Dr. Melville-Smith has been living and working in Whyalla since 1998. He is the principal veterinarian at the clinic.

Under his stewardship the veterinary clinic has a strong environmental focus on sustainability, runs a re-homing program for rescued dogs and cats and has expanded to offer a 7 day a week service.

He is married, has three grown up children and four dogs. (All rescues)

I was born in Hong Kong and grew up there. At the age of fifteen, I’ve already decided to become a vet. However, veterinary studies were not available in Hong Kong at the time, so I came to Adelaide for college and university.

Adelaide is a lovely city with wonderful people. While on rotations and work placements, I discovered my interest in specific fields of the veterinary industry, particularly in cats and fish. As a vet I’d try as best as I could to help the animals.

It is lovely to see happy owners bring home healthy pets. To me, challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. During my leisure time, I like to exercise, read and spend time with my family, friends and (my friend’s) cat Faith
