Welcome to Dr. Kevin Scheepers Inc.

I qualified as a doctor at WITS in 1989, completed my internship in 1990, spent 1991 working at 1 Military Hospital as an army doctor and then commenced private practice as a General Practitioner in 1992. I studied for a Masters in Sports Medicine through the Sports Science Institute of South Africa and University of Cape Town from 1994-1997.

My experience as a General Practitioner includes a wide scope of practice, including treatment of patients of all ages, all common ailments and all chronic diseases.

In addition, I have assisted orthopaedic surgeons once a week in a private hospital with hip and knee arthroplasties, shoulder, elbow, hand, spinal and ankle surgery.

I qualified as a Certified Independent Medical Examiner (CIME) through the American Board of Independent Medical Examiners in April 2012. This qualification now enables me to accurately assess patients and claimants with regards to permanent impairment/disability after injury and disease. The scope of this work includes accurate completion of Road Accident Fund (RAF4) claim forms as well as employers’ and insurance companies’ assessment of an impairment/disability claim. I currently see on average 8 clients per week from a leading legal firm in Johannesburg to assess their permanent impairment following motor vehicle injury.

I am the current Chairman (1999 to present) and Founder Member of NIMPA Health Care Limited (NHC Ltd.). NHC Ltd. is a regional Independent Medical Practitioners Association and private investment company with 300 current members and shareholders based in the Northern suburbs of Gauteng, Johannesburg.  As chairman of NHC Ltd., I established 4 multi-disciplinary NHC Health Centres in Northcliff, Bryanston, Honeydew & most recently Centurion, between 2002 and 2015.

I broadened my scope of practice and moved to Bryanston in February 2007. In addition to GP consultations, my practice now includes anti-aging, preventive medicine, aesthetic medicine & skin care, Botulinum Toxin, Fillers, medical fruit acid skin peels, executive wellness medicals, sports medicine consultations, weight loss programme, hormone analysis and treatment using complimentary medicines. (Vitamins, nutraceutical medicines, supplements and alternative medical treatment to treat and prevent chronic disease).

I have travelled extensively, both locally and abroad, attending numerous conferences and congresses in the fields of family medicine, sports medicine, managed care and aesthetic medicine.
