About Us
Surf Beach Surgery in Batemans Bay was started by Dr Graham Anderson and has been caring for patients for roughly 20 years. Dr Langley and Dr Nelson took over in 2012, and since then have grown the practice to include practice nursing staff, a wonderful reception team and on site pathology.
We have a strong team ethic, and all doctors happily care for each others patients if the preferred doctor is not available. Our nurses help greatly with managing chronic medical conditions, performing Health Assessments, wound care and immunisations.
General Practice Education
Surf Beach Surgery is committed to training our new generation of doctors. We regularly teach medical students from the ANU and when they are present you will be asked for permission for them to observe your consultation - please feel fee to decline if you wish.
​
We often also have GP Registrars. Registrars are fully qualified doctors who are undertaking further study in the area of General Practice. They are a very valuable part of our team and regularly teach us older doctors new tricks!
