Dr Danie Schneider - Obstetrician & Gynaecologist - Stellenbosch

Dr Danie Schneider is a highly regarded obstetrician & gynaecologist practising at Mediclinic Stellenbosch. He earned his MBChB from Stellenbosch University in 1991, followed by both his FCOG (SA) and MMed (O&G) in 2001 . Early in his training, he completed rotations in high‑risk obstetrics at Tygerberg Hospital and then spent two years at Cheltenham General Hospital in England. During this period, he managed complex pregnancies and worked within a regional cancer centre, deepening his expertise in multidisciplinary care.

After returning to South Africa in 2002, Dr Schneider opened a solo practice in Somerset West. Then, in January 2017, he relocated to Mediclinic Stellenbosch to balance family life with a broader patient base. Consequently, he now leads an expanded service that integrates general gynaecology, infertility care, and a dedicated uro‑gynaecology unit. Importantly, he builds trust through thorough consultations and clear explanations, ensuring each woman feels heard and supported.

Dr Schneider remains active in professional governance and education. He serves as a director of the national Gynaecology Management Group and regularly presents at conferences. Thus, he continually integrates the latest evidence‑based protocols into his practice.
