Established in the 1970’s, by Harold Gavin Golding, Golding’s has been synonymous with quality and excellence, servicing various communities irrespective of colour, creed or financial status. In 1978, Harold Golding employed his father, André Golding, also a qualified and highly experienced Orthotist/Prosthetist who had spent much time training and developing his skills in the then Red Cross Orthopaedic Laboratory in Cape Town. After several successful tenders to serve the government hospitals for the neighbouring homeland of the then Bophuthatswana, the practice grew and developed rapidly and within a few years had expanded to include the custom manufacture and supply of calipers, artificial limbs, wheelchairs and crutches. Before long, expansion into the greater Gauteng and KZN areas followed.

The father-son team soon identified the need for an Orthotics/Prosthetics service provider within the private sector and set about establishing themselves in this arena. Creating and building on a proud tradition of service excellence, they lead the way with new and advanced technologies and machinery imported from Europe’s leading suppliers. Always developing and honing his skills in the field of Orthotics and Prosthetics, Harold Golding was invited by a leading European manufacturer to attend specialized training in the development and creation of automated prosthetics. Being one of the first Orthotists/Prosthetists in South Africa to be trained in the application of electronic prosthetics. A recognised member of several local and international associations among them the American Association of Orthotists & Prosthetists, and the Association of Orthotists & Prosthetists In Private Practice (South Africa), Harold Gavin Golding was highly respected in the industry and his legacy of excellence and professionalism will continue unabated. Harold Gavin Golding passed away in 2003.

From the early dates of the father-son duo in 1978 to the current compliment of 22 staff we have today, Golding’s has always endeavoured to lead and not follow. We currently have four qualified Orthotists/Prosthetists and several assistants servicing 9 branches in Gauteng. Golding’s Orthopaedic Centre will continue to do its utmost to provide the best service possible to the communities we serve as we have done for the last 30 years.
