Description

Dr Marie Coetzee – General Medical Practitioner – Wonderboom

Dr. Marie Coetzee serves exclusively as a General Medical Practitioner at Intercare Wonderboom in Pretoria North. She earned her MBChB from the University of Pretoria, after which she deepened her emergency-care skills by obtaining a Diploma in Primary Emergency Care (Dip PEC[SA]). Additionally, she completed a Master’s in Diabetes from the University of South Wales (UK), underscoring her commitment to metabolic health.

Early in her career, Dr. Coetzee practised as a flight doctor, which sharpened her ability to make rapid, life-saving decisions under pressure. Consequently, she applies that same calm precision to in-clinic emergencies. Furthermore, she rotated through multiple trauma units, where she honed advanced procedural skills. Moreover, Dr. Coetzee led diabetes-clinic initiatives, designing patient education programmes that improved long-term glycaemic control. Above all, she values empathetic communication, ensuring that every patient fully understands their diagnosis and participates in treatment decisions.
