About

With nearly 25 years of experience in podiatry, Richard B. Masoetsa brings both deep clinical knowledge and international insight to every patient he sees. His journey in foot health began in Soweto, where he ran a thriving private practice.

Now back in South Africa, Richard continues to offer dedicated, world-class care to his patients. His approach is personal, professional, and always focused on long-term health and comfort.
