Weereens baie dankie wat jy vir my gedoen het van dag een af, en hierdie beteken nie die einde nie, ek het ook n nuwe vriendskap gemaak met jou en sal nou en dan in pop net om jou tekom wys wat is nuut op Google. Maar nee regtig, jy is nou stuck met my as my prosthetic dude, for life brother.

Jaco, dankie vir die mooi boodskap en dankie wat jy sover vir my gedoen het. Sonder jou kennis en professionele skills sou ek nie gewees het waar ek vandag is nie, en natuurlik you geduld met my ook.

Ek is baie bly ek het by jou opgeeindig.

Alfred Boehme

Thanks to their skill, care, and support, I can work a full 9-hour day to provide for my family and still enjoy 5 hours of quality time with them afterwards. As part of the DBKA Team, Deist gives me the freedom to live my life as any healthy person would. Their exceptional long-distance support and efficient service, when I need parts, have been truly invaluable. Jaco and Team Deist, thank you for being part of our family.

Thembi Maphanga

Thank you for being you and being amazing and for being my best orthotist!

Cardoso

Dit is ons tweede lopie met ‘n nuwe fitting. Anders as ons eerste lopie was die administrasie stil-stil deur die praktyk gehanteer en die volgende oomblik het ons medies die aansoek goedgekeur. Die nuwe been lyk baie professioneel en netjies. Die praktyk het my verbaas met hulle vinnige prossessering van versoeke. My man het al ‘n seer van die vorige fitting, maar Jaco het nie vir dit geskrik nie, dieselfde dag het hy werk daarvan gemaak.

Jaco, ons waardeer jou lojaliteit teenoor jou beroep en pasiente!

Lucinda Nolin

Sjoe om te lees wat jy gesê het en die video het my hoendervleis gegee partykeer voel dit so unreal. Ek het Saterdag vir die eerste keer saam my gesin uit gegaan vir die dag en kon hand aan hand saam met Jaco en my dogtertjies loop. Dit het amazing gevoel, ek het vir so lank uit gemis op so baie en nou maak ek op. Te danke aan jou, dit is bedoel vir my om die jaar goed te begin.

Verlede jaar het ek baie moed verloor, maar alles gebeur met ‘n doel!

Silas Mesolo

Erik Makondo

Good Morning Jaco, After I Lost my left leg and had below Knee amputation, my experience with prosthetics has been an uphill battle with a heavy ancient leg with discomfort and instability. I thought that I would never walk comfortably until I met Jaco.

First was the battle with my medical aid, and then all was sorted with the help of Jaco’s team. With Jaco’s knowledge and skills, he went the extra mile to recommend the light and full of energy Leg. This was attributed to the fact that Jaco takes enormous care in the work. His attention to detail, his craftsmanship, and his pride in the appearance of the finished product.

Finally, his professionalism in dealing with me, his warm personality, and his engaging smile enhanced the overall experience. I now have a light and energetic leg that keep me walking, working, and in no pain. Thank you very much.

Chantel, thank you so much for this amazing video you made me! It absolutely means the world to me and it brings me so much joy to know that you are happy and able to feel like a “woman” again!
Thank you so much!!

Tinus Koekemoer

My ligaments were badly torn when I was 23 years of age. As a result, I underwent a few operations. While healing with a cast on my leg I got thrombosis. This led to me developing issues with blood circulation.
As time went on, this led to my muscles collapsing and experiencing extreme amounts of pain.

In December 2018 I went to see a specialist who advised that I have an amputation. On the 18th of January 2019, I received an amputation.
After 10 months I received my first prosthetic and in December 2019, I was able to start driving!

However, between 2021 and 2022 I started to struggle with my prosthetic, and in January of 2023, one of Jaco Diest’s patients referred me to him.
The customer service and the help I received was outstanding!

On the 28th of February 2023, I had an appointment with Jaco Diest for 10:00 in the morning. By 14:30 I already had my new prosthetic fitted!
Thank you, Jaco, I will always be grateful to you and refer anyone to your practice!

Christa Du Toit – A Wonderful Testimonial

We received the next testimonial from Christa via WhatsApp after her consultation with us and we are so excited to see that she is doing so well!
Immediately After Consultation

Dr Deist, baie dankie, ons is veilig in Delmas.  Dankie vir die ongelooflike ervaring.  Die been sit nog steeds soos ‘n droom, gewoontlik druk hy my so as ek bestuur, en ek het hierdie keer niks gevoel nie.

A While After Consultation
Die been sit soos ‘n droom, en ek het hom eers laasnag half 12 afgehaal. Ek het gister baie meer geloop as in ‘n baie lang tyd.

A Few Months After Consultation
Ek sal nooit ooit vir jou genoeg kan dankie sê nie, die been is net een groot plesier.  Ek het vandag die heeldag by die werk sonder krukke geloop. Skeef en krom maar gemaklik. Dit voel nie eers naastenby soos my vorige been nie. Vreeeeeeeeeeeeeslik baie dankie!

Jabulani Matshiyane

Jaco, I would like to let you know that my new prosthetic leg is very comfortable. It is a huge improvement as the other prosthetic leg I was wearing was not a perfect fit. I had a wonderful December holiday thanks to you and your team.

I had my first appointment with you in November last year and you managed to complete my prosthetic on the very same day.
Thank you very much Jaco!!

Phelisa Loleka

Thank you so much Jaco for making it possible for me to walk like this, I really don’t know how to thank you. This is the most incredible thing that has ever happened to me. You are the best!!
