Miles was born in the United Kingdom and immigrated at a young age to Australia. He grew up on the north shore of Sydney spending most of his weekends in the waters of the northern beaches. Miles had several pets both cat and dogs growing up.

In 1995 Miles finished his Science Degree at the University of Sydney, majoring in organic chemistry and marine science. He then travelled throughout Africa for year. In 1997 he completed organic chemistry honours and then transferred to Veterinary Science at the University of Sydney and graduated in 2002 with honours.

His first job was in mixed animal practice in Camden for 3 years where he enjoyed a “James Herriot” lifestyle and then moved in to Sydney where he locumed briefly. He then worked in Epping Veterinary clinic and Chatswood as a clinic manager. The next 5 years were spent as senior associate at Ku-Ring-Gai Vet Hospital and the following 3 years at Castle Hill Veterinary hospital also as senior associate.

Miles became the owner of Elanora Veterinary Hospital in February 2017 where he has been working happily since.

Miles is married to his lovely wife Kerri, and has two wonderful boys Morgan and Dashiel. He has two cats Bodhi and Phoenix and chickens. He enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, body-boarding, bushwalking, camping and 4 wheel driving.

Dr. Gail Carey BVSc (Hons)

Gail started up Elanora Veterinary Clinic in August 1990 and has enjoyed and appreciated the support of the local community. With work commitments, holidays have reduced in number but made up for in exotic locations: Antarctica (twice), the Arctic, Namibia and Botswana – all destinations to satisfy her love of wildlife and photography.

 

Her work interests are medicine, geriatrics and anything cat related.

 

In 2017 Gail sold the practice to Miles and now occasionally works part-time at the clinic.
