Dr David Cummings
Dr Dave was born in Zimbabwe in the mid-1970s and moved to the Gillitts area in the early 1980’s. He completed his Matric at Kearsney College before studying a Science degree at UKZN. He then achieved his dream of studying medicine at Wits university graduating in 2003. He spent one year internship at Prince Mshiyeni Hospital in Umlazi and one year Community Service at Johannesburg General Hospital. After working for a few years as a GP in northern suburbs of Joburg, he returned home to Hillcrest.
He has been in General Practice now for nearly twenty years. Dr Dave enjoys all aspects of Family Medicine, but has a special interest in ADHD management – both children and adults, having completed a certification course under Prof Venter in 2012. He also enjoys treating diabetes and chronic metabolic syndrome, having been part of the Practitioner Network of the Centre for Diabetes Education since 2017. His wonderful wife Sue is an accomplished Hand OT practicing at Busamed Hillcrest Hospital, and together they have three amazing teenage children who attend Curro Hillcrest High School, as well as two large Ridgebacks and Rex the cat who thinks he rules the house.
Dr Dave practices from Le Domaine Health in the mornings and Hillcrest Surgical Unit in the afternoons. We are so happy to have him join our team. Warmest of welcomes!

Dr Tamzyn Green, General practitioner
Tamzyn is a general practitioner who grew up in Pietermaritzburg and matriculated in 1996 from Pietermaritzburg Girls’ High School with 7 distinctions. She went to study medicine at the University of the Witwatersrand where she qualified in 2002. She has always loved KwaZulu-Natal and was fortunate enough to be placed at the Greys/Edendale/Northdale Complex in PMB for her Internship, and at Addington hospital for her Community Service. She was delighted to spend her whole community service year in Pediatrics, with future plans to become a pediatrician. During this year, she studied for and completed her Diploma in Pediatrics.
The following year, she moved to Worcester and worked in a Pediatric HIV and TB clinic at Eben Donges Hospital. Life, however, took her in a completely different direction and she started working as a GP in Johannesburg, then Dullstroom, and eventually back in her happy place in KwaZulu-Natal, where she plans to stay indefinitely.
Tamzyn now works here at Le Domaine health which she loves, and also works some afternoons and afternoons at Hillcrest Surgical Unit. I love all my patients, but particularly enjoy working with pediatrics, the elderly, psychiatry, and addiction. I am so excited to embrace tis ne venture at Le Domaine Health.
