Biography
Dr Doucas believes that a good surgeon knows when not to operate. He is both passionate and meticulous about ensuring that his patients fully understand any procedure they may be considering. He ensures that this is the case by explaining complex medical procedures and their consequences, using easy-to-understand, non-medical terminology. Dr Doucas firmly believes that patients should be empowered to make informed decisions about prospective surgery and he therefore provides them with the requisite tools to do so. This is followed-up by comprehensive post-surgical care and consultation. Dr Gabriel Doucas graduated from the University of the Free State with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. He then went on to specialise as a Fellow of the College of Plastic Surgeons of South Africa, through the University of the Witwatersrand. In addition to running a successful private practice from the Netcare Linksfield Hospital, he is also a founding member of Pure Aesthetics, a non-surgical aesthetic centre, which is also based in the Linksfield hospital.

My daughter fell and split open an area above her eyebrow. I phoned the rooms of Dr Doucas to be told he wasn’t available to see her but would be on call at Linkfield Hospital Emergency and we should take her there. After waiting to see him he told my daughter that he would only stitch her under general anaesthetic?? She obviously didn’t have the resources or funds to be admitted to hospital so the doctor on duty had to stitch her up. Very disappointing that a plastic surgeon couldn’t take 30 minutes to ensure a professional job was done on her face.
