Dr Paul Scholtz

Dr. Paul Scholtz is a specialist radiologist and partner at Morton & Partners with a deep interest in abdominal and pelvic imaging. He completed his medical degree at the University of Cape Town in 2004, followed by internship at Tygerberg Hospital and community service at Khayelitsha Site B and Mowbray Maternity Hospital. These early experiences helped shape his resilience and innovative approach to healthcare in resource-limited environments.

In 2007, Dr. Scholtz joined the Division of Radiology at Groote Schuur Hospital, where he contributed to the development of essential imaging services including cardiac CT and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). His passion for advanced abdominal imaging led him to pursue a Fellowship in Abdominal Imaging at the University of Toronto, where he trained at leading institutions such as Toronto General, Toronto Western, Princess Margaret, and Mount Sinai Hospitals.

In 2023, Dr. Scholtz completed the Lung Cancer Screening course from the American College of Radiology and was elected Chairperson of the Oncology Imaging Society of South Africa. In 2025, he became the first radiologist in Africa to be awarded the ESGAR Diploma in Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (EDGAR) — an internationally recognised accreditation that highlights his expertise and leadership in abdominal imaging.

Dr. Scholtz continues to advance the field through research, academic contributions, and professional mentorship, reinforcing his role as a thought leader in gastrointestinal and oncologic imaging.
