About
Dr. Van Niekerk earned her medical degree from Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California where she dedicated additional time to learn hands-on therapy through osteopathic manipulation. She completed a family medicine residency at University of California San Diego (UCSD) where she focused on procedural skills and took additional courses in integrative medicine. Throughout training she provided care for people without stable housing and for those with recent refugee status.
This training led to her work helping to open up a new primary care clinic for UCSD where she practiced family medicine including pediatrics, geriatrics, prenatal care and osteopathic manipulation and took additional courses in obesity medicine. Dr. Van Niekerk later relocated to Pennsylvania where she again helped to set up a new clinic, this time a merger between University of Pennsylvania Family Medicine and PHMC.
Dr. Van Niekerk has particular interests in quality improvement in primary care with the ultimate goal of best addressing the needs of a community. Her vision of her role as a physician is to partner with individuals to help break down barriers to reaching personal health goals.
