Melville Animal Hospital

Profile

What can you expect from us?

Our policy has always been to provide our clients and patients with the best possible levels of diagnostic work-up and treatment, whilst offering a range of treatment options to allow our clients to make well-judged decisions based upon their individual priorities.

Our History

One of the first practices South of the river, we first opened in 1966, when Dr David Parkinson left his practice in England to start Melville Animal Hospital. Roseanne Hughes, one of Melville’s founding veterinary nurses, still works with us today.

Dr Howard Hughes joined the practice in 1969, and in 1973 Dr Murray Reid came on board.

After Dr Parkinson left to explore other interests, Drs Hughes and Reid took over ownership. In 1994, bringing with him vision and a contemporary outlook on veterinary care, Dr David Priest assisted in a major rebuilding of Melville Animal Hospital, joining Dr Reid in partnership.

The ‘new look’ hospital was opened in September 1995, to the benefit of pets, their owners and staff alike.

In July 2005 Dr Murray Reid decided to sell his interest in the hospital and Jodi King who has managed the practice for the last 3 years was able to fulfill her dream of becoming a part owner of "the best practice in Perth!"

Dr Murray Reid is continuing on in the practice part time and is enjoying his well earned "time off" during the week.

Our service has continued to grow:

With all of our nursing staff now qualified and registered (or in nursing training) we are extremely proud to provide you with a knowledgeable and confident team.

In 2008 David decided to sell his interest in the hospital and Jodi and her new partner along with all the staff are excited at the new phase for Melville Animal Hospital.

We are always striving to maintain our exemplary service and should you have any suggestions or comments on how we can improve please let us know.

Our hospital is run for you and your friends as well as the staff and we will continue to develop our services to make sure you receive the best possible care at each and every consultation.
