Our Doctors

  Dr Karen Koks B.V.Sc. (hons) and "Piper"
                                                    Principal Veterinarian

Hi, I am a local girl, growing up in Geebung and attending St Kevin's Primary School.

I graduated as a veterinarian from the University of Queensland in 1983 and have worked in many northside practices over the past 26 years. I love the diversity and challenge this wonderful profession provides, I can honestly say there is never a dull moment.

I purchased this practice in October 2000 and have been working hard ever since to build the modern, well equipped facility we have today.

I am very proud of the dedicated team of healthcare providers we have gathered along the way....each and every person here is 100% committed to our mission focus of "Client centered patient advocacy to extend and enhance the quality and duration of your pet's life"

I am a member of the AVA (Australian Veterinary Association),  the ASAVA (Australian Small Animal Veterinary Association, the BVP (Brisbane Practitioners Branch), AVFP (Association for Veterinary Family Practice) and VIN ( Veterinary Information Network). VIN is a subscription based internet community of some 40000 veterinarians world wide, which keeps us abreast with the latest developments in veterinary medicine, and also gives us the ability to access specialist veterinarians in over 50 areas of expertise.  I have also been awarded the postnominal CMAVA (Charter Member AVA) in recognition of continuing commitment to continuing education and high quality professional standards. Recently, I have been invited to lecture at the Wild West Veterinary Conference in Reno, USA, Seminars at Sea and for the AVPMA (Australian Veterinary Practice Management Association) annual conference.


I share my home with three cats, one dog....oh yes, and three wonderful daughters :-)......life is never dull. 




   Dr Robyn Hall BSc BVMS (Hons). and "Elara"

Hi, my name is Robyn and I have just joined the Zillmere Team!

Originally a Townsville girl, I graduated from Murdoch University in Perth and then moved to Brisbane to enjoy the sunshine.

I have been in the veterinary industry since high school, first in a work experience position and then as a veterinary nurse throughout my university years.

I love working with animals and find it very rewarding and often very challenging as well! I am always learning something new and there is never a boring day.

At home, I have two beautiful kitties, Elara and Callista, who moved over from Perth with me. They too are loving the Brisbane lifestyle and weather.

So drop by and say hello. I look forward to meeting you soon!
