What an epic couple of days! While I’ve had a superstar nurse with me, I’ve only had one nurse during fully booked days. That means I am doing my job plus helping my nurse. Because my nurse is trying to do 3 peoples jobs. This unfortunately is far too common a situation and leads to burn out. I certainly hope the next person knows what they’re in for. I am grateful for the other clinic I work at, even though it’s an hour drive away, I am fully supported with a team of 4 nurses and fully booked days feel so much lighter.

Oh hi 👋 catch me at Nelson Bay on Thursday’s. Cuddles with Simba are free

A very warm welcome to Dr. Tara!

Dr Tara comes to us with a wealth of experience in both general practice and emergency medicine.

Tara enjoys the variety and problem-solving that veterinary medicine offers and is passionate about providing compassionate, practical care tailored to both her patients and their owners.

Outside of work, you may spot her on a run with her Australian Shepherd, Geoffrey, planning her next travel adventure, or seeking out great food and live music. Dr. Tara also shares her life with Suzi, an 18-year-old cat with dementia, and two goat-shaped lawn mowers named Herb and Basil 🐐🐐

Dr. Tara is available for consultations on Thursdays.

Having our pets in clinic can often be an enormous stress reliever. Especially in between stressful situations. Not everyone one is lucky to have a healthy pet, so take some time to hug yours and pay the cheese tax 🧀
