Dr Pieter Wiese – Neurosurgeon – Erasmuskloof

Dr Pieter Wiese is a Neurosurgeon based in Erasmuskloof. He earned his MBChB from the University of the Free State in 2014 and, moreover, completed an MMed (Neurosurgery) at the University of the Witwatersrand in 2024. In addition, he achieved his FC Neurosurg (SA) certification from the Colleges of Medicine that same year, thus affirming his specialist credentials.

Early in his career, Dr Wiese honed his skills at leading academic centres, where he gained broad exposure to both cranial and spinal cases. Consequently, he developed expertise in emergency neurosurgical interventions, as well as elective tumour resections. Furthermore, he embraces minimally invasive techniques, which reduce patient discomfort and accelerate recovery.

At Mediclinic Kloof, he leads adult and paediatric neurosurgical services, spanning routine decompressions to complex tumour resections. Therefore, each patient benefits from a personalized, evidence-based treatment plan. In addition, Dr Wiese adopts a collaborative approach that empowers patients through clear explanations and shared decision-making. Ultimately, he combines technical precision with compassionate communication in every consultation.
