A Family Doctor Who Knows You
Dr Y Joosab holds an MBBCh from the University of the Witwatersrand and a Diploma in Primary Emergency Care (Dip. PEC SA). He is registered with the HPCSA and is a member of the South African Medical Association (SAMA) and the South African Academy of Family Physicians.
Family medicine is about continuity. It’s about a doctor who tracks your child’s growth, monitors your parents’ blood pressure over months and years, and picks up on patterns that a walk-in clinic never would. That’s the kind of practice Dr Joosab has built in Overport — and it’s reflected in a 4.7/5 rating across more than 5,500 patient reviews.
Family Healthcare Services at Our Overport Practice
General Consultations for All Ages
From infants and school-going children through to working adults and elderly patients, the Overport practice handles consultations across every stage of life. Coughs, fevers, rashes, infections, injuries, and everything in between — Dr Joosab sees it all, and sees it properly. Consultations are unhurried, and every patient gets the time they need.
Chronic Disease Management for the Whole Family
Chronic conditions don’t stay neatly within one generation. If a parent manages diabetes, there may be risk factors worth monitoring in their children. If a grandparent has hypertension, the whole family benefits from a doctor who understands that context.
Dr Joosab provides ongoing chronic disease management for conditions including diabetes, hypertension, asthma, high cholesterol, and more — with structured follow-up appointments, medication management, and lifestyle guidance built into the care plan.
Child Health and Paediatric Consultations
When your child is sick, you want to see a doctor fast — and you want one who knows them. The Overport practice offers same-day appointments for children, covering acute illness, general paediatric concerns, and developmental queries. Dr Joosab provides personalised guidance to parents at every step, from infancy through to adolescence.
Preventative Care and Family Health Screenings
Prevention is one of the most valuable things a family doctor offers. Routine check-ups, blood pressure monitoring, cholesterol and glucose screening, and general wellness assessments are all available at the Overport practice. These are especially important for families with a history of chronic illness, where early detection can change outcomes significantly.
Repeat Prescriptions
Managing long-term medication across multiple family members is often one of the most time-consuming parts of healthcare administration. The Overport practice handles repeat prescriptions efficiently, with all major South African medical aids accepted.
Medical Certificates and Assessments
Sick notes, pre-employment medicals, fitness-to-work certificates, and general medical assessments are all handled at the Overport practice — typically on the same day.
Health Monitoring and Follow-Up Care
For family members managing ongoing conditions or recovering from illness, consistent monitoring matters. Blood pressure checks, glucose tracking, weight management support, and general wellbeing reviews are available as part of the practice’s ongoing care offering.
