Dr Schalk van Staden – General Practitioner – Erasmus Park

Dr Schalk van Staden practices as a General Medical Practitioner at Intercare Castle Gate in Erasmus Park. He earned his MBChB from the University of Pretoria in 1996, which provided a robust clinical foundation. Subsequently, he completed specialist training in Family Medicine at the University of the Free State, deepening his expertise in holistic primary care. Moreover, he holds certifications in Aesthetic Medicine, allowing him to offer non-surgical cosmetic treatments that complement his general practice skills.

Before joining Intercare Castle Gate, Dr van Staden amassed over 22 years of private practice experience, during which he refined his diagnostic acumen and patient-centred approach. During that time, he also lectured at the University of Pretoria, mentoring medical students and junior doctors in both theory and hands-on clinical skills. Consequently, he brings academic rigor and seasoned judgement to every consultation. Outside the clinic, he enjoys nature-based activities and community outreach, which help him stay grounded and reinforce his commitment to preventive wellness.
