    Dr Aimee Jenkin is an incredible person. From the very first consultation, I felt reassured that I was in the right hands. Throughout post-surgery, Dr Jenkin was informative, supportive and she's funny :-) too. I was very grateful for my speedy recovery one month post-surgery. The experience with the Alchimia Clinic's team was so welcoming and friendly, it was truly exceptional. I would certainly recommend them.

    Thank you Alchimia Clinic for the most amazing experience, honestly have never experienced this kind of care at any other hospital ! Every single one of your staff members are so caring and professional! I was welcomed by your secretary Debbie very early in the morning on the day of my op ! She is lovely ! - your nurses are absolute angels and Shihaam made me feel so at home ! The entire experience felt like a retreat !

    My review has been long overdue. I can not thank Dr. Jedeikin enough for giving me back my confidence. I had my implants removed, after 20 years, and mastopexy. Dr Jedeikin exceeded my expectations with the end result. He's an amazing surgeon, so caring and a humble human being - thank you, Dr. Jedeikin. I also want to praise the rest of the staff at the Alchimia Clinic - absolutely professional staff. Thank you, Debbie, for your after-hours assistance with all my questions and Melisha for my dressing changes. Furthermore, my stayover at the Retreat for my recovery was amazing - first class. Thank you, Annette, for taking care of me and to Shihaan for the fabulous food. Never have I experienced this type of "stay" after a medical procedure. I felt so relaxed, comfortable, and taken care of, as though on vacation. I can not thank everyone enough for taking care of me - thank you, Carin.

    I would highly recommend this practice. Dr Jedeiken and his team is exceptional! The support structure throughout the process is excellent. From the start to the end, I felt safe and had experienced people around me to assist with all my questions. The recovery retreat also made me feel very comfortable with 24 hour assistance and the most caring people. The procedure itself went very well with minimal bruising and swelling. I can breathe properly now and am very happy with my results! Thank you to the whole team for turning a scary procedure into such a pleasurable experience!

    Dr Jenkin is absolutely amazing, I felt so comfortable and safe in her hands and I am so happy with my results. I would like to thank Julia and the whole team at the Alchimia Clinic for making me feel so comfortable considering I had never had surgery before, and the facilities are absolutely amazing! I felt like I was in a 5 star hotel. I have recommended Dr Jenkin, Your Breasts and the Alchimia Clinic to everyone I know, you really can't go wrong.

    Exactly 11 months ago, I have taken the best decision in life. Great service, most friendly assistance & nurses ever. Doctor is from another level, that's for sure. Result, no problems at all. I am lucky as my scars are healing nicely. Can highly recommend the Alchimia Clinic and would do it again and again and again !!! :-)

    I had an amazing experience from start to finish! Dr Dale Geoffreys is an amazing surgeon and everyone that was involved in my breast augmentation procedure was kind, professional and thorough throughout the whole process. I am SO happy with the results - Dr Geoffreys knew exactly what I wanted and he gave me exactly that! I was also very well taken care of post-op at the Alchimia Clinic retreat - I felt comfortable, safe and that I was in good hands. The matron also made the most delicious food. I wished I could stay another night! 😁 Thank you YB & Alchimia Clinic team, for making it possible for my biggest dream to come true, and taking such good care of me ❤️

    I needed to have a melanoma removed this week and was so grateful to have it done by Dr Gareth Tjasink. I was anxious about it, but Dr Tjasink and everyone at Alchimia Clinic were so warm and caring. Dr Tjasink has recently moved to Cape Town from Johannesburg and what an asset he is. 100% recommend!

  • 5/5 Janez V. 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend Alchimia Clinic. The facilities and specialists are world class and I felt relaxed and reassured throughout the process.

  • 5/5 Cheyne G. 1 year ago on Google
    What a lovely experience! From the moment I walked in to the moment the friendly nurse wheeled me to my wife’s car. I can highly recommend Alchimia Clinic 👏

  • 5/5 Khanya G. 11 months ago on Google
    Hands-down one of the best experiences I've had. The staff at Alchimia Clinic are absolute wonders. Any and all of my anxieties about undergoing a surgical procedure were washed away with the care and safety that the clinic enveloped me in. And my overnight stay at the recovery retreat is nothing short of luxury. Dr Jenkin, the team at Alchimia, and their skill and care make me want to recommend this clinic ten times over.

