John Dooley graduated from the University of Sydney in 1975.
He has been in mixed-species practice since then, mainly in the Manning Valley. In January 2011, his very successful Wingham Vet Clinic merged with the Valley Veterinary Hospital to become Wingham and Valley Vets.
John has long enjoyed the challenge of being competent across all species – friends who are single-species specialists say their jobs are much simpler!
Specific areas of interest for John are ear disease in dogs and cats, soft tissue surgery, skin diseases, laminitis in horses and lameness conditions in cattle. He is also passionate about educating and mentoring student vets.
Wingham and Valley Vets is privileged to have such a experienced and dedicated vet offer their experience and expertise for so many years. John retired from clinical practice in June 2020, commencing a well-deserved rest after 45 years of incredible service.
However, John will continue to mentor Veterinary students and will remain a valuable part of the practice in a teaching capacity.
