“Lorraine is one of the nicest and most ethical people you could hope to encounter."

South African orthopedic surgeons are renowned internationally for being caring and empathetic, understanding that corrective and cosmetic procedures are a highly personal and private experience.
All practising surgeons in South Africa are qualified medical doctors and are registered with the South African Medical and Dental Council - thus adhering to the ethical codes of conduct as put forward by the association.

Fondly known as “Dr Chuck”, Dr Cakic practices as a general orthopaedic surgeon with a special interest in hips. He is one of few Orthopaedic Surgeons in South Africa skilled enough to do an anterior incision for total hip replacement surgery, a procedure that potentially reduces pain and length of stay in hospital.
