Dr Hannah Spitzer - Vet in St Ives

Dr Hannah Spitzer

DVM, MRCVS - Veterinary Surgeon

Hannah Spitzer grew up in Southeast England with a lifelong passion for animals. She followed her dream to become a vet, studying in the Netherlands and qualifying as a veterinary surgeon (DVM, MRCVS) from Utrecht University. After working in a veterinary practice in Amsterdam, she returned to the UK, where she met John.

Hannah has gained a wealth of experience working in various small animal practices in the UK and locally in the North Shore. Five years ago, she and John immigrated to Australia with their young family. They are now happily settled here with their three girls, their friendly dog, Sunny, and their rabbit, Fudge.

Hannah and John share a commitment to offering great service at fair prices. They both love all aspects of veterinary medicine and surgery, and their friendly approach puts you and your pets at ease. They believe in strong communication and building trusted bonds with pets and their owners to achieve the best possible results for everyone.
