What determines a surgical quotation
A quotation is written after Dr Hoffmann has examined you and agreed a plan. Four things move the figure: the extent of the operation itself, the theatre time it requires, the anaesthetic, and whether an overnight stay is needed.
The quotation is itemised. It separates the surgeon’s fee from the hospital and anaesthetist accounts, which are billed to you directly by them. Nothing is booked until you have that document in writing and have had time to read it.
Where an operation has a functional component, the rooms will give you the relevant codes so you can confirm with your medical aid what, if anything, they will cover before you commit. Purely aesthetic surgery is paid privately.
Fees are reviewed periodically. The consultation fee shown here is current as at August 2026. For anything not covered, telephone the rooms on +27 64 400 4605.
Fees and medical aid, answered plainly.
- What does a consultation cost?
- R 1 200, payable in cash on the day of the appointment. The rooms do not have card facilities for consultations.
- Can I get a price for surgery over the telephone?
- No. A surgical fee depends on findings at examination, theatre time and the anaesthetic required. The rooms will not quote before Dr Hoffmann has examined you, because a telephone figure is a guess and an unfair one.
- Why is there no price list on this website?
- Two operations with the same name are rarely the same operation. Publishing a single figure would either understate what most patients pay or overstate what some do. Every patient receives an itemised written quotation instead.
- Will my medical aid pay?
- Purely aesthetic surgery is generally not a medical aid benefit and is paid privately. Where there is a functional or reconstructive component — a deviated septum, for example — part of the account may be claimable, subject to your plan and to authorisation. The rooms will give you the codes to check with your scheme before you commit.
- What is billed separately?
- The hospital account and the anaesthetist's account are separate from the surgeon's fee, and are billed by them directly. Your written quotation sets out all three so that there are no surprises.
- What happens if a revision is needed?
- The possibility of a revision, and how it is charged, is discussed at consultation before surgery is booked — not afterwards.
