Meet the Point Vet team

Veterinarian

Dr Carla moved to the Gold Coast in 2020 from South Australia to join our team. She graduated from the University of Adelaide in 2017, into her dream job of being a Veterinarian. Carla found her passion for animals and especially cats after working as a kennel hand in vet clinics for over eight years throughout vet school. Dr Carla is without a doubt our resident cat lover. She has a Domestic Short hair, Teddy, who she absolutely adores.

Veterinarian

Dr Ben graduated from James Cook University with a Bachelor Veterinary Science in 2021. He has joined our team after making the decision to leave Brisbane and relocate to the GC. Excited to take a step into general practice with us after a busy and night shift filled year at Queensland Veterinary Specialist. Moving from an emergency and trauma response hospital, meeting the many happy pups of Paradise Point has been refreshing!

Veterinarian

Loving all things four-legged (and the rest of the animal kingdom), and with a megawatt smiDe, r Brydee comes to us with plenty of knowledge and experience under her belt working at the specialist centre in medicine and in general practice for six years. And she’s got a few fur-pals of her own at home, Pippa a Border Collie, 9, and George a seven-month old Golden Retriever she inherited from a client who couldn’t take care of him.

Veterinarian

Dr Martika joined our growing team of vets in 2020. She grew up in Paradise Point and her parents were clients of Dr Johns whilst she was off studying away at University! Martika has an adorable Cavoodle called "Poppy." She enjoys mountain bike riding and anything outdoorsy!

She has an undeniable passion for animal care and well being, we knew we had to keep her!

Practice Manager

Our bright and bubbly Practice Manager, Teagan, moved up from Sydney, where she had previously worked as head nurse at a busy practice before relocating to the Coast.

Beginning her vet nursing career in 2018, Teagan has a love for all animals big and small and has an ex-racehorse named ‘Bright Future’ who moved up here with her and a boisterous ex-assistance chocolate lab named Lola.

Head Nurse

Natalia began her career in Veterinary Nursing over nine years ago. Having been in the industry for so long she has an abundance of knowledge in all things pet care and a passion for surgical nursing and post-operative care.

Natalia is an integral part of our team and provides only the best care for your pets.

Senior Veterinary Nurse

Summah started volunteering with us in 2014, where she discovered her passion for animal care. She went on to complete her Certificate IV Veterinary Nursing in 2017 and is an effervescent part of our team.

Summah has a keen interest in Australian wildlife and rehabilitation…she will often care for injured lorikeets, pigeons, frogs, lizards…the list goes on. Summah has a GSP called “Franklin.”

Veterinary Nurse

Nurse Mary came to us in 2020 after moving to the area from Kingscliff.

Mary is an absolute Staffy lover, having two of her own who keep her very busy, Sasha and Milly.

Mary has been a wonderful addition to our team, her calm and easy going energy is just what we need during the chaos!

Veterinary Nurse

Kara has been vet nursing for 13 years, in everything from shelters to GP, emergency and icu/medicine/surgery specialists.

Her favourite part of the day is when she’s been nursing a patient who came into the clinic very unwell. ‘You get to see their improvements and go home a happy eating patient again.’

Kara has a beautiful best friend, her Rottweiler, ‘Honey’ who she rescued when she was nine months old.

Receptionist

Kyla started with us back in 2014 when she was still in high school. She is currently studying Biomedical Science with the hopes to one day become a surgeon… one smart cookie! Kyla has a cat named Moet and Nala, a rescue Kelpie x.

Kyla is a bright and bubbly face who loves to meet and greet all the fur friendies who visit us.

Veterinary Nurse

Our sweet and good-humoured Nurse Kera came to us fresh off the boat from Kiwiland. She’s been nursing over four years and says her favourite part of the job is, ‘seeing our sick surgery or hospital patients be able to leave the clinic back to their families feeling better because of something we did’.

Kera has her own sweet lil Frug (a Frenchie Pug) named Luke, who’s back in New Zealand and often looks after her sister’s Golden Retrievers.

Client Care Coordinator

Meet Melise, our Client Care Coordinator. She will be the familiar face you meet at reception ensuring your visits with us are always nothing less than a 5 star experience. Melise is a Qualified Veterinary Nurse who decided her strong point was working closely with pet owners. She has her very own 1 year old Golden Retriever called "Winnie" and a 3 month old English Staffy called "Louie," who as you can imagine are keeping her very busy!

Veterinary Nurse

Kaycee grew up in a small country town called Kingaroy and moved to the GC after high school with aspirations to end up in vet nursing. She worked at Australia zoo for a while before going on to complete her studies while working with our team and has been a part of our Point Vet family ever since. She always wanted to help animals and be a voice for them and has a boy moodle named Peanut.

Veterinary Nurse

Before she crossed the Tasman, Kiwi Kelly worked in GP clinics, as well as at the SPCA and boarding kennels for five years, before moving to the Gold Coast in 2016. She worked in GP clinics, before she found her home with us and discovered her true passion for emergency and surgery and achieving the best outcome for our fur patients.
She loves our busy little clinic and is always trying to further her knowledge and education. She has a three-legged rescue staffy at home named Louie.
