DR SUZAAN JACOBS

Originally from the Western Cape, I completed my medical degree at Stellenbosch University before gaining clinical experience across the public sector, military healthcare system, and private general practice in different parts of the country. Alongside medicine, I’ve also worked as a personal trainer - an extension of my passion for movement, health, and supporting people in making sustainable lifestyle changes.

My journey to becoming a pain doctor was shaped by my interest in how our daily habits influence our long-term well-being. I believe effective chronic pain management requires a whole-person approach - looking not only at the physical, but also emotional and lifestyle factors. I'm excited to use my experience to assist patients in better understanding their pain and improving their quality of life.
