CORINNE

Corinne mixed with our team well soon after she joined us from the very beginning of 2007. She worked in a totally different industry for years where she gained lots of customer contact experience that is totally transferable to our hospital for up keeping our quality services. Without a doubt, Corinne is a pet lover especially dogs. She has two Schnauzer named Ball Jai and Dick Dick who are 9 and 3 years old.

ICEY

Returned to our family in May 2007, Icey is an experienced veterinary assistant. She started her career in animal care with us years ago, worked at SPCA and other private clinic for some years afterwards. We are more than happy to have Icey back as she brought her experience as well. Icey has previously kept dogs, hamsters, turtles…… And now her 3 naughty and lovely cats keep her busy during her spare time.

KIT

Kit has been with us since October 2007. During her time with us, she has developed a strong interest in avian and reptile medicine, as well as surgery. But she particularly loves schnauzers and all species of birds and tortoises. Kit has affection for all animals. She has two noisy mini schnauzer "Pang Pang" and "Nigo", a lory by the name of "Lory", a hedgehog "Ah Boi" and a star tortoise "Victoria" who apparently is a boy !!!

CONNIE

Connie initially started working with us on March 2003 as a receptionist. Connie left us in September 2006 to try a different industry but missed us so much she returned in November 2008 and rejoined us as a veterinary assistant. Connie especially enjoys when she is scheduled to work in hospital and enjoys providing one on one nursing support to intensive care patients. At home Connie has two golden retrievers called Silver and Ball Ji, who keep her very busy in her spare time.

  TIPPI

Tippi is a very cheerful veterinary nurse. After finishing her Certificate in Animal Studies by Animal Industries Resource Centre, she decided she would love to learn more about exotic pets and other small animals so she joined us here in Tai Wai. Tippi previously worked in Macau for one and a half years, so often travels there to visit her friends. Fortunately, she doesn’t like to gamble in the casinos so spends her spare time playing tennis, hiking, diving, swimming and of course traveling.

JAMES

James worked in other Veterinary practices for 2 years before he joined us in early 2010. He is very enthusiastic and has a genuine interest in looking after pets. For the past 15 years James has kept a variety of pets ranging from cats and dogs to rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish and insects! He especially enjoys helping with the hospitalized reptiles and birds. During the years of looking after his own pets James has built up valuable knowledge about the different exotic species kept as pets and how to take care of them.
