Dr. Andrew Macleod

I was honoured to be named Dux of Michaelhouse in 1983 before completing my MBChB at the University of Cape Town in 1989. Following my internship, I spent two years working in the United Kingdom—primarily in respiratory medicine—and Canada. I subsequently returned to South Africa and established my own medical practice in Westville, KwaZulu-Natal, where I served the community for 35 years.

During this time, I acted as principal investigator for several clinical trials in the fields of asthma and allergy, areas that remain of particular interest to me. I also completed diplomas in Practice Management and Maritime and Submarine Medicine.

After relocating to Cape Town, I spent two years working in pharmacogenomics. I am now based at the Hout Bay Family Medical Centre, with a particular focus on allergy, asthma, longevity, wellness and weight management.

At this stage of my career, I value having the time to provide thoughtful, academically informed care tailored to each patient. I remain committed to expanding my knowledge and staying clinically relevant so that I can continue offering the highest possible standard of care.

Outside of medicine, my interests include painting, cycling and design.
