Dr. Gail Carey BVSc (Hons)
Work Days – Tuesday and Saturday
Gail grew up in Northmead, always having a family pet dog & cat. After finishing a Science degree majoring in Zoology, she graduated with a BVSc (Hons) in January 1980.
Her first full time job was in a mixed practice in Wagga Wagga, then in North Parramatta, before travelling to England in November 1981. She worked mainly in a small animal clinic in Beckenham, Kent, in order to finance her many overseas adventures which included many Western European countries, Scandinavia, Iceland and an 8 month overland trip from London to Capetown.
Returning to Sydney in Nov 1984, she worked briefly in Blacktown and the Blue Mountains area, before accepting a position at Avalon Beach.
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.
Gail has recently sold the practice to Miles and works part-time at the clinic now. She will have more time to spend with her cats at home and plan her next exotic holiday.
