There Joanna completed a General Practitioner Certificate in Feline Practice. In 2008 Joanna returned to practice in Sydney, joining the Five Dock team in 2014. She enjoys meeting clients and all aspects of small animal medicine and routine surgery. When not at work Joanna is kept very busy running around after two young children. If she gets a spare moment, she likes to relax by reading, playing the guitar and visiting the countryside.
