Dr. Esterhuizen completed her PhD thesis entitled, Evaluation of Gamete Dysfunction as a Cause of Failed Human in Vitro Fertilization in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Stellenbosch University, South Africa in 2000. Through the years she became a specialist in male diagnostic testing and as a result has improved the management of infertile males in various reproductive units. Her studies and the outcome thereof have been referenced in several national and international presentations by her colleagues (Belgium, India and The Sudan). Her studies have been published in several internationally recognized peer journals such as: Andrologia, Journal of Assisted Reproductive Genetics, Human Reproduction, Molecular Andrology and the Journal of in Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer.

She was one of the team members who performed the first oocyte cryopreservation in South Africa in 2008 which consequently resulted in a live birth. She developed and employed several sperm tests which are used by pathology laboratories and private IVF practices in South Africa as part of routine semen analysis and for additional diagnostic testing.
