Witkoppen Clinic

Currently in the post vaccination area at Witkoppen Clinic, pleasantly surprised by friendly atmosphere and an efficient process. Arrived just before 11am so after the 15 minute waiting period, all will be done in 45 min.

Thought I would add a follow up review for my 2nd Vaccination. I was due to go on Friday 17th Sept, unfortunately the staff administering the vaccines were delayed, so I could not wait.

I went back on the Monday morning (around 11am) straight in with no wait at all, except the 15 Minutes post vaccination as per the regulations.

For the covid vaccine, make sure you go to the black gate on Witkoppen road. At the entrance get a ticket on the left from a friendly staff member. You will then que on the seats at the entrance. The process is pretty fast. You will then be called to join the que outside the green tent. Each row goes in one at a time. When you reach the front row , you are able to sanitise and go into the tent. PS the seats are comfortable whilst waiting. Inside the tent the staff are helpful and friendly. Your details get taken. The atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming. You are asked if this is your first or second jab. You will need your ID. You will be given a choice between Ju0026J and Phizer vaccine at the desk. You will then proceed into the vaccination station where your card is signed by a staff member. You then are asked to roll up your sleeve to the top of your arm (it's advised to wear a short sleeve ) and when you receive the injection you barely feel a thing. Proceed to the post vacation station and wait 10 mins to make sure you rest a little and all is well. That's it ! See you at shot 2

I just come from there, to see the dentist (after i called yesterday to confirm that he/she would be in) i got turned away. In severe pain because the dentist only takes 24/25 people.

Then the security (and nurse) referred me to a queue for first timers (this was my first time to visit the clinic) . Needless to say I was not one of the24/25 people.

Looking for another alternative as the dentist is there only tuesday and thursday for 25 people. I hope this helps someone.

Terrible clinic , my colleague went to this clinic after being assaulted and bleeding from her head and the clinic told her they too busy to help her and told her to leave. Such Great Service

I was 1st exposed to Witkoppen Clinic 2021, I was directed there by Gov System to get my Jab there then I decided to give the rest of their facility a try . I don't do public hospitals and Clinics. I'm going to give you an honest review to those who don't usually go to Gov Clinics . Brace yourself yourself for long Ques, if you get there at 6am you are already destined to leave earliest at 2pm (with my last visit at 16:16) because by then you are patient number150 or so on the que. If you get there at around 10am/11:00 they won't let you in (they call it cutting the Queue). My review rating is based on my 1st experience there.... I got to understand why it takes so long. Witkoppen Clinic is thorough unlike Private Hospitals the moment you enter to open your file you get HIV Test and Counseling, then you move to vitals /urinary /pregnancy test etc. You understand why it takes long because there are many people, yet they have to ensure that all these steps are taken for every patient. The Key Staff members (Drs, Admin, Counseling staff, Nurses) they are polite, speak to you as if you matter (yes you can expect a bad tone here and there because we all have bad days at times ). My not so good experiences was 1. the security at the gate, he just wants to get order and won't nurse your feelings 2. by the time you get to pharmacy (14:00 - 16:00)they are rushing and want to close they will rush you through the process of how to take your meds 3. There are no Big Clear signs on Where to go Next and where to sit and wait, so you end up asking everyone where to go next 4.There Are Few Doctors (it's their biggest downfall), by the time it's 16:00 most volunteer Doctors and Sisters leave, then you remain with 2 Doctors on a que of 20 to 30 people .If you are a germ freak... Toilets are fairly clean, the Clinic is fairly clean (considering the numbers). I rate it 4 because of the kind service and hard working staff, i wish more donors would come through so systems could go back to being quick (as you keep hearing by old patients say) , because apparently the slow Ques are as a result of lack of staff members.

I just been to the clinic - since 4am this morning. I enetered the clinic around 6:30am and had to open a file. I had to do HIV test, urine test, was weighed in. I was then sent from pilar to post. Which I don't have a problem with, however when I needed to draw blood the nurse said she cannot find a vain and just started pricking in the arm without being sure. I am honestly not sure why most Govenrment institutions have to help us in this kind of manner. I am sitting with a sore arm pricked and no blood drawn. I mean really. The other one in Woman's Health department said what are you waiting for - I said my file is with the other lady I am waiting for her to call me. Then she said - WAIT OUTSIDE! Not even wait outside please just very rude. When are we going to do better in this country for a people who are truly looking for help and get no jobs to go to private facilities.
