Welcome to the team Catherine!

By Scott Lackenby | Dated March 8, 2017

Recently we have welcomed Dr Catherine Chen to Gordon Vet, following her previous stint here as a casual vet. Catherine is loving settling back in to Pymble, after spending her childhood growing up in Sydney. She lives locally with her husband and two young children, Oscar and Chelsea, the eldest of whom has just started school. She also shares her home with their charming Ragdoll cat, George.

Catherine graduated with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science from Sydney University in 2001. Her parents always predicted she would become a vet as a child, because she spent most of her time saving insects from their swimming pool.

After graduating, Catherine worked for a year at a practice in West Pennant Hills and then headed overseas to the UK. She worked for five years in general and emergency practices in London and South-East England, before returning home to vet practices in the Inner West and Northern Beaches.

Catherine has a keen interest in all aspects of veterinary medicine, but especially enjoys internal medicine, dermatology, dentistry and ultrasound.

In her spare time, Catherine enjoys adventure travelling, including skiing, diving, caving trekking and white water rafting. She has even spent time with the Mountain Gorillas in Rwanda.

We are very excited to welcome Catherine to our team and look forward to you and your pets meeting her at Gordon Vet Hospital!
