I am passionate about all aspects of mixed practice and enjoy the large animal work with all the challenges this provides as well as the small animal surgery and medicine component at our clinic.

Our family has numerous animals including a dog, 3 cats, 2 goats, guinea pigs, chooks, cows and lots of horses.

Hi I am Dr Suzanne Bijster. I graduated in 1999 from Utrecht University in the Netherlands. After working in small animal clinics for 3 years in various cities, the travel bug caught which led me to Australia. Since 2006 I have been working as a small animal vet in Albury-Wodonga and last year made the move to Wangaratta to join the team at Dr Paws. Thorough history and physical examination and a common sense approach would best describe my attitude to my work.

My aim is to find a workable and affordable solution to improve the quality of life for every patient. I have one very small dog on three legs, one very large dog, a gorgeous moggie cat and an elderly sophisticated burmese. Let’s not forget our ‘I’ll eat anything’ rabbit and a very demanding goldfish. 

I have always been passionate about animals and have been lucky enough to be in the veterinary industry for 7 years now. I love that no two days are the same and I am so excited to be part of the team at Dr Paws.

My passion for animals started at a young age due to growing up on a farm. I have a special interest in horses and love all aspects of mix practice.

Having always loved anything animal related, working in a veterinary clinic in a receptionist role is the best way to combine my customer service skills with my passion for pets!
