 Dr Lourens Viljoen – General Practitioner – Lynnwood Manor

Dr Lourens Viljoen is a highly experienced general medical practitioner in Lynnwood Manor at Intercare Glenfair, bringing a truly global perspective to primary care. Moreover, he earned his MBChB from the University of Pretoria in 2007 before relocating to Canada in 2011. During his decade abroad, Dr Viljoen practised across primary care, hospital medicine, obstetrics, geriatrics, and palliative care, which enriched his clinical versatility. Consequently, he achieved Certification from the College of Family Physicians of Canada (CCFP) in 2015 and served as a Clinical Instructor at the University of British Columbia, where he trained family practice residents. When he returned to South Africa in 2022, he refocused his efforts on delivering compassionate, patient‑centered care at Intercare Glenfair. Meanwhile, his enthusiasm for trail running and devotion to his wife and their five children reflect his belief in balanced wellness and work‑life harmony.

Early in every encounter, Dr Viljoen listens attentively to understand each patient’s concerns. Furthermore, he integrates evidence‑based protocols with gentle reassurance, so individuals feel both informed and supported. In addition, he values ongoing professional development—attending workshops on integrated chronic‑disease management, advanced diagnostic techniques, and holistic wellness strategies—ensuring that he applies the latest best practices in every consultation.
