Dr Renata du Preez, Specialist Psychiatrist in Garsfontein, brings over three decades of expertise exclusively to Mediclinic Denmar Mental Health Services. After earning her MBChB from the University of Pretoria in 1986, she completed internships and community service at leading Pretoria hospitals. Then in 2000, she attained her MMed (Psych) at the same institution, solidifying her foundation in adult and geriatric psychiatry.
Combining science with compassion, Dr du Preez refined her skills through rotations in mood‐disorder, anxiety, and psychosis units. In 2005, she helped launch Denmar’s first geriatric mental health programme, tailoring therapies for older adults. Later, she introduced digital outcome‐measure tools—including PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scoring—to adjust treatments in real time. Meanwhile, she mentors trainee psychiatrists and leads weekly clinical‐governance meetings to elevate care standards.
Driven by a bio-psycho-social framework, Dr du Preez blends psychopharmacology with personalized psychotherapy. Furthermore, she collaborates daily with psychologists, occupational therapists, and social workers to craft cohesive treatment plans. Her approach empowers clients to build resilience and sustain long-term well-being.
