Dr Marshinee Naidoo – Specialist Psychiatrist – New Redruth

Dr Marshinee Naidoo is a Specialist Psychiatrist based at her private practice in New Redruth, Alberton. She earned her MBBCh from the University of the Witwatersrand in 2005. Moreover, she completed her internship and community service at leading Johannesburg hospitals immediately thereafter. In addition, her passion for psychiatry led her to obtain the Diploma in Mental Health through the Colleges of Medicine of South Africa. Consequently, she attained her Fellowship in Psychiatry (FC Psych (SA)) in 2012.

Following her specialist qualification, Dr Naidoo served as a consultant psychiatrist at Sterkfontein Hospital, where she gained hands-on experience in forensic psychiatry. Furthermore, she has practised full-time in private care since 2013, establishing her clinic on Clinton Road in New Redruth. She believes in holistic patient care, and thus she works collaboratively with a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, social workers, and occupational therapists. Additionally, she mentors psychiatry registrars at the University of Pretoria and regularly leads advocacy workshops on mental health stigma reduction in Soweto.

Dr Naidoo’s approach combines evidence-based treatments with compassionate support. Therefore, she stays current with the latest research through peer-reviewed journals and conference presentations. Moreover, she integrates digital tools—such as secure mood-tracking portals and telepsychiatry platforms—to enhance treatment engagement and remote monitoring. Consequently, patients benefit from seamless adjustments to their care plans, even between in-person visits.
