He and his wife Desiree own Pfeffer Medical Services.

His special interests include paediatrics / child health,   dermatology / skin problems, allergies and respiratory health, the management of diabetes and the care of adults and the elderly with multiple health problems.

Dr Pfeffer has always loved children  and children seem to sense this—or maybe it is the lolly jar that helps!  Dr Pfeffer is fluent in German and Afrikaans—being of Austrian extraction but born, educated and receiving his training as a doctor in South Africa.

Dr Pfeffer has completed the management of severe trauma  EMST and ACC PRIME courses and received training in plastic surgical techniques for minor skin surgery.
