We’re Dependable Obstetricians & Gynaecologists In DURBAN
Many women are sensitive to the idea of visiting an obstetrician or gynaecologist. It takes a lot to trust someone with an important function of your body, especially if it relates to the reproductive system. The best way to allay any uncertainty or fears about this is to find a medical professional who specialises in reproductive matters. This is exactly what the practice of Dr Leon Augustine and Dr Nitesh Parikh has to offer – services from obstetricians and gynaecologists in Pinetown, Chatsworth and Durban that you can trust.
Many women may also delay seeing an OB-GYN in Durban because symptoms feel confusing, embarrassing or “not serious enough yet”. In reality, early assessment often prevents complications later. As experienced doctors in their Durban gynae clinic, Dr Augustine and Dr Parikh prioritise early evaluation, accurate diagnosis and long-term planning.
Appointments are not rushed. Time is taken to understand symptoms in context, including menstrual changes, pelvic pain, fertility concerns or pregnancy-related questions, and to outline next steps clearly. This approach reduces anxiety and helps all of our patients feel informed rather than overwhelmed.

Not every appointment includes an internal examination. If an examination or test is recommended, it will be explained beforehand, and your consent is always required.
You are encouraged to ask questions, take your time, and speak openly. It is incredibly important that you feel comfortable every step of the way.

You do not need to be in pain or unwell enough to book an appointment. Many women attend because their periods have changed, they have pelvic discomfort, hormonal concerns, or they want clarity around contraception or fertility planning. Others come because something simply feels different and they want a professional opinion. Seeing an OB-GYN in Durban early allows concerns to be assessed calmly, before they become more stressful or complicated. It is a proactive step, not a sign that something is wrong.
