Meet Our Team

Dr Michael Smith - Principal Veterinarian

With over 25 years of experience, I still find immense joy in being a veterinarian. My focus is surgery, particularly orthopedic procedures such as cruciate repairs which i have completed clinical courses in for TPLO &TTA surgeries as well as luxating patella surgery in dogs. Addressing long-standing skin problems in dogs is another area I am passionate about. Witnessing animals transition from discomfort to normalcy is truly rewarding. I'm dedicated to staying current by attending conferences and Australian Veterinary Association events, always striving for excellence.

Beyond the clinic, I enjoy the beach with my children and playful pets, including rescue greyhound named Bella, a whippet puppy called Bluey (yes my daughter named him), a rescue cat names Beatrice, and my Bearded dragon, Blue Beard.
