Dr Chris Opperman – General Medical Practitioner – Moreleta Park

Dr Chris Opperman, General Medical Practitioner – Moreleta Park, brings over a decade of clinical excellence to his role at Intercare Woodhill. After earning his MBChB from the University of Pretoria, he completed a structured internship and community service across Pretoria’s public health facilities.

Moreover, Dr Opperman holds a Postgraduate Diploma in Aviation Medicine, reflecting his specialised training in fitness assessments for pilots and aircrew.

Driven by a passion for holistic wellness, he integrates mental-health screening into every consultation.

Furthermore, he continuously updates his expertise by attending national conferences on preventive medicine, cardiovascular health, and occupational medicine. As a result, his practice combines the latest evidence-based guidelines with compassionate care.

Outside the consulting room, Dr Opperman leads community wellness events that cover nutrition, stress management, and fitness planning.
