Dr Marieta Witthuhn – General Medical Practitioner – Wilgeheuwel

Dr. Marieta Witthuhn practices exclusively as a General Medical Practitioner at Intercare Wilgeheuwel in Roodepoort, Gauteng. She earned her MBChB from the University of Pretoria in 1983, marking the beginning of over four decades of dedicated service in primary healthcare. Early in her career, she completed her internship and community service at leading regional hospitals, where she managed both emergency and routine cases with equal commitment. Consequently, she developed a versatile clinical skill set that spans acute care, chronic disease management, and preventive medicine.

Moreover, Dr. Witthuhn’s genuine love of nature and the outdoors informs her holistic approach to patient wellness. She often integrates lifestyle counselling—such as outdoor exercise and mindfulness in green spaces—into her treatment plans. Above all, she values empathetic communication, ensuring that every patient feels heard and fully understands their health journey. In addition, she mentors junior clinicians on patient-centred care techniques, which fosters consistency in high-quality service across the clinic.

Meanwhile, outside of her medical practice, Dr. Witthuhn enjoys hiking, birdwatching, and photography, activities that reflect her meticulous attention to detail and passion for balanced living. Thus, she brings both professional expertise and personal warmth to every consultation.
