Testimonials
Dr Tze Wei Phang – RACGP Registrar
“I am very fortunate to have started off my GP training on the right foot at Monaro Medical Practice. My supervisor Dr Domonic Manassa is extremely knowledgeable, having an extensive hospitalist general medicine background prior to entering general practice. He is always reachable and approachable for helpful advice and is very supportive of my learning, guiding me on the right path while allowing me to grow into my own style of managing patients without being overbearing. I have also been very well looked after by the amazing practice manager Stefanie who was always very accommodating and working hard in the background to ensure smooth operations and always having my best interest in mind which I really appreciate.
I also got taught to perform skin excisions since my first month at the practice which has been very valuable for my professional development towards my special interest in skin so early. Choosing to join Monaro Medical Practice for your GP training will be a very smart career choice, where the healthcare is focused on the doctors as well!”
Natalie - Australian National University Medical Student
“Being the first student at Monaro Medical Practice was such a rewarding experience. From the start, everyone made me feel like part of the team, and I really appreciated how much time the doctors and nurses took to teach and involve me in patient care. The practice’s warmth and genuine support stood out.
I originally wasn’t sure whether general practice was the right path for me, but my time at Monaro helped me realise how much I enjoy it. The experience strengthened my clinical reasoning and communication skills and showed me what good patient-centred care looks like in practice.”
Dr Joshua Ghaly – RACGP Registrar
“Monaro Medical practice is modern and efficient. It’s a real team environment most importantly a professional, respectful and courteous work place.
On a more personal level working here allows me to grow as a medical practitioner, not fall victim to time wasting inefficient practice and because the practical, professional and personal approaches are so well balanced it’s a place I feel every morning happy to being heading too.”
