefront of your visit. He compliments Dr Jasoob very well and this is very assuring. Very difficult to find this quality of service in our communities today. Thank you very much for your service delivery of excellence. It is gratifying to be associated with Doctors of this calibre in today's times we live it. Keep up the excellent service.

My daughter had chickenpox and we got to Dr Joosab just as he was leaving. The office was already closed but when I asked him to please confirm it was chickenpox he went out of his way to accommodate us. He even walked us to the Pharmacy to prescribe the medication my daughter and I could get with his discount. My wife offered to pay and he refused. Absolutely recommended him. He is a good Doctor but a better human first. Something most Dr's forget is important. Thank you Dr Joosab

He's a doctor. He's a good doctor. He's just not any doctor, he is a special doctor. A doctor good with good ethics, a doctor with a moral compass, a doctor for humanity. Is he skilled, wow he is skilled as though he was meant to do this for the people. Is he good with children, you bet he is. This is a naturally talented doctor at the very top of his profession with good character, they call him doctor, Doctor Yakoob Joosab! A breath of fresh air and simple, remember in simplicity there's contentment.
