Dr. Tracy
Dr. Tracy graduated from the University of Melbourne in 2010 and joined the Berwick Veterinary Hospital in 2012. Tracy has always wanted to be a veterinarian and could not imagine doing anything else.
While being a veterinarian can be challenging at times, Tracy finds it extremely rewarding. She has a keen interest in surgery, particularly orthopaedics, but enjoys all aspects of the job from seeing patients, to diagnostics, treatment and aftercare. With a strong passion for continuing education, Tracy is always striving to be the best she can be. She loves challenging herself and learning new things. Recently, she commenced her acupuncture course to provide an adjunctive therapy to what we already have available for our furry friends.
Tracy has two furry children of her own – Mao, a ginger moggy who was adopted as a stray, and Savannah, a 4-year old white German Shepherd. Mao has been a true vet’s pet having been treated for eye ulcers, cat flu, a lump on the back of his throat and an overactive thyroid. While Savannah can be overexcitable she provides Tracy with lots of love and attention.
