As a specialist plastic surgeon, Dr Ben Moodie is deeply passionate about his craft and is dedicated to offering modern, patient-centred treatment for both functional and aesthetic concerns.
Dr Moodie knew that he wanted to become a surgeon from the onset of his medical school training at the University of Pretoria, finding the opportunity to repair the human body extraordinary.
He obtained his medical degree in 2009 and went on to complete three years of General Surgery specialist training between 2014 and 2016 before accepting a post in Plastic Surgery. From 2017 to 2021, Dr Moodie perused Plastic Surgery specialist training, which he completed at the Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University (SMU).