  • 5/5 Janine A. 10 months ago on Google
    Alchimia Clinic is really a retreat, I will recommend everyone to go there. The staff from the receptionist of Dr Tjasink Karen to Ashley that provided me with the costings of the procedure. Ashley came to introduce herself the day of the procedure and that was so nice. Everybody is friendly and they assure you everything will be okay. The nurses that assist was super awesome. 👌The overnight stay was better than my own bedroom. Shihaam made me feel at home and took good care of me. She made the most delicious meals. 😋 Even coming back for my follow ups was a pleasant. Thank you Alchimia Clinic you will see me again.

    I definitely had the best doctor and compassionate humanbeing as a surgeon for my breast reduction journey. From the first encounter with Dr. Gareth Tjasink he made me feel comfortable, at ease and safe. I have been wanting to have breast reduction surgery for the past 20 plus years and eventually it was possible, when I discovered Yourbreast clinic. Affordable surgery and no hidden cost or suprises after surgery. I am extremely pleased with the service I receive from Dr.Tjasink and his team at Your Breast and the Alchemia clinic. It has been a very supportive experience since day one, when I made contact with Karen, Dr Tjasink's secretary, who makes each visit and call a very pleasant humane experience. Dr. Tjasink made sure to explain the process in-depth prior to the surgery and was available to answer all the questions and concerns I had before surgery and post surgery, with such kindness and patience. Even before I was wheeled into surgery, I really appreciated him checking in with me to confirm my intentions again and to check that he was clear with regards to my wishes for the end result. He assured me that he would do his very best to ensure the best results. I am extremely satisfied with my end result. Debbie and the team(the nursing staff) at the Alchemia Clinic was amazing and really eased my anxiety, as they clearly explained every step from the moment I was admitted. They were very supportive and patient pre and post surgery and made sure I was comfortable and ready before moving me to the retreat facility. Here I was warmly received by Shiham, who really made the stay pleasant and took good care of me that evening. Shiham made sure to check up on me and my room mate continuesly and really made sure we were both comfortable by providing extra cushioning and escorting us to the bathroom when needed. Everything about the retreat was very nurturing , including the food. I am nearly 4months post surgery and still am very pleased with the outcome of the surgery and the ongoing support from Dr. Tjasink as I continue on my healing journey. I am forever grateful for this life transformative surgery and grateful that I had you as my surgeon. May you continue to be blessed and may you continue to bless others with the work you do. With gratitude, Violetta

    I would like to thank all the staff at The Alchimia Clinic for the superb treatment and care received on Friday as I underwent complex mouth surgery and 8 implants. Special thanks must go to my dentist Dr Peter van Rooyen and the kindest reassuring anesthetist Dr Liezel Schmidt. This is one excellent clinic. One of a kind.

  • 5/5 Cassidy F. 11 months ago on Google
    Having never had any sort of surgery or been under any anaesthesia before, I was naturally quite anxious about my procedure. However, I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dr Jedeikin’s beautiful practice and everyone at Alchimia Clinic makes you feel like you’re at a five star hotel. Thank you to the whole team for being so genuinely kind, warm and helpful in calming my nerves pre- and post-op. A special shout-out to my nurse in the retreat for putting so much love into your delicious meals and for taking such fine care of me. My recovery was smoother than I could’ve imagined thanks to Dr Jedeikin’s consistent check-ins and I am completely in awe of my results. Thank you for making a dream I’ve had for over a decade come true <3

  • 5/5 Elise N. 1 year ago on Google
    My overnight recovery in The Retreat after my breast reduction was pure luxury and I could have settled in for my annual vacation⭐️ Attention to detail all focussed on the patients comfort was spectacular. Beautifully decorated rooms, sublime food beautifully presented and excellent nursing care and post op convenience makes this facility World Class⭐️

  • 5/5 Annchen L. 2 years ago on Google
    Alchimia Clinic, home away from home. There was just such a peace when I stayed there that I thought to myself I will have to recreate this at home. Thank you for keeping it wonderful and making us all feel like we are somewhere special. The staff was great, on top of things and the food, AMAZING! I didn’t want to go home.

