I have started this thread to put down the names and numbers of the various Doctors who do flight medicals because lots of Folks ask for them on a regular basis

The CAA site is quite useful in this regard

This is the link to the section with registed aviation medical practisioners:

A tip to get in front of the queue in Cape Town area is to go to Dr Stoners offices at Cape Town international, I saw Dr S. Levy. The Cape Town offices had a three day waiting period.

For those in the West Rand, go to the Life Extension Institure (Mayo Clinic in Flora CLinic) They do everything in one place including x-ray all in approx 1 hour. I think the aviation doc only comes in on tuesdays though.

Morph – how many Doctors do we have as Forum Members? It would be nice if we could encourage a few to join and give a professional opinion from time to time. Here I refer to issues such as what medication should not be taken prior to being PIC etc. This would be in the form of a direct response to a direct question – rather than a reference manual or thesis.
