About Dr Joubert

Focused expertise, grounded in careful listening.

“Your health concerns extend beyond routine medical care. My role is to understand the full picture and help you make an informed decision.”

I am a spinal neurosurgeon providing comprehensive evaluation and treatment for patients with spinal problems, including neck pain with or without arm symptoms or spinal cord compression, and low back pain with or without symptoms radiating into the legs.

Since 2013, my practice has focused on spinal degenerative disorders and on helping patients understand both non-surgical and surgical treatment options. I also completed a BSc in Applied Mathematics and Physics at Unisa in 2024, reflecting a long-standing interest in analytical problem-solving.
