Dr. Sipho Ntshalintshali, physician & rheumatologist.
Careful, evidence-based specialist medicine with more than a decade of experience treating patients on the KwaZulu-Natal South Coast.
Dr. Sipho Ntshalintshali qualified as a medical doctor at the University of KwaZulu-Natal and completed his specialist training in Internal Medicine through the Colleges of Medicine of South Africa. He sub-specialised in Rheumatology, earning his Certificate in Rheumatology (SA).
His practice is grounded in the belief that specialist care should be both technically excellent and deeply human. Patients often present with complex, overlapping conditions — and Dr. Ntshalintshali takes the time to explain each diagnosis, weigh treatment options together, and coordinate with the wider care team.
He is an active member of the South African Rheumatism and Arthritis Association (SARAA) and the College of Physicians (SA), and holds admitting privileges at Netcare Margate Hospital.
