Our Story

Our Start

Yamanto Veterinary Surgery was established by Dr. Tim and his wife Jenny in 1999.

We started out at a small, single consult room premises with a limited team, but with the support of the Ipswich community we have had the opportunity to change, expand, and grow through a few variations of the business before we arrived where we are today.

Many clients have been coming to us since those early beginnings and have remained loyal and valued clients ever since. We have shared the heartaches and the joys of owning pets together.

Yamanto Veterinary Surgery

Our Journey

Your ongoing support has encouraged more and more Ipswich residents to bring their pets to us for our special brand of treatment and care.

As a result, our practice has grown steadily and now employs 5 vets, 10 vet nurses, and a Practice Manager who has been with us from the start. Currently, we have over 5000+ clients registered on our books, 4 consult rooms, 2 surgical suites, full imaging and laboratory services, a dental suite, dedicated dog and cat wards, and an on-premises grooming service.

Our Journey

Our Goals

A key reason for this success is, we believe, our consistently high quality of service and care to our clients and their pets. This consistency has been supported by a continual improvement in veterinary knowledge, experience, medical treatments and technology.

The level of training and mentoring provided to Yamanto vets and vet nurses which means the best possible care for your pets,
The positive and innovative workplace culture we constantly cultivate so that you can experience a happy atmosphere; and
keeping our fees as low as possible, as part of our overall commitment to the local community and the health of your pets.

We look forward to you and your pets joining the Yamanto Vet Surgery Family and discovering the personalised care a privately owned family practice can provide.
