Practice Background
This practice was commenced by Dr John Vaughan approximately 49 years ago in Urunga Parade Miranda. In 1982, Dr. Bill McConnell joined him. In 1987 Dr Vaughan retired after many years dedicated to the health of patients from the Shire and beyond. The practice then moved to the red brick house at 516 Kingsway Miranda and Dr. Rod Tyrrell joined. In 1990 Dr. Jane Crossley moved from General Practice in Nowra and joined us here in the Shire. In 2003, after completing several locums here, Dr. Chris Boskovski joined.
In December 2007 the practice moved to the current larger and purpose-built surgery on the corner of the Kingsway and Central Road, Miranda. Many local people had known this location over many years as the Builders and Businessmen’s Club.
In late 2008, Dr. Leanne Corbett was welcomed to the team with her wide background in General Practice and hospital based surgical and gynaecological work. After an 18 month stay in the USA, Dr Yi Yi Chen joined us in November 2015, with experience in hospital work and inner city General Practice. In July 2017 Dr. Xiaoshuang (Lilly) Chen moved to join us from a busy GP role including obstetrics at Milton and Nowra on the South Coast .
The Practice is indeed lucky to have these highly qualified doctors with their wide and diverse experience.
In August 2019, we were sad to see the departure of greatly loved and respected Dr Debra Beswick. In 2001 Dr Beswick joined us from general practices in Melbourne and Cronulla. She made a wonderful and highly valued contribution to our practice over these many years. We wish her good health and happiness in her retirement on the North Coast of NSW.
