Dr Stephanie

graduated from the University of Queensland with honours in 2012. Since graduation she has worked in busy small animal hospitals in Cairns and Dubai.

Stephanie is always looking for ways to ensure that she is offering the highest standard of care to her patients, and her special interest areas are internal medicine and emergency. She understands that a vet visit can be an anxious time for some pets and their owners and believes that a gentle approach in a fear free and minimal stress environment is so important to provide the best care for your pet.

Outside of work she is kept busy looking after her 2 kids, her dog Lucy, and her cat Nimrod and when she gets any free time, she loves all things sport and travel.
