Payneham Veterinary Centre is a dedicated animal care facility located in Evandale, South Australia, with a rich history dating back to its founding by Dr. Roberta Reid as Avenue Road Vet Clinic. Dr. Reid established the first purpose-built veterinary practice in South Australia, catering to both small and large animals. Over the years, the clinic has transitioned through various ownerships, with notable veterinarians like Dr. Van Gynn and Dr. Mellvile Smith contributing to its legacy. In 2001, Dr. Kylie Jopson and Dr. John Carruthers rebranded the clinic to Payneham Veterinary Centre, moving it to its current purpose-built location in December 2019, where it continues to thrive.
The centre is staffed by a team of experienced veterinarians and fully qualified nurses who are passionate about providing high-quality veterinary care. The current team includes Dr. Lucy, who specializes in medical management and imaging, and Dr. Sarah, who brings extensive experience from various small animal practices. Together, they offer a comprehensive range of services, including routine check-ups, vaccinations, surgical procedures, and emergency care, ensuring that pets receive the best possible treatment tailored to their individual needs.
At Payneham Veterinary Centre, the philosophy revolves around compassionate care and building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. The team is committed to creating a welcoming environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their pets’ health and well-being. With a focus on preventive care and education, the centre aims to empower pet owners to make informed decisions about their animals’ health, fostering a community of responsible pet ownership in the North Western Adelaide metropolitan area.
