Dr Jolene A

Veterinarian

I’ve been a small animal veterinarian for over 15 years and am passionate about providing the best possible care to my patients. I joined the Greencross Warringal team in 2020, where I have continued to focus on preventative strategies to help our pets stay healthy and address potential health concerns early. I’m committed to ensuring all patients have a stress free vet visit and helping our older patients live comfortably and pain-free.

In addition to experience in general practice, hospitals and emergency centres, I’ve had the opportunity to volunteer overseas, providing veterinary care to animals in a small village in Thailand and stray cats on a Greek Island. I enjoy connecting with the community and in the future I hope to volunteer in Arnhem Land. I have also volunteered at ACMI for many years. Outside of work, I enjoy exploring with my young son and love to learn new things.

I’m here to support pets and their families with practical and empathetic care, always aiming to make a positive difference in their lives. I look forward to meeting you.

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.
