Meet Our Team
Dr Erin Swan BVSc (Hons) - Director
Since graduating from the University of Queensland in 2007, Erin has spent the majority of her career in the glorious Samford Valley treating everything from horses and alpacas to dogs, cats, chickens and guinea pigs. After some time away in a small animal practice in North Brisbane, she has come back to care for the valley animals with her high level of surgical skills and competent knowledge. While there is very little Dr Erin dislikes in her job, she has a passion for understanding and treating cruciate ligament disease in dogs, orthopaedic surgery, and helping patients get back on their paws. She has a soft spot for the senior pets and likes to try and make a visit to the vet as stress free as possible. Outside of work, you can find her cuddling whippets, riding her horse, helping down at the local pony club, or most often, watching her kid’s sports events.
Dr Daniel Swan BVSc (Hons) - Director
Dr Dan has always been passionate about internal medicine and diagnostic imaging. With a particular skill in ultrasonography he can perform abdominal ultrasounds in clinic for accurate and prompt diagnoses. After a decade in general practice, Dr Dan transitioned to become the veterinary director of two major veterinary emergency centers in Brisbane where he broadened his skills in emergency and critical care. General practice is his true passion and Dr Dan takes great pride in providing patients and the community with exceptional care. While capable of being serious, he also believes that laughter is the best medicine for both humans and pets alike.
Dr Belinda Dorman BVSc (Hons)
Belinda has a strong interest in soft tissue surgery, ophthalmology, wound management, dermatology and canine behaviour. While enjoying the other passions in life with a young family and a love of photography, Belinda will be at the clinic on Wednesdays. We are so pleased to have such a skilled and caring professional on our team.
