New patients — please complete intake before your first visit
True health is far more than the absence of illness — it is the cultivated resilience to recover from setbacks, adapt to life's challenges, and sustain long‑term well‑being. Our proactive approach focuses on three core pillars.
Using clinical data and evidence‑based approaches, we tailor each patient's treatment plan to uniquely optimise health and prevent disease.
We empower patients with knowledge — fostering a collaborative, transparent relationship that ensures effective follow‑up and long‑term well‑being.
Medicine works best when supported by lifestyle infrastructure — we actively prioritise sleep, nutrition, stress reduction, and movement.
The Resilient Synergy difference is combining the absolute latest clinical evidence with an intuitive, deep understanding of our patients' unique needs — creating a true healthcare partnership that drives better outcomes.
A comprehensive suite of medical services supporting your family's health at every stage of life — built around continuity of care, not transactions.
Resilient Synergy is a small, deliberately chosen team — every member shares the same philosophy: treat every patient as an extended family member.
Dr. Naidu has spent over two decades blending cutting‑edge clinical science with compassionate patient care. After graduating from the University of Cape Town in 2002, he earned postgraduate diplomas in Advanced HIV Treatment & Care and Child Health & Paediatrics, followed by a Master of Science in Epidemiology from the prestigious London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
His distinguished early career focused deeply on paediatric HIV care and vertical transmission prevention research. He went on to lead rural HIV and infectious‑disease treatment programs across KwaZulu‑Natal, overseeing vital clinical research and data management before directing strategic clinical operations across both KZN and the Eastern Cape.
In 2019, driven by a dedication to family and a deep passion for serving his local community, Dr. Naidu intentionally transitioned from large‑scale clinical epidemiology to private family practice, establishing Resilient Synergy within Musgrave, Durban.
A robust clinical foundation built within high‑volume public sector hospitals during medical internship and community service — extensive experience in emergency medicine, chronic disease, maternal and child health, and HIV/TB services.
Trained closely under Dr. Naidu's direct mentorship, Dr. Hassim has seamlessly aligned her clinical approach with the practice's exceptional standards. Long‑standing patients experience the exact same continuity of trust, thoroughness and high‑quality care — and she lives the Resilient Synergy philosophy of treating every patient as an extended family member.
Anchors the clinic's front‑of‑house with exceptional warmth and professionalism — daily administrative workflows, patient billing, phone communication, and complex medical aid queries handled with grace.
Driven by deep passion for patient care, Irene excels at maintaining a calm, reassuring presence. True to Resilient Synergy's philosophy, she sees the practice and its patients as an extended family — everyone who walks through the door feels instantly welcomed, comfortable, and valued.
Over seven years of specialised experience in healthcare administration. Known for sharp organisational skills and professionalism, Makhosi expertly manages patient registration workflows, medical aid liaisons, and invoicing with absolute precision.
Adept at multitasking in a fast‑paced environment, she seamlessly balances technical accuracy with top‑tier customer service — keeping the practice running like clockwork.
A beloved cornerstone of the team since 2019. Busi's vital role goes far beyond keeping the clinical environment pristine and fresh every day — she is the heartbeat of our waiting room.
With an innate gift for personal connection, she brings immense joy to patients of all ages. Sharing jokes and listening to elderly patients while they wait; singing, laughing, and gently playing with crawling toddlers — her warmth ensures every generation of the Resilient Synergy family feels entirely at home.
