Branding and design influence the medical practice's reputation and patient retention. Personalised letterheads, logos, business cards and stationery packaging showcase the practice's reputation as a brand holistically. Patients are drawn to any facility of high repute, and there is no better way to speak about the practice than through brand design and packaging.

The team has been brilliant under very difficult circumstances. We started working on my practice as the lockdown came into place. I was also pleased with the payment structure, which you can see has been set up by people who know what the financial implications of starting a practice are.

I can recommend IMEDPRAC to anyone starting a practice or looking for a reboot of an existing practice. They helped me just after specialising in O&G. They really think of everything so that you don't have to. I honestly could not have done it without them, and it was money well spent.

- Dr Bongi Makhubo
We had to set up a private practice in two months. If it were not for iMedprac’s help and their expertise, we would have never been able to do that. They were always happy and available to help, and even after we've opened practice, they were still such a big help. I do not know how we would have done everything without them.
- Dr André Griesel
I had the pleasure of working with the phenomenal team at iMedprac with regards to establishing my medical practice.I can say that EVERY single facet I required help with in order to establish my practice was addressed by the team.
I am so grateful for this team of outstanding individuals for their professionalism, dedication & enthusiasm to see my practice come together the way it has.
I have no doubt that with the input of iMedprac my practice will go on to be well recognised and appreciated by many. Every individual brought forth expertise and knowledge that is essential for any new medical practice.
Well done to this incredible team.
I highly recommend them!!
