Dr Pat grew up in Cairns and has been a lover of nature and an avid birdwatcher since a young age. Upon graduating from veterinary school at James Cook University in Townsville, he started in his first job in rural mixed practice in Tully, North Queensland. He worked here for 3 years and treated a diverse range of pets, livestock, and wildlife (including Southern Cassowaries). It was here that he started to immerse himself in Avian medicine and undertook a year-long distance Avian Medicine and Surgery course through Massey University in New Zealand. He was then offered a job in an Avian-only practice in Brisbane where he worked for 3 years. During this time, he sat examinations and achieved Membership qualification in Avian Medicine and Surgery through the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists. In 2022 he was an examiner for these exams. In 2023 he achieved Membership qualification in Medicine and Surgery of Unusual Pets.

Excellent service, caring and professional advice, and very good handling for our pet bird, on our first visit today at The Unusual Pet Vets, Jindalee. Very helpful, and they also provided further reading for us via email after our appointment regarding a few things we asked about. All staff were lovely and friendly – from the initial phone booking (you can do internet bookings too) to and including the consult. Thank you very much – we’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend.
