Dr H P Manyonga & Associates
Second Opinion Service
Before you decide, be certain.
Facing a hysterectomy recommendation? A fibroid, cyst or abnormal result you've been told needs surgery? A diagnosis that doesn't sit right? Our Second Opinion Service gives you an independent specialist review of your case, your records, your results and your options, before you commit to major treatment. A good second opinion doesn't undermine your doctor: it either confirms the plan so you proceed with confidence, or it surfaces alternatives you deserve to know about. Either way, you decide from a position of knowledge.
Who it's for
- Women advised to have gynaecological surgery, hysterectomy, fibroid removal, ovarian surgery, who want the recommendation independently reviewed
- Patients with a new or serious diagnosis seeking clarity on what it means and what the options are
- Anyone whose symptoms persist despite treatment, or who feels unheard
- Families weighing treatment options for maternity or gynaecological complications
What's included
- Records review before you arrive, we study your referral letters, scans, laboratory results and histology in advance
- Extended consultation with specialist obstetrician-gynaecologist Dr HP Manyonga, FCOG(SA), unhurried, with every question answered
- Examination and, where needed, in-rooms ultrasound
- A written summary of our opinion: the diagnosis as we see it, the reasonable options (including doing nothing), and the benefits and risks of each
- A copy for your referring or treating doctor, if you wish, the choice to share is entirely yours
A second opinion is not a commitment to change doctors. It is information, so you can choose your treatment with confidence.

Lehlohonolo found Network One Health on TikTok. Her midwife Mando made the journey easy, and when gestational diabetes was found she was referred to Dr Majachani for her birth.

Hi guys, my name is Lehlohonolo, and I'm a patient at Network One. Am I a patient, or? Ex-patient! I first got introduced to Network One on TikTok. I got one of the best antenatal programmes, and that was the best journey of my life. My midwife was Mando, and I felt like I was at home. She made my pregnancy journey very easy, and things that I couldn't understand she made easy. Throughout the journey I found out that I had gestational diabetes, and I had to be referred to Dr Majachani. It was also the best decision ever. He's the best doctor, and he's the one that helped me give birth. Network One is the best. I would advise each and every mother who finds out they are pregnant to contact Network One. The staff here is wonderful, and they are very educational about your pregnancy and everything that you go through.
Dineo's takeaway from an NOH antenatal class: letting people help, and giving her partner a bigger role in the journey.
Read the transcript
My takeaway from the session today was about attachment, because I'm really attached. So I'm preparing myself mentally, not to detach, but to let go a bit and allow other people to assist and to also bond with the baby. Because I was planning on being overly active, being the one that's there for the baby all the time. So now I'm already thinking about letting people help and also be there for me, and not try to do everything on my own, plan everything on my own, and also let my partner play a bigger role than what I've been giving him already with the planning and the things he's been thinking about. So I'm taking those things into consideration so that he can also be part of the journey, and be a dad the way he wants to. And I'll try not to judge him, and just let him be. Yeah, that's my takeaway. Thank you.
