Your Pet Care Team

Dr Judy Harbison BVSc
Veterinarian/Practice Manager
Judy is the principal of the practice and has owned Bulimba Veterinary Surgery since September 1994.  She has grown the practice from a small one person clinic down on Oxford Street in Bulimba, to the multivet, purpose designed clinic that you see today.  Judy graduated from the University of Queensland in 1990, following in her fathers' footsteps to become a vet. Now that Judy is busy with a family of three small children  her clinical hours are only part-time but she aims to maintain regular contact with her clients and their pets. Her particular veterinary interest is surgery. She shares her home with an energetic Burmese cat named Flower.

Dr Jarrod Drew BVSc
Veterinarian
Jarrod graduated from Queensland University in 2004.  Jarrod took on his first position in a Bayside Veterinary Clinic, situated in the area where he grew up.  After 2 years working in a horse and small animal practice, he decided that he was more suited to treating small animals.  Jarrod then ventured off overseas to work in London for another 2 years developing his skill as a practitioner.  He has now returned home, and has become a full time member here at the Bulimba Vet Surgery.  Jarrod currently doesn't have a pet of his own, so he looks forward to spending as much time as possible with you and your pets while they are in his care.
