BVSc, Veterinarian
Dr Debbie Osborne is a female Veterinarian.
Dr Deb did the classic "Let’s move to Alice Springs, just for a year or two", and never left! Deb is the practice owner and has proudly been a part of the Alice Springs community since 1984 when “we were just a small clinic on the North Stuart Highway”.
Deb became a vet because of a keen interest in science and medicine but the desire to treat more than just one species led her to choose veterinary medicine over human medicine. She enjoys learning about the amazing advancements in medicine that we can put into practice to “improve the lives of our patients, and by keeping our patients healthier for longer, we are improving the lives of their owners”.
Deb’s goal is to “run the business as a place I would want my pets treated and employ staff I would want caring for my pets.” She believes that a great vet not only knows what’s best for the pet, but also how to make that work for the owner too.
Like most of us in the industry, Deb's pets have been mostly made up of strays or abandoned patients that she has fallen in love with at work. Sometimes our pets find us! Her family is made up of her husband Bryan, their two adult children, and a Kelpie named Sid who was originally purchased to help with Bryan's cattle work and a wolfhound cross originally from Timber Creek.
