About Our Reception Managers –Veronique & Lee-Anne
Lee-Anne De Vries, Dr Marike Ransome, Veronique Russo
These two ladies are the face of our practice and the heart of our team at The Family Doctor practice.
Veronique Russo is our front desk manager and joined our practice in August 2019.
She grew up in Plumstead Cape Town and matriculated from Plumstead High in 1992.During the next five years, she travelled throughout South Africa and into Namibia with a drama group performing in churches, schools, old age homes, prisons and army bases.
She returned to Cape Town and studied Management Assistance at Cape College. Since then she has worked for a Dentist and various Doctors. We are truly blessed to have her as part of our team at The Family Doctor Practice. A more dedicated, warm hearted, professional practice manager we would not be able to find.
Outside of work:
Veronique enjoys socialising with family and friends, reading, doing crossword puzzles and playing ‘tug of war’ with Lola, the family dog.
When asked, she said that The Family Doctor Practice truly encompasses its meaning. The doctors have a caring and passionate approach to their patients seldom seen in other practices. Our patients and us feel the same about her. A better team player we could not wish for.
Lee-Anne De Vries has been at the practice since January 2020 as our reception and manager assistant.
Lee-Anne grew up in Claremont, Cape Town and matriculated from Westerford High School. After seventeen years in the financial services sector in various roles including administration, management, marketing and sales, she left corporate life to start a home-based playgroup. This was a dream of hers, to enable her to spend more time with her three children. “Leeleepops” was a happy, amazing adventure that ran for thirteen years, closing at the end of 2020.
Outside of work:
Lee-Anne enjoys spending time with her family, walking with her little dog Rosie, reading and cooking. Her other passions are sewing and anything creative!
When asked Lee-Anne said “I absolutely love working at The Family Doctor. I feel privileged to be able to offer my support to our lovely doctors and patients, and am most thankful for this opportunity!”
We are incredibly blessed to have Lee-Anne as part of our team.
As Helen Keller once said, ” Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
