Dr. Tom Groom
Family Physician
Professional Background
Born and raised in Cape Town, Dr. Tom Groom began his medical journey at Stellenbosch University, where he graduated Cum Laude. Following his studies, he relocated to Port Elizabeth, where he spent three years gaining invaluable experience on the front lines of the city’s public hospitals and clinics.

He believes in the importance of continuity of care—walking a dedicated journey with his patients and their families through every season of sickness and health. To Tom, medicine is not just about treating symptoms; it is about building lifelong partnerships based on trust and understanding.
Dr. Nico van Dyk
Men’s Health & Minor Procedures
Dr. Nico is a medical doctor with an appreciation for the kind of work where you can literally roll up your sleeves—sometimes to stitch up a laceration, sometimes to remind someone that yes, your shoulder pain does actually have a solution.
For Dr. Nico, there’s something satisfying about practical care that makes a tangible difference, whether it’s helping someone get back on their bike or finally sorting out that nagging health issue they’ve been ignoring.
