Life gets busy.

Appointments get pushed.
Symptoms get ignored.
“Later” turns into months.

But your health isn’t something to squeeze in when there’s time.
It’s worth making time for.

Colds. Flu. Most sore throats.

These are usually caused by viruses, not bacteria — which means antibiotics won’t help.

Using antibiotics when they’re not needed can:
• cause side effects
• make future infections harder to treat
• contribute to antibiotic resistance

At The Surgery at Jerra, we’ll always recommend what’s right for you — not just what feels like a quick fix.

Sometimes that means rest, fluids, and time.

👉 Not sure if you need antibiotics? Come and have a chat.

A 21-year-old patient came in with a painful 𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒕𝒐𝒆𝒏𝒂𝒊𝒍.

Dr Anita Dey performed a partial nail removal to relieve the pressure and get things healing properly.

A full house — with the patient’s permission.
Dr Nicole Schmocker assisted, learning a few tricks of the trade, our ANU medical student Mandy observed, and Nurse Kenzie supported with assisting and wound care.

All part of what we do — hands-on learning, teamwork, and high-quality patient care.

Real general practice. Real medicine.

Trying to figure things out on your own can feel overwhelming.

Google can help… but it can also make things more confusing.

You don’t have to second-guess it or carry it on your own.
That’s what we’re here for.

“𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒂𝒇𝒆 𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒐𝒎𝒆?”

This question can feel unexpected.

Sometimes even confronting.

But safety affects health more than people realise.

Stress, poor sleep, chronic pain, anxiety, blood pressure, even diabetes control can all be affected by what’s happening at home.

We ask because your wellbeing isn’t just physical.

If something isn’t right, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

That’s part of general practice too.

Reception Manager Emilia: “I’m sure it’s in here somewhere.”

Also Emilia: fully commits.

Before anyone panics, this is our secure waste bin and yes, it’s clean.
No documents were harmed in the making of this search… only dignity.

At TSAJ, we go above and beyond for our patients.
Sometimes… literally into the bin.
