David Zhang
Veterinarian
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to get to know our staff! I’d like to tell you a little bit about myself and my views on providing your pets with the best veterinary services in Chapel Hill.
I came to Australia with my parents at a young age. I grew up in Indooroopilly, all the way until graduating with my Bachelor of Veterinary Science from the University of Queensland in 2013. Following graduation, I worked in the Northern Territory, ACT, Victoria, NSW, and overseas in the UK, before returning to Brisbane in 2019. Brisbane is my home - it’s where my family and friends are, and I wish to serve the local community that I grew up in.
I have an interest in soft tissue surgery and small animal dentistry. I’ve seen good dental and oral health make dramatic improvements in the quality of life for many of my patients. I will always do my best to deliver you and your fur baby the best of care.
Outside of work I enjoy travelling, learning new things, and making peace deals with my cat, Zephyr, to let me keep him indoors. If you have any questions or would like to book an appointment, feel free to give us a call on (07) 3620 2010 or use our online booking portal!

Zie
Veterinary Nurse
From a young age Zie has had a passion for caring for all animals, big and small. In 2009 she started her career working in a local pet store before moving on to begin vet nursing in 2016.
She has a passion for all aspects of general practice, from bonding with patients and clients to assisting in procedures and surgeries. Zie has two fur babies of her own – a 13 year old staffy named Dude, and a 1 year old cat named Bow. Dude loves being with people ALL the time. It doesn’t matter if it’s just watching TV or going for bush walks – he’ll be there! Bow just thinks he’s one of the dogs.

Elena has been working in the veterinary industry since 2018 and completed her Bachelor of Veterinary Technology at the University of Queensland in 2019. She has wanted to work with animals since she was 5 years old and is very proud she made that dream come true.

Ella
Veterinary Nurse
Ella is a Veterinary Science student at the University of Queensland, set to graduate in 2024. She grew up in the forests of Brisbane, surrounded by animals - from sheep to ducks to chickens to dogs.
She has always been an enthusiastic environmental advocate, having spent much of her time before starting uni volunteering at sanctuaries such as Lone Pine. Ella is passionate about wildlife and conservation, but still has a soft spot for her own animals.
She spends her weeks at Gatton, but loves nothing more than to come home on the weekends and explore Mt Coot-tha forest with her Standard Poodle, Cleo.
