Lead Vet
Dr Rafael
BVSc
Rafael embarked on a veterinary career in 2000, graduating from the Central University of Venezuela in 2008. After graduating Rafael became a veterinarian in an emergency clinic with a general practice department, where his strong interest in surgery flourished. In 2016, he relocated to Australia, initially working as a veterinary nurse until graduating from the NVE program in 2019. Since then, he has focused on orthopaedic cases and trauma, spending five years in emergency and general practice in the eastern suburbs, including Lilydale, Ringwood, and Mitcham. Raf started with us in September 2024 making the change from emergency to GP to have more work life balance. Rafael is committed to providing exceptional care to all animals he encounters.
