Our Veterinarians
Dr. Thomas
Practice Owner
Dr. Thomas grew up on a farm in country Queensland where he developed a lifelong love for all animals, a strong work ethic and personal values. Thomas and his wife share their home their son, and Herbie the Bulldog who often pops out to say hello to clients and patients at reception.
After 26 years as a veterinarian, Thomas purchased the Berwick Veterinary Hospital in 2017 where he aims to bring continuous improvement and innovation to ensure our clients and their pets always receive the best possible care.
Dr. Tracy
Dr. Tracy knew from a young age that veterinary medicine was her calling – and she’s never looked back! After graduating from the University of Melbourne in 2010, she found her forever work-home at Berwick Veterinary Hospital in 2012.
While the job has its challenges (hello, wriggly patients and mystery cases!), Tracy finds every day incredibly rewarding. She has a soft spot for surgery—especially orthopaedics—but truly loves the whole vet package: meeting new faces (furry and human), problem-solving through diagnostics, hands-on treatment, and watching her patients bounce back in recovery.
A big believer in lifelong learning, Tracy is always sharpening her skills, seeking out new techniques, and staying on top of the latest in veterinary care.
At home, she’s kept on her toes by her two beloved fur-kids; a sassy tortoiseshell moggy who came for a short foster and never left, and Lester, her mischievous sable German Shepherd who keeps life interesting.
Dr. Candace
Candace joined the team in January 2017 as an Associate Veterinarian, graduating from The University of Melbourne in 2013. After 2 years in mixed practice in south-west
Victoria she returned to be closer to family and friends. She has an interest in small animal medicine and is especially interested in diabetes management.
Candace has two horses and two cats at home, with the newest addition to the household being a sweet little baby girl. In her spare time, she loves being with her family and riding her horses.
Dr. Susi
Dr Susi graduated from the University of Queensland as a Veterinarian with Honours. Susi began her career in a mixed practice in rural South Australia, then went on to spend several years at a busy 24-hour general, emergency and specialist veterinary hospital. Dr Susi joined our team in 2019.
Susi has a keen interest in diagnostic ultrasonography, internal medicine and abdominal surgery, and has a passion for ongoing professional development and best practice Veterinary care.
Susi has completed further study in the areas of internal medicine, diagnostic abdominal ultrasonography and Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS)
correction. Susi completed a two-year intensive course in small animal medicine, earning her GPCert (SAM) qualifications.
In her downtime, Susi enjoys making ceramics, yoga, hiking and reading. At home, she’s kept on her toes by her husband and their two big Greyhounds Pod and Pluto, who love getting their noses into everything and anything!
Dr. Isabelle
Isabelle graduated from the University of Melbourne and joined the BVH team in 2019 – and we’ve been lucky to have her ever since!
At home, she’s got her hands (and heart) full with her lovable pack;
Harley, the adorable Golden Retriever, Cooper, the overly enthusiastic Flat-Coated Retriever, and the newest recruit, Macintyre – a mischievous Golden Retriever puppy who keeps her life delightfully chaotic.
When she’s not at the clinic, Isabelle is either baking up something delicious (seriously, her skills are next level), getting crafty with sewing and embroidery, or casually running 18km on a Sunday like it’s no big deal (because apparently, she’s superhuman).
Smart, creative, and full of heart, Isabelle brings a whole lot of talent – and baked goods – to the BVH team!
Dr. Melanie
Mel graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2013 and spent over a decade honing her skills in a busy small animal clinic in Melbourne’s northern suburbs. After years of long commutes—and with two little ones at home—she decided it was time for a change. In May 2025, Mel joined our team, bringing with her a wealth of experience and a warm, down-to-earth approach that’s made her a perfect fit.
Mel has a keen interest in soft tissue surgery and dentistry, and she thrives on the variety and challenges that come with everyday general practice. She loves connecting with clients, getting to know their furry family members, and sharing a friendly chat along the way. Whether it’s a routine check-up or a complex case, Mel brings care, compassion, and a steady hand to every consult.
In her spare Mel enjoys spending time with her family, cooking, camping, jigsaw puzzles and going on walks.
Dr. Daniel
Daniel graduated from the University of Melbourne and joined our team in early 2025. He enjoys the variety and unpredictability of veterinary practice and has a broad range of clinical interests that continue to grow with experience.
At home, Daniel lives with a ginger cat named Margot—yes, she’s female, and yes, female ginger cats really are a little crazy.
Outside of work, Daniel loves spending time outdoors. His hobbies are ever-changing, but he’s currently into cycling, camping, and anything that involves being in the water.