  • 5/5 Nikki K. 1 year ago on Google
    I've had a few operations before, but I've never gone through such a stringent pre-operative disinfection routine as I did when I went to Alchimia Clinic. I was really impressed with their procedures. Both before and after my operation, the staff were kind and friendly, and made me feel welcome and relaxed. Thank you for the fantastic care.

  • 5/5 Mirella M. 1 year ago on Google
    Alchimia Clinic exceed all the expectations you could possibly dream! Friendly and caring staff, state of art facilities, 7 stars hotel if you stay overnight with crispy linen and scents from heaven, delicious and personalized food, beautiful paintings and art everywhere. Such a great experience, thanks to all of you.

  • 5/5 Barbara K. 2 years ago on Google
    When I decided to have a face lift as well as upper and lower eye work done, I naturally did my homework on plastic surgeons in Cape Town. After much research, I decided on Dr Lionel Jedeiken as my surgeon of choice. Allowing anyone to conduct extensive surgery on your face is a remarkable act of trust, as there is absolutely no room for error. Based on the excellent reviews from his numerous patients, combined with his extensive experience of almost 3 decades as a highly skilled surgeon, I expected an excellent result. What I did not anticipate was to have my expectations exceeded on almost every level. A mere 13 days post op, the face lift surgery scars were almost non existent and my eyelids had completely healed. There is still a bit of bruising and swelling which will go down in the next few weeks as my face settles. Despite this, as I haven't even seen the optimum result yet as I'm still healing, each time I look in the mirror I see a young girl looking back at me, a girl I haven't seen in almost 15 years. My essence hasn't changed, even my dimples are still there. I look exactly like me, just a much younger and fresher version. Pre and post op protocol was excellent, everything was thoroughly explained to me so I knew exactly what to expect each step of the way. From Debbie at front desk, to Anett the head nurse assistant, to the anesthesist, to Shihaam at the recovery center post op, made for an all round wonderful experience. There was never any pain, only discomfort. Post operative care is brilliant, with numerous follow up appointments, all conducted with the personality, the humour, the caring and the passion that is Dr Jedeiken. Thank you is an understatement.

    Alchimia Clinic is without a doubt amongst the finest, superlative and foremost cosmetic and surgery clinics on a global scale which undoubtedly also goes for Dr Jedeikin as an amazing reconstructive and cosmetic surgeon. Following the phenomenal success and result from my first procedure performed by Dr Jedeikin and his team, it was without a doubt and with full confidence to return to Alchimia Clinic to undergo both a septoplasty and rhinoplasty. The skill, care and quality always provided by Dr Jedeikin, and his whole team at Alchimia, led me to face little pain and discomfort post-operation and was back to normalcy within two days post the procedure. My quality of breathing, and the overall aesthetic of my nose, has improved greatly. I have to give my greatest of thanks to the entire team at Alchimia Clinic and have to say that there is no doctor other than Dr Jedeikin, team or clinic that I would recommend or use for any cosmetic or reconstructive procedure.

    I couldn’t recommend this clinic enough. I felt so safe, content and taken care of at this clinic with the very loving, professional and helpful nurses, Debbie and Ashleigh and of course Dr Jedeikin and the other doctors. I am so happy with my results. The way they take care of you at this clinic is like no other. I felt like I was at a spa for the day! The best of the best. Thank you so much everyone. Love Tyler

  • 5/5 Nicole H. 1 year ago on Google
    What an amazing experience, top notch care with staff that were so helpful. The food was great and the lady on duty was willing to help me with anything I requested and did it with a smile on her face. It's a relaxing environment and it really felt like home away from home. Would highly recommend staying even if it's just for 1 day, gives a person chance to relax 100% after surgery.

