Coral Coast Veterinary Services, located in Innisfail, Queensland, was founded by Dr. Anthony Kahler and has evolved significantly since its inception. In 2005, Dr. Karen Phillips took over the practice, rebranding it to its current name. The clinic moved to a purpose-built facility at Goondi Bend in 2011, allowing for enhanced veterinary care in the beautiful Cassowary Coast region. The dedicated team now consists of three full-time veterinarians and four veterinary nurses, all of whom are local residents passionate about animal care. The practice serves a wide area, with clients traveling from Cairns to Tully to access their services.
