FROM OUR CLIENTS
MEET THE VET
Dr Laif
BVSC (HONS) - MIXED ANIMAL PRACTITIONER - LISMORE & NORTHERN RIVERS
Born in Byron Bay and raised on a hobby farm with a Dalmatian and a few cows, my love for animals and rural life started early. After finishing Woodlawn College in 2008 - where I met my beautiful wife - I went on to study Veterinary Science at the University of Queensland, graduating in 2014.
Following university, we moved to Nowra where I worked for several years, built lifelong friendships and welcomed our first family member: Jinka the German Shorthaired Pointer. We tied the knot shortly after and headed home to the Northern Rivers to start a family.
I have continued working in mixed practice across the region and I'm proud to support the establishment of our local Veterinary School in an advisory capacity. Seeing the next generation of vets come through is exciting for our region.
Not long after moving home, our family grew again - first with Alfred the stray kitten with attitude, and then with our beautiful daughters, Maeve and Hallie. These days the girls keep us wonderfully busy - much to poor Jinky and Alfie's displeasure.
I'm committed to bringing great veterinary care to your family, I hope to hear from you soon.
