Dr Tarryn Jacobs

Most of my schooling years were spent at St. Mary’s DSG,Pretoria. I completed my undergraduate MBChB medical degree at the University of Pretoria in 2008. I obtained further experience in general and emergency medicine at Tshwane District and Steve Biko Academic Hospital.

I completed my registrar training at the University of Pretoria, qualifying as a specialist dermatologist and obtaining the Fellowship of the College of Dermatology with Cum Laude. I was honored to receive the prestigious Peter-Gordon-Smith Award for the specialist examination.I completed my MMED research looking at the quality of life of patients with blistering diseases, which was awarded second prize at the Dermatology for Africa Conference.

I consider providing dermatological care a privilege and strive to deliver patient-centered care. I enjoy a collaborative relationship with my patients- one where they are free to ask questions and no concern is too small to discuss. I believe in the power of prevention and I’m passionate about healthy skin, so I use each visit as an opportunity to teach and empower my patients.

Although I take pride in a very active professional life my greatest joy comes from my family. I love spending time with my husband, a local cardiologist, Dr Bradley Brits and our daughter. A dancer since early childhood to this day, I truly believe in having a healthy and active lifestyle outside work.
