Dr Michael R

Veterinary Associate
Dr Michael Righetti has a farming background (Greta in north eastern Victoria) and according to his late parents he didn’t contemplate any other occupation other than to be a Vet. His brother looked after the equipment and fencing on the farm, and he took care of the animals.

Dr Righetti has been caring for dogs, cats and other small animals for over 30 years and he’s still trying to convince his nurses that he’s in his mid fourtys! And your pets are safe with Dr Righetti as a strict vegetarian he hasn’t eaten one for 30 years!!!!

Outside the Practice his loves are his wife and children,Molly the mutt (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel), golf, tennis, running (call that jogging!), the Melbourne Footy Club and outdoors (favorite areas Fraser Island and the Gibb River Road).

Dr Michael’s neurosis (or one of them!) in human and veterinary medicine is preventative medicine, and you will find this approach comes up all the time in managing patients.

Emerald has been with Greencross Vets Glen Eira as a veterinary nurse for the past two years. Emerald first discovered her love for nursing after her own dogs Oscar and Lulu were tragically diagnosed with cancer. Looking after Oscar and Lulu in their time of need made Emerald realise she was called to veterinary nursing and she has since completed her Certificate II in Animal Studies and her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2024. Emerald and her family lived in Indonesia for a large chunk of her childhood and has developed a love for the country and visits whenever she is able. In her spare time, Emerald enjoys spending time with her friends and family, playing netball, and listening to Taylor Swift.
