Our staff

Dr Edwin Smith

Dr Edwin Smith graduated in 1989 from The University of Melbourne and headed for the green hills of Korumburra in South Gippsland. After wrestling in the mud with calvings and downer cows for nearly 5 years, Edwin decided to head for the not so green hills of central Victoria. This 3 year stint with mainly dogs and cats and horses saw him develop an interest in small animal surgery. The highlight of this time in mixed practice was spaying a 120kg pig!

Edwin joined Dr Tom Hart's Niddrie Veterinary Clinic with Dr Anne Woolley as a fulltime associate in June 1997. Edwin enjoys general practise and loves talking to people about their pets. His special interests are general surgery and wildlife treatment and rehabilitation. Ed spends as much time as possible at home in central Victoria with his wife, Mandy, and three kids, and the family's menagerie of Draco, Chow, Madeye and the 3 kittens (Frankie, Freida and Freddy), Daisy, Rushie, Ruby, Teddy, Cheeky and Miss Wendy (cattle), Snowy,Bobby, Minty,Billie and Prince (sheep), Pebbles, Wilba and Banjo (horses), and Polly and friends, the parrots.

Anne also works hard at home, with 3 guinea pigs, 1 rabbit, 2 dogs, 2 cats, a budgie and a mouse. Her other interests include looking after her daughter, tennis, piano, horseriding.
