When you walk into our Ormond Neuroscience office, it is Yonela’s friendly face that will greet you. She is our Office Manager and is as efficient as a hive of worker bees, directing you through the relevant processes required upon your arrival. She is the right hand to our Practice Manager and the Left Hand to our entire team of medical professionals. Her efficient, calm competence and her reassuring warmth is what makes her the perfect first encounter in our practice.

Yonela is full of interesting talents and surprises. She graduated from the University of Cape Town with a degree in Film and Media Production in 2020. This is why she has recently taken on the role of elevating our social media presence and helping grow our community’s awareness of Ormond Neuroscience’s unique service offerings.

She joined Ormond Neuroscience in July 2022 and is an essential component of our efficiency and success. Medical professionals and patients have come to appreciate her expedience, friendly professionalism and endless willingness to help.

When she is not coordinating myriad challenges that land on her desk at our practice each day, she is a deeply family orientated person, the mother of a young daughter and happens to possess a beautiful singing voice. It is this voice that you may hear answering our phone. When opportunity arises, her home is in the beautiful Eastern Cape where she enjoys memorable gatherings with her family, friends and community.
