Adam began as a newly graduated vet at the Mornington Vet Clinic in 2003, back when the clinic was on Main Street. After five years of appreciating the benefits of a family-run clinic and the opportunities for personal connection with clients and patients that it allows, Adam bought the clinic in 2008 with the aim of continuing this level of service and care. Adam has a special interest in orthopaedic cases and regularly performs TPLOs and ECRs for patients with cruciate injuries.

Adam’s Italian greyhound Henry and kelpie Jet often join us at the clinic.

We invited new graduate James to join our team after completing several weeks of placement with us throughout his final year of veterinary medicine in 2022. James has a keen interest in surgery, particularly orthopaedics, and is looking forward to further developing his skills under the guidance of Dr. Adam.

On his days off James loves playing golf, surfing, and spending time with his golden retriever Ted.

A life-long love of cats led Maggie to a part-time job at a vet clinic and cattery in Auckland, New Zealand – fourteen years of nursing and clinic experience and a move across the Tasman later, she manages the day-to-day running of our clinic and has been with the Mornington Vet Clinic since 2017. Valued clients, healthy pets, and a fulfilled and happy veterinary team are what Maggie strives for.

Maggie and her partner Bryce are kept busy at home with their little girl Daisy, Motley the cheeky kelpie cross, and a very spoilt domestic long hair cat called Ned.
