Our Veterinarians
Alphington & Fairfield Vet
Dr Louise Pierce
Veterinarian
Louise has an obsession with all things rabbit! From her pictures around the house to the ridiculous phone cover she carts around, her world revolves around these long eared creatures. That being said she has got a keen interest in other unusual pets and has been seen treating anything from lizards to cows in her time. She shares her home with a small rabbit army, two dogs, a cat and one duck. In her spare time she loves getting out in the garden and spending time on her nanna crafts.
The official stuff
Louise graduated from Melbourne University in 2010. Since graduation Louise has worked in numerous practices in both Melbourne and rural Victoria and has developed a professional interest in rabbit and exotic medicine. She provides both first and second opinions on unusual and exotic pets and loves learning about the latest and greatest updates in the field. She has also completed a two year course in small animal medicine

In three words, Louise is: Enthusiastic, compassionate and rabbit-crazy
Dr Stacy Tay
Veterinarian

Dr Tina Knight
Veterinarian
Tina loves dogs and cats but has always had a special interest in those animals feathered, scaly and the other small furries. She has spent the last 15 years working in small animal practice in North Queensland, Sydney and over 10 years at the University of Melbourne. Tina has been lucky enough to get to play with and treat a diverse array of animals from cockatoos and chickens to rabbits, seals, snakes, turtles, and even a crocodile. She is a member of the Australian College of Veterinary Surgeons in small animal medicine and has completed further studies in avian medicine. She spends her time away from work wrangling 2 small children, a lovely elderly mastiff cross and a crazy eclectus parrot.

Dr Mark Matthews
