Dr Tina has been an animal lover for as long as she can remember! 🐾 From helping on her uncle’s hobby farm as a child, it was only natural that she found her way into veterinary medicine. After studying Agricultural Animal Science and Microbiology at Cal Poly Pomona, she moved to Sydney to complete her Bachelor of Veterinary Science in 2016. Since then, Dr Tina has worked across busy Sydney practices and happily calls General Practice home. She loves the variety of being a “family doctor” and has a particular passion for geriatric and palliative care, alongside soft tissue surgery, dentistry, pain management, anaesthesia and preventative medicine. She has also completed certification in Clinical Integrative Canine Rehabilitation, with additional training in dry needling and laser therapy. Outside the clinic, Dr Tina enjoys exploring, day walks, experimenting in the kitchen, and keeping busy with her trio of dogs. She’s also currently learning Mandarin, having previously studied Spanish and Cantonese! ✨
