Dr Gareth Chilton is a Specialist General Surgeon who has established his independent practice at Mediclinic Cape Town after being part of a well-regarded group practice.
His approach to surgery is defined by technical precision, patient-centred care, and a commitment to ensuring the best possible surgical outcomes. Dr Chilton’s passion for medicine was sparked during his final year of high school when he had the opportunity to observe surgery in theatre. Although he briefly considered engineering, his fascination with the surgical field led him to pursue medicine.
His medical journey began at the University of Pretoria, where he completed his MBChB in 2009. He went on to complete his internship at Pietermaritzburg Hospital Complex and community service at Vredenburg Hospital. His early career saw him working across various hospitals in the Cape Town Metropole, gaining invaluable surgical experience as a medical officer.
