About Pretoria Health
Meet Our Doctors
Two experienced general practitioners offering comprehensive, compassionate healthcare from our Rietondale rooms — Dr Michelle Murray and Dr Xopa.
Dr Michelle Murray
MBChB · DOH&M — University of Pretoria · General Medical Practitioner
Healthcare is about more than treating symptoms. It is about listening, understanding, and helping people make informed decisions about their health. Dr Michelle Murray approaches every patient interaction with this philosophy in mind — combining medical knowledge with a strong commitment to ethical, compassionate care.
Dr Murray obtained her medical degree (MBChB) and a Diploma in Occupational Health & Medicine from the University of Pretoria. Her career has also included valuable international experience working in hospitals in the United Kingdom, broadening her clinical perspective and strengthening her ability to care for patients from diverse backgrounds.
With more than two decades of medical experience, she has worked across general practice, occupational health, emergency medicine, and hospital-based care. She has extensive experience within the mining industry, where she played an important role in promoting workplace health and safety — particularly in advancing policies that supported the wellbeing of pregnant employees and their safe return to work.
Today, her primary medical interests lie in general practice, with a particular focus on women's health, paediatrics, preventative care, and minor medical procedures.
