Our Veterinary Staff


Our veterinary staff are extremely experienced. The average time since leaving university is an astonishing 20 years and with our 5.5 vets that gives us over 100 years of experience to call upon when your pet needs it most.

Unlike any other practice on the North Shore, all our full time veterinary staff have all obtained prestigious Membership to the Australian College of Veterinary Scientistsin a variety of fields including Surgery, Internal Medicine, Feline Medicine and Dentistry. All our full times vets are also members of the Australian Veterinary Association.

Veterinary continuing education is part of our practice policy. Each year, vets attend various conferences, bringing back to the practice a wealth of new updated knowledge to share amongst our team. These new protocols and treatment recommendations are discussed at our monthly vets' meeting.
