Dr Nadia Timol

Hi, I’m Nadia and I feel privileged to be the Vet Director at Greencross Coburg. I was born and raised in the small island nation of Mauritius, which is where I discovered my passion for animals. I grew up with a constant menagerie of pets consisting of dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, mice, fish, terrapins to name a few; all while picking up many strays to add to my ‘collection’ as well as volunteering with a shelter and one of the few wildlife conservation NGOs of the island at the time. I later moved to South Africa where I studied zoology and ecology at the University of Cape Town. During that time, I was lucky to be involved with many projects, the most exciting one being tracking Chacma Baboons in the Cape Point Nature Reserve. Over a decade ago, I relocated to Australia where I spent several years studying and working as a vet in Western Australia before moving to the East coast in 2015. I focus on dogs and cats having a special interest in surgery and dentistry, but I am happy to treat rabbits, guinea pigs and small birds for routine concerns. I am currently the happy ‘mom’ of two domestic short hair cats named Bagheera and A-G and when I am not spending time with them I enjoy crafts, op-shopping and live music amongst the many things Melbourne has to offer. I am thrilled to have recently joined the Greencross team and I am looking forward to meeting all your fur-babies in our fantastic brand new hospital!
