Dr Karen Habib

Hello there! I’m Karen, delighted to meet you. In 2023, I proudly graduated from vet school from the University of Melbourne. My journey in veterinary care began back in 2013 as a high school placement student at a small animal clinic in Toronto, Canada. It was there that I discovered my passion for this field, a passion I nurtured throughout high school and my undergraduate studies as a veterinary nurse.

Today, I find great joy in serving the wonderful community of Geelong as a veterinarian. Although I enjoy all aspects of small animal medicine, my areas of interest encompass animal dentistry, dermatology, and community outreach/education. I firmly believe in the One Health model, understanding the interconnectedness of human and animal health, and strive to promote holistic well-being.

Beyond my professional endeavors, I thrive on exploring Melbourne’s vibrant food and arts scene. Whether it’s sampling cuisine from new eateries, attending local gigs, or immersing myself in captivating exhibits, I’m always eager for new experiences. Now that I’ve transitioned from student ( after a long 9 year journey) to salary , I’m experiencing the initial symptoms of catching the travel bug– please don’t hesitate to share your favorite destinations, near and far! 

Thank you for entrusting your beloved furry family members to me and the dedicated team at Dr. Paws. I look forward to em(bark)ing on this journey together.
