About Us

Dr Martin Reid has run this clinic since 1985; originally graduating Massey with Distinction in 1983, Martin developed a keen interest in the medicine and surgery of cats and dogs. He had already developed a desire for animal health and welfare whilst completing an Honours Degree in Animal Physiology and Biochemistry at Canterbury University prior to attending vet school at Massey.

Continuing education is always a must in this profession and since those early days, Martin has also attained a membership of the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists; this membership can only be gained by examination and is open to veterinary surgeons determined to lift their standards of professional practice.

In 2003 Martin attended the Slocum course of orthopedics in the USA to train for TPLO surgeries for which this clinic is now known.

Dr Philippa Spellman graduated Massey as well in 1995 and has gained a vast experience in small animal medicine from all over the world. Philippa has worked in England and Europe in a wide variety of practices and brings a wealth of talent to the practice. Philippa attends one of the emergency clinics on a regular basis in Auckland to keep herself exposed to a variety of urgent cases and maintain a cutting edge in critical care medicine.

Attending conferences and continuing education courses are important to both vets to maintain modern practices and codes, ensuring the highest quality care for your pets.
