Thank you is such a small word but has so many meaning. Thank you for all your kindness. Thank you for always smiling. From this day on, when I look back on the past, I will smile and say to myself “I never thought I could do it…But I did…I overcame all the people who tried to bring me down. Take care, Good luck. All my love

This place assisted me in a difficult time. The nursing staff and presenters are friendly and dedicated to their work. The OT classes was nice and helpfull and all the information I gathered will assist me in future.
L Barkhuizen
The schedule is well planned and everything there is well structured. It is a super safe environment and the nurses and other support staff were really supportive and caring. I really enjoyed my stay and would come back if it is needed.

I was at Vista clinic for 15 days. Thats where I got my life back . My referral was from a medicine Professor at Witts University who was previously treated by Dr. Akindipe. I have never seen a psychiatrist so thorough and detailed like Dr. Akindipe . This is me who had seen four different psychistrists in the last 10 years. I found the group programs very helpful. My gratitude to the Nurses in Azalea ward, my psychiatrist (Dr. Akindipe), my psychologist (Dr. Motshwane) and Bronwen the dietician who also helped me.
