Central Veterinary Hospital Sandringham

 

MEET OUR VETS

Dr. Nicole Baker

MainPic

Nicole arrived in 1995 fresh out of university. Since then she has completed further study in Veterinary Internal Medicine, obtained a Graduate Diploma in Psychology and completed a Veterinary Acupuncture Certificate. Having fallen in love with the hospital and patients, she purchased the practice from Alan in 2007 when he was looking to reduce his workload.

Nicole lives with her husband, a very cheeky cat Jasper, and her two-legged children Sienna and Blake.

In December she had to farewell her sweet old boxer dog 'Ruby' who is greatly missed around the whole hospital. 



Dr. Alan Sherlock

MainPic

Alan arrived at the practice in 1973 for a '2-3 week temporary position'. Before he knew it he had bought the practice and has been here ever since. 

Alan is an active member of the veterinary community and regularly attends meetings, seminars, and assists with the Veterinary Association. Alan is also regularly involved in aspects of the Sandringham community and is passionate about the environment. 

He now calls himself 'semi-retired' and works about 12 hours per week to add his experience to those tricky cases (or is it to catch up on the gossip with clients?). When not at work you may often see him riding his bike along Beach Road!  



Dr Sue Chaney

MainPic

Sue has been with Central Veterinary Hospital since April 2008 and became a partner of the practice in September 2009. Sue graduated from the University of Melbourne in 1993, and obtained a Masters degree from Murdoch University in Small Animal Medicine and Surgery in 1999.  

She has three children (twins Kate and Thomas, 8, and Josh, 6), a 12 year old golden retriever, Charlotte, Mikey, a 2 year old cat brought into the clinic at just a few weeks old, and Corky, an 18 month old shihtzu.  

Sue doesn't have any interesting hobbies like paragliding or watching Norwegian films, but does enjoy time with the family, and occasionally Charlotte can be seen out on the bay swimming half a kilometre from the shore with her owner frantically waving her arms and shouting very loudly.
