    Dr Reed is a lovely Dr. I originally booked an appointment for 15h00 - and was called to move my appointment 20min earlier, to 14h40. I did accommodate the request; however, I waited till after 15h00 to see Dr.

    Dr. Reed is an absolutely caring doctor. Actually both doctors and the interim doctor are ♥️ Dr. Reed takes her time to help you, she called me several times when I was very sick, with a rare bacterial infections. I'm her patient for a year now and can highly recommend the Helderberg Family practice.

    My first visit with Dr Reed ensured that she would become my primary physician. She has a warm and kind beside manner. Dr Reed’s consultation was very thorough and she pays special attention to detail. I’ve struggled with asthma for a long time and unlike many doctors that would just give a prescription to treat symptoms and send you on your way, Dr Reed took the time to make sure I fully understood my condition, the medication she was prescribing and how it should work to treat the condition and not just treat symptoms. She advised me of what to look out for and encouraged me to schedule a follow up to ensure that my condition gets under control and that I have the best possible recovery. Dr Reed offers exceptional medical care.
