A really good practice and Dr Behrens is highly recommended.
One in a million GP - truly caring and takes the time to really listen.
Everything ran very smoothly indeed.
Dr Behrens is our family doctor and we definitely recommend him especially to families with young kids
Brian as always provided excellent advice and treatment over the past number of years that he has been my family practitioner. He is empathetic and professional at all times.
We are very glad to have found our new family GP. What an excellent experience.
Been with doctor for 5 years and very happy.
Caring doctor, who will not rush his consultation.
He was very kind and helpful and the appointment was on time. Would certainly go back
Even as the last patient on a Friday afternoon., Dr Behrens took his time to listen and see to me thoroughly. Always a pleasure to see him.
Couldn’t wish for a better doctor!
It would be nice to know what other associated medical facilities are available at the location besides foot care ie Dentist, ENT, deep pressure point treatments?
Absolutely brilliant in all respects!

Good communicator and very knowledgeable.
Thank you. I always feel that Dr Behrens is thorough, completely engaged and attentive in my appointment and time with him. It's a privilege to have access to a doctor like him.
I am very happy with my appointment with Dr Behrens. His examination was thorough and unrushed and he even went to the trouble of getting my medical aid to pay for things that I was unaware could be claimed for. He also put my mind at rest about a medical issue that was unrelated to the purpose of my visit. I greatly appreciate his kindness and professionalism.
A kind, caring, patient and professional doctor.
Very professional team, highly recommed Dr Behrens. Thanks.
Kind, gentle and listens to your concerns.

The absolute best GP in Constantia.
Dr. Behrens is brilliant! His gentleness and care for my little girl is wonderful!
Did not wait long at all. Dr Behrens was very welcoming and it was an enjoyable experience to be back at the doctor after so long. Would definitely recommend!
Dr Behrens is everything you want in a GP and more. He is kind, caring, supportive, compassionate, understanding, responsive and professional. The practice is neat, tidy, clean and well organized.
Such beautiful offices! Dr Brian is always very kind and patient with a good bedside manner. Highly recommended!
Booking online had an interesting psychological efffect on me, as I subtely approached the appointment with an "efficient" attitude. This left me very aware of time and fitting in. However when I got home, this realisation hit me when I wondered why I hadn't asked the very important questions I needed to. Also having a doctor ask "anything else" gives one the impetus to ask.
Dr Behrens is knowledgeable and excellent.
Excellent doctor and great bedside manner
Great guy - great attitude - knowledgeable and efficient , with solid advice. Thorough & professional. Excellent.

Can highly recommend Dr Behrens.

Dr. Brian Behrens is an exceptional doctor who truly stands out in his field. My husband and I have had the privilege of being his patient, and I can confidently say that he is not only highly skilled but also incredibly thorough in his approach. Dr. Behrens combines expertise with a genuine concern for his patients' well-being, taking the time to listen attentively and explain everything in detail. His bedside manner is impeccable, making you feel comfortable and well-cared for during every visit. Beyond his medical proficiency, Dr. Behrens exhibits a compassionate demeanor that reassures and supports patients through their health journeys.

Useful to be able to book online. Relaxing premises. Good doctor!
Been my doctor for a number of years and I am obviously happy as a patient of his.
Feel comfortable and confident with the treatment I received.
This was our (my wife's and my) first visit to Dr Behrens - we were looking for a new GP, our previous one having retired. Dr Behrens was recommended by my wife's Oncologist, and I have to say the recommendation was very well founded. We enjoyed the immediate rapport with Dr Behrens and I am absolutely confident that we have found the right doctor for us.
Both Dr Behrens and Dr Van Niekerk are wonderful. I've only met Dr Van Niekerk once and was extremely impressed. She was warm and explained everything so carefully and clearly. I found her to be very thorough. I've been seeing Dr Behrens for a number of years and followed him to his current practice as he is so gentle, caring, thorough and simply excellent!
Dr Behrens is always professional and thorough.
I have been a patient of Brian's since he first joined Kendalwood with the move of rooms to Ladies Mile being seamless. I cannot praise Brian enough, anyone who wants to have a caring GP then look no further.
Been our G.P. for many years, a very kind and caring doctor who takes time to listen and goes that extra mile! I can highly recommend him.
A wonderful experience considering I was not looking forward to the procedure
Excellent communicator and good bedside manner. Highly recommended.
I found Dr Behrens extremely knowledgeable, patient, and very kind. He has a wonderful bedside manner and I felt very heard and understood. He is very compassionate. The rooms are beautiful, clean and modern, and reception was very helpful. I believe I have found my new doctor :) thank you!

