Dr Reinhold Marnewick – Psychiatrist – Alberton

Dr. Reinhold Marnewick practices as a Psychiatrist at Netcare Akeso Alberton. He earned his MB ChB from the University of Pretoria and subsequently achieved FCPsych (SA) status with the College of Psychiatrists of South Africa. Early in his career, he completed his community service at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, where he gained valuable experience in acute inpatient care.

Later, he undertook registrar training in general adult psychiatry at the University of the Witwatersrand’s teaching hospitals. During that period, he refined his skills in risk assessment, medication management, and emergency psychiatry. Consequently, he combines public-sector insight with private-practice best practices.

Dr. Marnewick has presented case studies at national psychiatric conferences and contributed to peer-reviewed discussions on mood-disorder management. Moreover, he mentors junior colleagues through continuing-professional-development workshops. Indeed, his approach balances rigorous evidence-based protocols with compassionate, patient-centred care.
