About Us

After James graduated from the University of Queensland, he enjoyed life as a mixed-practice vet, treating large and small animals of all shapes and sizes. In 2007, James took over the directorship of the Albert Animal Hospital, where he now takes pleasure in all aspects of small animal medicine and surgery, with a particular interest in ultrasonography. James’s dedication to his patients and their owners can be seen in his willingness to go above and beyond every time.

When James is not in the clinic, he enjoys vegetable gardening or camping and exploring Australia with his wife, Amy, and their two kids.

Jason has been part of the team at Albert Animal Hospital for over 13 years. Considering the clinic to be his second home, Jason has established wonderful long-lasting relationships with many of his patients and their parents.

Jason has been lucky enough to experience so many advances in the last 30 years of his career, particularly noticing improved access to tools that allow for better diagnostics, helping our patients back to good health more quickly. Although Jason enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine, he has a keen interest in surgery and dentistry. Even after 30 years Jason is still learning and improving what he does with the support of the team.

Outside of work, Jason likes to fish, dabble in bird photography, and relax at home with his 2 cats, 2 dogs, and his finch aviary.

If you can’t find Marilyn at the clinic, you are sure to find her on her yoga mat or somewhere in nature.

A veteran here at Albert Animal Hospital, Dr Vic has been a Veterinary Surgeon with the clinic since it opened in 1978! Vic grew up a Brisbane boy and completed his Veterinary Science degree in 1977 at the University of Queensland. As a part-time member of the team, Vic’s cheerfulness can be felt instantly on a Friday by his clients, patients, and colleagues. Vic has a keen interest in geriatric medicine, endeavouring to keep our elderly patients as comfortable as possible throughout their senior years.

The owner of several working dogs, a Burmese called Lily, and a flock of chooks, Vic spends time outside the hospital working hard on his cattle farm in the Gold Coast hinterland. Vic is also an avid rose-growing enthusiast.

Kylie grew up in our local area and graduated from the University of Queensland in 2001. After initially working with large and small animals in Beaudesert, she arrived at the Albert Animal Hospital in 2008 to focus on small animal medicine and surgery. Kylie particularly enjoys dentistry and soft tissue surgeries. She finds online veterinary webinars a great way to access knowledge from a range of veterinary specialists globally. When not treating patients part-time, Kylie enjoys spending time with her family and attempting to survive amateur triathlons.