Best Dr ever, always spot on with diagnoses
Dr Brain has become a very special part of our family health. He is also incredibly kind and patient with my little ones and goes over and above to accommodate and help our family. You cannot go wrong with him as your family GP
Your online booking platform made my life a lot easier, as I was able to see which timeslots were available at first glance. :) The driveway and entrance to the Practice are welcoming and it was easy to park. The receptionists are accessible and friendly. The waiting area is modern and comfortable with lots of light coming in from the lovely bay window - and I love the turquoise green colour scheme. Dr Behrens rooms are bright and modern . Overall it was a very pleasant visit to Dr Behrens , who is always friendly and gracious, yet professional . Many thanks Jenny Jones
Always love seeing Dr Behrens. He is very thorough and kind
Dr Behrens is highly professional, knowledgable and helpful.
Dr. Behrens is a phenomenal physician . I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him in a heartbeat. The only qualm I have is the waiting time. Since attending his new practice, I have had to wait over 40 minutes to be seen for each consultation.
Dr Behrens always goes the extra mile and his new premises are very good.
Very happy to be a patient of Dr Behrens.
Dr Behrens is a kind, caring and compassionate professional doctor. I fully entrust my health conditions to him. A really lovely guy.
Looks at client holistically. Listens to what one says before giving input
I am very happy with the service but find it a bit annoying that I am forced to provide a comment that is at least 30 characters long. Maybe next time I just won't bother. I am happy with Dr Behrens but I don't like this system. My recommendation is that you change the system. Hope this comment is long enough.
It doesn't bother me at all if Dr Behrens runs a little late because I know that if I ever need a little extra time I'll get the same care and attention.
Thank you Very attentive and courteous. A new GP practice with much promise
So happy I've change to Dr. Behrens. He listens so well and is so compassionate and helpful. He is also so great with my 1year old daughter.
Easy to make a booking. Lots of parking and lovely friendly staff and of course a great GP.
Professional , caring & thorough - repeatedly the best GP experience.
Brian is such an amazing and caring GP - would highly recommend his services!
Very happy, excellent manner, kind and direct. happy to recommend to anyone
Dr Behrens has to be the most caring and attentive GP I have ever had. I would highly recommend him to family and friends
Been going to Dr Behrens for years and always gets 5 star treatment and always spot on with diagnoses. Thank you Dr Behrens

Dr Behrens is, by far, the best GP I have ever been to. I cannot recommend him enough. His passion, commitment and dedication to his patients is just not found anywhere else.
Dr Behrens is our family Dr for a while now and we will never go to any other Dr! Best experience and best advice! He always take the time to genuinely listen and ensure he assists in the best way possible.
Great Doctor. Would be awesome if he could add my network to his list Iof Medaid but otherwise 10/10
Dr. Behrens takes the time to listen carefully and explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand, always showing a high level of respect and empathy. My experience with Dr. Behrens has been excellent, and I recommend him highly to anyone seeking a compassionate and dedicated doctor.

Dr Behrens really listens and truly cares about his patients. I have been his patient for a long time and his demeanour has been consistently gentle. kind and unwaveringly professional.

The wait time was awhile but now I know that he takes care of the patients so I can easily work while waiting as his waiting rooms are very relaxing.

It takes the pain out of engaged lines or unanswered calls
An excellent GP and he has Physio training which really does help in some situations.