  • 5/5 Marc S. 1 year ago on Google
    Paradise does exist and it's at Alchimia Clinic. The service, staff, amenities, care, etc was off the charts. Debbie was available permanently to help and assist me with everything and also being a strong support to me during the process leading up to my surgery. Also, Ashleigh and all the other wonderful ladies

  • 5/5 Germari S. 1 year ago on Google
    From start to finish this has been the best medical experience I ever had. For years I felt that this procedure was out of my reach. You hear so much about botched surgeries. Dr Jenkin was kind, reassuring and incredibly knowledgeable. I left my first consultation excited and assured. Then, when it came to the operation day itself, the staff was amazing. Every single lady in that operating room cares deeply about what they do and their patients, and the aftercare in the overnight clinic was superb. Special mention needs to go to Shihaam and Julia, who made me feel at home. Dr Jenkin guided me in aftercare and what I could expect, which really helped a lot with those anxious moments once the meds wear off! I'm so grateful for my results, I have a new life! If you are at all on the fence whether you should do this, this is your sign to go ahead and change things for the better.

  • 5/5 linda b. 1 year ago on Google
    I recently had surgery done at Alchimia clinic and I was very impressed with how caring all of the staff was. They took good care of me from the time I walked in. I definitely would not hesitate considering them again for another surgery. Thank you!

    Alchimia is one of THE BEST experiences I have ever had at any hospital/clinic. The staff makes you feel welcome and safe, and really care!! Thank you to the reception staff, nurses, anesthetist and dentist. I was even called afterwards to check up on me as I was bleeding quite bit. Amazing people!! Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Lucinda K. 1 year ago on Google
    After much research and deliberation, I decided to have a bilateral breast reduction procedure. This was not a decision I took lightly as I had been wanting to have this done for many years. I simply couldn't find a surgeon or facility that "felt right" - until I discovered Dr Aimee Jenkin and Alchimia Clinic. The excellent reviews on your website, coupled with before and after pictures where the level of "patient satisfaction" was clearly evident, convinced me to book a consultation. Dr Aimee Jenkin did not disappoint. She treated me with understanding and patience and answered all my questions thoroughly. Her relaxed, easy-going manner immediately put me at ease so that I felt safe in her experienced hands. It has been just over 3 months since my procedure and I am over the moon with the results. I feel lighter and more energetic and for the first time in many years, I am able to wear the correct sized top for my body. Thank you to Dr Aimee Jenkin, Alchimia Clinic, Julia and every other staff member who made my experience as comfortable as it was. You changed my life for the better. I unreservedly recommend you.

    Hi there Debs, My surgeon, Dr Gareth Tjasink, was extremely professional and has the most amazing bedside manner. I am beyond happy with my results....Thank you. I wanted to mention you, Debs, and your amazing colleagues for the wonderful stay I had at the Alchimia Clinic. The staff were so friendly but still remained extremely professional at all times. From the moment I stepped in the rooms, all my anxiety was pushed aside by the calming effect the staff had on me. Your theatre matron, Melesia, was amazing....every time I opened my eyes, post op, she was there with a wonderful smile on her face... Cindy , Akhona and Annett, not only are you all so beautifully groomed but extremely professional... I felt like a queen. Nothing I asked for was too much hassle. Lastly Debs, just love you. I hope to see you all soon for my next "adventure" Kisses to all the girl Love Barbara Priday

    This was my second visit to Alchimia clinic, my first being six months ago. I can honestly say with true conviction that attending this clinic was once again a pleasant experience. The Matron, staff and Doctors/Dentists are so professional and super friendly putting one at ease immediately. I couldn't think of anywhere else I'd rather go for a procedure. So thank you Alchimia Clinic one and all. Love Gill Koch x

    Dr. Aimee Jenkins is nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment I walked into her clinic, her warm and reassuring presence instantly put me at ease. Her impeccable bedside manner and genuine care made me feel like I was in the best hands possible. I had a vision for my breast augmentation - I wanted them to look natural and feel like they had always been a part of me. Dr. Aimee not only understood my desires but also turned them into a stunning reality. My breasts are now perfect, and I couldn't be happier with the results. She truly is an artist in her field. The entire journey, from initial consultation to my overnight stay, was marked by five-star service. Every question or concern I had was met with patience and expertise. Dr. Aimee's willingness to address all my worries made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I can't recommend Dr. Aimee Jenkins enough. If you're considering any procedure, I encourage you to consult with her. I only wish I had made this decision sooner. Dr. Aimee is not just a doctor; she's a master of her craft, and her work is nothing short of perfection.
