✨️Welcome Dr Hugh! ✨️
We have been open a year now and have enjoyed meeting every one of you. The Tewantin community has welcomed us with open arms and in the same way we hope you will welcome our newest team member Dr. Hugh Hiemstra.
He will be available for consultations on Mondays, and we’re thrilled to have him on board.
A little about Dr Hugh…
Dr Hubert Hiemstra is an experienced small animal veterinarian with over 20 years in the profession, with a strong background in both emergency and general practice. He brings a calm, practical approach to clinical work, with a passion for problem-solving and clear communication.
Hugh is also the host of The Vet Vault podcast, where he gets to learn from some of the best veterinary specialists in the world on an almost daily basis and shares those insights with vets across the globe.
He’s committed to continuous learning and supporting the veterinary community—both at the consult table and beyond.
Outside of work, Hugh is a dad to three energetic young boys, a whippet-poodle cross, a long-haired dachshund, and more chickens than he can count! He is a keen surfer, and his rare spare time seems him joining the younger crew at the beach :)
