Dr TEvya Harpole, BSc bvetmed manzcvs (small animal dentistry & oral surgery)

Senior Veterinarian

After spending her early years living in many different countries, Tevya pursued her first university degree in biochemistry & biophysics in the USA. She then attended The Royal Veterinary College in London, graduating in early 2001. She spent 11 years working in the UK before emigrating with her family to Sydney in 2012. She has worked in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney since then. 
Her special areas of interest are dentistry, soft tissue surgery, ophthalmology and small furries (rabbits, rats & guinea pigs). She has spent her career focusing heavily on dentistry with advanced training in that discipline. She does, however, remain rooted in a holistic and individualised approach to her patients and their needs. 
Home is shared with her cat Cosmo, her dog Lucky and should the opportunity arise, no doubt, another ‘just staying for the night’ will become a part of the family. 

Dr esther Tarszisz, BVSc (Hons I) MApSc PhD

Senior Veterinarian

Esther graduated from Sydney university in 2002. She’s worked all over Australia and the UK with dogs, cats and other small furries and simultaneously pursued a love of wildlife conservation in remote locations worldwide, most recently in Antarctica with Weddell and elephant seals. Despite the love of wildlife, she’s never lost a passion for hands-on treatment of small furry creatures and has pursued deeper knowledge of emergency veterinary care (medicine & surgery) and dentistry. She’s also discovered an interest in bird & reptile medicine, and holds a not-so-secret urge to have a cockatiel as part of her household.

She is owned by an elderly previous stray Beanie (now competing for “The Fussiest Cat In The World” title) and was recently adopted by a tiny bunny, Squishlet, who enjoys being adorable, snuggly and destroying things. Esther can be found climbing walls (gym and outdoors), hiking in her spare time, and doing no cooking whatsoever.
