Dr Alistair Newbould

BVM&S, MVM MANZCVS (Small Animal Radiology)

Veterinarian
 
Alistair is a graduate of Edinburgh University Veterinary School, emigrating to New Zealand in 1985. He is the practice founder and principal. His clinical interests include imaging (radiography and ultrasound), cardiology and surgery. Outside of work two of his main passions are motorcycling and skiing. It is with very great pleasure we announce that Alistair has successfully passed the required membership examinations (written, oral and practical) to gain membership of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in Small Animal Radiology. He has prepared and studied for these rigorous examinations in addition to his normal long working hours. We are all very proud of his achievements.

Dr Michelle Mills

BVSc MVM

Veterinarian
Michelle joined the veterinary team in 2009 following her graduation from Massey University. She is a friendly, thorough, client-focused practitioner. She has proven to be a great asset to the team and has quickly become a firm favourite with many clients and their pets. Michelle recently completed her Masters of Veterinary Medicine and clinically has a particular interest in dermatology, internal medicine and canine behaviour. Outside of work, Michelle enjoys playing the piano, attempting pilates and exploring the beautiful local beaches with her husband, Lucas, and golden retriever, Lily.

Yasmin Ford

Veterinarian

Yasmin graduated from the University of Nottingham England in 2019 and moved straight to Dunedin from the UK to join us at Humanimals. Currently she is exploring her interests as she starts her veterinary career. Outside of work Yasmin enjoys hiking and baking. She has jointed one of our other nurses at cross fit training – balancing this off with her great first attempt at Rocky Road cakes. We can all attest to their deliciousness. We are delighted to have Yasmin join us and she has fitted in so well already, please make her feel welcome.

Tashnika Pretorius

Veterinarian

Tashnika is a 2017 graduate from the University of Pretoria, South Africa and has joined our Humanimals team this February 2020. From dehorning rhinos, treating military horses and working at a busy welfare hospital in Cape Town, she has decided to grow her true passion which is her love for companion animal medicine and surgery. Joining her in Dunedin is her husband, Rudolf and 2 gorgeous dogs, Oslo and Connor.

Dineke van der Veen

Veterinarian

Dineke graduated from Utrecht University, the Netherlands, in January 2016. She first started working in the Netherlands but then moved to the UK where she had been working for 3 years before coming to New Zealand. She had to wait a while during the COVID19 lockdown before she could start working for us but is worth the wait. She has a keen interest in cardiology. In her spare time, she likes to spend time with her two beautiful dogs and husband and going for long walks with them. Dineke has hit the ground running and is already an integral part pf the Humanimals team.
