Meet Our Vets

Dr Lindsay Hay

BVSc MVS MANZCVS

Lindsay graduated from Sydney University in 1974 and has been our senior veterinarian since he became a partner in the practice in 1985. He is responsible for the day to day management of the practice and is an all-rounder with interests in both surgery and medicine and loves talking to people in the consulting room. He has a Master of Veterinary Studies from Murdoch University and is a member of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in surgery. Lindsay has twice been honoured as Small Animal Practitioner of the Year by the ASAV.

Away from work Lindsay is a lifelong “gym junkie” and loves the theatre and food {both preparing and eating!) He and Liz are the proud parents of three and grandparents of nine. They currently share their home with a very active Border Collie named Yeshe.

Dr Lisa Fogarty

BVSc

Lisa joined us straight from Sydney University in 2001 with a First Class Honours degree and has been part of our team ever since. She spends most of her time as a consulting veterinarian and is particularly interested in solving challenging medical cases.

Lisa has lived locally all her life. Away from work she and Steve’s lives are fully occupied with their three school aged children.

Dr Gunilla McPherson

BVSc

Gunilla graduated from Sydney University and started her veterinary career in equine practice both here and in the UK but “saw the light” ten years ago and has worked in small animal practice ever since. She joined us as an experienced consulting vet at the beginning of 2023 working three days a week. Away from work she volunteers for the SES in a managerial support role.

Dr Murray Caisley

BVSc

Murray joined the practice as a full time vet when he graduated from Sydney University in 1987 and has been with us ever since as a key member of our team. He is also an all-rounder interested in managing both complex medical and surgery cases.

Murray has two grown up kids and is a “sports nut” with a special interest in the Cronulla Sharks. He has just become the pet parent of a cute Staffy cross puppy.

Dr Valerie See

BVSc

Valerie joined the practice initially to cover Lisa’s first maternity leave 12 years ago and came back to work with us soon after. Valerie is a Sydney University graduate whose first degree was in Singapore where she grew up. You will see her mostly in the consulting room. She lives with a menagerie including a small flock of hens on fringe local acres.

Dr Lucy Blair

Veterinarian

Dr Ryan Chau

DVM

Ryan grew up and went to school locally and while a student of Sydney University spent time with us in 2023 as a final year intern. He fitted in so well that we were able to convince him to join us as a full time veterinarian when he graduated. He has quickly become an important member of our team and brings the latest in veterinary education and enthusiasm to support what we do.
