Surgical Facilitator - Denise Hoogervorst

Denise Hoogervorst has been involved in the medical industry for over fifteen years. She was the managing director of the fastest growing Orthopedics Company in South Africa and has successfully worked and built relationships with a variety of highly skilled South African surgeons since its inception in 1998. Importantly, she has also been exposed to various levels of healthcare and recognizes the importance of quality healthcare services and post operative care.

Having been a breast cancer patient herself, she understands very well what any patient typically experiences before and after undergoing surgery and treatment.

With her medical knowledge and experience Denise saw an opportunity to offer a high quality medical facilitation service that is based on her industry knowledge and her relationships with some of the best surgeons in each of their respective fields. She wanted to offer a more personal and informative service than what most other surgical facilitators offer and hence Surgical Bliss was born. Her motto for surgical Bliss is Excellence, Ethics and Experience.

"I have been in many operating theatres all over the world and South African Hospitals are on par and in many cases, have even better facilities. I see so much potential in our country and have wanted to share South Africa and the expertise of our specialists and hospitality of our beautiful country with those patients in need of affordable and more accessible healthcare" says Denise.

In order to position Cape Town as a viable international medical tourism destination, she has traveled to International medical travel conferences to establish a competitive and attractive service offering that compete with any other popular medical tourism destination.
