Dr Anouk Goodson BVSc
Clinical Director & Senior Veterinarian
Dr Anouk grew up in the Redlands and has wanted to be a vet ever since she was a kid rescuing injured Wildlife. This led her to the University of Queensland where she completed her Bachelor of Veterinary Science in 2013.
Her particular areas of interest are Soft Tissue Surgery and everything Dentistry, not to mention the day-to-day variety of challenges that come with being a Vet. But Dr Anouk's favourite thing is developing bonds with her patients and their families.
Outside of work, Dr Anouk likes to take it easy with cooking, arts and gardening. However, she also loves heading to the range to do some shooting and especially drawn to fast cars as well.
Always at her side, is her faithful 9 year-old Golden Lab X Staffy, Maggie. Dr Anouk likes to say that Maggie looks like a lab that shrank in the wash but loves to hit the gym.
