BVSc (Hons) (Syd), BAgSci (Hons) (Tas), Veterinarian
Dr Gareth Stephensen is a male Veterinarian.
Gareth has been working at Tasmanian Veterinary Hospitals since 2007. Since starting his focus has been on improving surgical procedures at Tasmanian Veterinary Hospitals. He has attended countless surgical seminars and workshops over the years and is continuously updating the surgical possibilities for all our Tasmanian patients. He is also currently undertaking his surgical memberships with the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists.
Gareth has also been pioneering in the introduction of minimally invasive surgery for animals in Tasmania. In 2014 he traveled to Colorado to undertake further training in laparoscopy (keyhole surgery). On his return to Tasmania the hospital upgraded their facilities to accommodate minimally invasive surgery. In August of 2014 Gareth then performed Tasmania’s first ever small animal laparoscopic procedure on George the Great Dane. There have now been thousands of laparoscopic and arthroscopic procedures performed at Tasmanian Veterinary hospitals.
Most of all Gareth enjoys the everyday challenges that Veterinary Science has to offer and is happy to be working in an environment that strives to offer the best possible care and treatment to all its patients.
