Wijnland Fertility

The Wijnland Fertility Clinic is a patient-centred clinic in Stellenbosch. Our individualized treatment plans incorporate your psychological well-being and integrated health care, while maintaining best-practice, evidence-based clinical treatment for fertility. Our patient-centered approach here at Wijnland Fertility is what differentiates us. Technically, most of the fertility services are provided by numerous other clinics, but are offered in isolation. Wijnland Fertility chooses to use biopsychosocial model (BPS), which is a general model or approach stating that biological, psychological (thoughts, emotions and behaviors), and social (socio-economical, -environmental & cultural) factors all play a significant role in human functioning in the context of disease or illness. We aim to treat patients physically, psychologically and socially in a warm, welcoming environment. For us it is not just about success rates, but rather the total experience. In fact, it's this approach that increase our odds and it shows in the numbers. Dr Johannes van Waart started fertility treatment in his private practice in 2001, after finishing specialist training as an Obstetrician and Gynecologist at the medical school of Stellenbosch University. In 2004 he completed his post-specialist fellowship in Reproductive Biology and Menopause under Prof Thinus F. Kruger (a world-renowned fertility specialist) and Prof Ernst Sonnendecker (a well-known menopause expert). Furthermore, he completed additional training in Laparoscopic Surgery in France in 2007. Wijnland has invested wisely in their intellectual property, giving their patients exposure to exceptionally trained staff who are committed to upholding and striving to improve international standards and success rates. Furthermore, they have acquired state of the art equipment, among others the now well-recognized EmbryoscopeTM, that allows laboratory staff to optimize embryo development and success rates.
