Dr Marcelle Smith is a neurologist in Johannesburg, with rooms at Mediclinic Sandton in Bryanston. She practises across two hospitals, which is worth knowing when you are told to attend an appointment or an admission at short notice.
Official contact channels
- Rooms: 010 549 1267. Mediclinic prints the number twice on the profile; it is the same number repeated, not a second line, and there is no fax listed.
- No email address is published on the Mediclinic profile. The rooms telephone is the published route.
- Mediclinic emergency number: 084 124, for emergencies only.
Neurology is a referral speciality and appointments are usually booked well ahead. Say clearly when you phone if the problem is new weakness, new numbness, a first seizure or a sudden severe headache, because those are triaged differently from a routine review.
What this organisation provides
- Neurology – the diagnosis and medical management of disorders of the brain, spinal cord, nerves and muscles.
- Typical scope includes epilepsy and seizures, headache and migraine, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, stroke and its aftercare, peripheral neuropathy, and muscle and nerve disease.
- Neurologists treat medically. Where an operation is needed – a tumour, a bleed, or spinal cord compression – the referral goes to a neurosurgeon, which is a separate speciality.
- Qualifications published by Mediclinic: MBChB, University of Stellenbosch, 2008; FC Neurol (SA), Colleges of Medicine, 2015.
Sudden face droop, arm weakness or speech difficulty is a stroke until proven otherwise. Call an ambulance on 10177, or 112 from a mobile phone, and go to an emergency unit. Stroke treatment is time-critical and a rooms appointment is the wrong route.
Address and operating information
- Suite 102, South Block Extension, Mediclinic Sandton, corner Peter Place and Main Road, Bryanston, 2021. The postal address is the same as the street address.
- Practises at Mediclinic Sandton and at the Wits University Donald Gordon Medical Centre in Parktown. Confirm which site your appointment or admission is at – they are roughly 20km apart across Johannesburg.
- Consulting hours are not published. Specialist rooms run by appointment during weekday business hours.
- HPCSA registration number: MP0711187
- Practice number: 0200000641065, which your medical scheme needs for claims.
Support and escalation routes
- Bring the imaging itself. For neurology the MRI or CT images matter more than the radiologist’s report, and for suspected epilepsy an eyewitness description of the episode is often more diagnostic than any test.
- Several neurological conditions are Prescribed Minimum Benefits on the chronic disease list, including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease, which a scheme must fund even when day-to-day benefits are exhausted, subject to protocols and designated providers.
- Complaints about professional conduct or standard of care go to the Health Professions Council of South Africa on 012 389 9300. Scheme disputes and PMB refusals go to the Council for Medical Schemes after the scheme’s own appeal.
