OUR TEAM | Lamington Terrace Veterinary Surgery

Dr Leisa Denaro BVSc
Our team is headed by Veterinarian Dr Leisa Denaro BVSc. Dr Leisa believes that your pets are valued family members. She believes that having a practice with a team of qualified, experienced and caring staff that are like-minded in their beliefs in responsible pet ownership and quality preventative health care is very important so she set about surrounding herself with great people who make up the team.

Her "baby" Billy the kelpie can usually be seen around the practice.

Mr Jodie Denaro
You will meet Jodie taking on relief nurse/reception duties. He also keeps the place looking neat and tidy and well maintained. Jodie is married to Dr Leisa. Billy is a very happy kelpie dog when his favourite Dad is at work with him.

Kelpie & Billy
Officially known as Kelpie the Wonderdog & Billy the Kid, they are the resident Frisbee-chasers! Kelpie has been by Dr Leisa’s side in vet clinics since she was 6 weeks old. Billy is Kelpie’s son and for many years went to work on the farm with Jodie but now happily lounges around the clinic during the day. Sadly, in July 2010, Kelpie passed away at the brilliant age of 15 years 11 months. She is very sadly missed but will always be present in spirit here at the clinic.

Sir Claude
Claude is the resident over-seer. You will see him draped over the reception counter ensuring things are done correctly! Claude was brought in to Dr Leisa one night as a stray. He had a fractured jaw and was very thin and ill. After failing to find his owner, we adopted him (or rather he adopted us) and immediately made himself at home and put himself in charge.His favourite hobbies are eating and walking on the keyboards!
