Our Team

Dr. Qais George

DVM, BVMS

Qais trained as a veterinary surgeon at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. After graduating in 2007, he worked half a year at a small animal clinic in Amsterdam before becoming the principal vet at a small but busy animal clinic in Arnhem, the Netherlands. In 2012, he decided to move to Australia and joined a small animal clinic in Wollongong before settling in Melbourne. Qais became the principal vet at Vets in Cranbourne in July 2014.

Qais enjoys the daily interaction with pets and their owners. His eagerness to serve and dedication to animals are well known to his clients. He enjoys attending veterinary conferences and expanding his knowledge through continuing education with keen interests in preventive care and internal medicine. His special interests are veterinary dental health and surgery. In his free time, Qais loves reading and go travelling.

Dr. Yvonne Rabl

Yvonne studied Veterinary Science at the University of Melbourne and loves the daily variety and challenges of being a vet. Yvonne feels very privileged to be able to help you look after the health of your four-legged family members through all stages of their life. She particularly likes working with cats and dogs, and finds one of the best parts of her job is getting to know clients and their pets over many years. Since graduating she has worked in small animal practices in both Adelaide and Melbourne, including for several years at our associated clinic Endeavour Hills Vets.

Outside work Yvonne keeps busy with her husband, 4 children, two moggie cats and cavoodle dog.

Dr. Saumya Perera

BVSc

Saumya’s (Mya) childhood dream was to become a Veterinarian one day. She adores all animals, especially cats. She graduated from University of Peradeniya SL in 2013 and passed full Australian Veterinary exam from the University of Queensland in 2022. She has also done a PhD on pharmacology at Western Sydney university in 2019.

In her spare time, she paints animals and spends time with her beautiful family.

Alysha Williams

Alysha is a qualified Vet Nurse and has been with Vets in Cranbourne since 2017. Alysha is passionate about caring for your pets and enjoys all aspects of nursing; but she especially enjoys the practical side of nursing such as surgeries, diagnostics and just generally loves being a part of the care plan for your pets.

Outside of nursing Alysha keeps herself busy with her family which includes 3 children (including twins), her “giant” cat Pumpkin, a Bearded Dragon named Bruni and British Bulldog, Marshy. She also fosters kittens from time to time, so her house is at the very least often chaotic (but she wouldn’t change it for the world).

Megan Holah

Megan has been passionate about animals and their well-being from a very young age, and she is pursuing her dream career as a Veterinary nurse here at Vets in Cranbourne.

Always willing to go the extra step to care for all animals as if they’re her own. She especially loves that every day is different and that there is always so much more to learn- particularly in diagnostics, imaging and surgery.
While not at the clinic, Megan runs her own small business ‘pooch & co. pet boutique’ making pet accessories and dressing all the pooches (& cats) of Australia and beyond!

As well as a chaotic family life, and her own fur babies; Bianca- Newfoundland, Kobi- Labrador, Billie- Golden Retriever, a rabbit and Guinea pig always keeping her on her toes, she couldn’t wish for much more in life!

Allezar Brookes

Allezar was born and raised in South Africa. From a young age Allezar has always been fascinated with the care and wellbeing of all kinds of animals in the wild: from four legged fur-friends to slithering reptiles. Allezar is now studying Vet Nursing and pursuing his dream to become a Vet Nurse.

Taylor Dare

Taylor has wanted to work with animals from a young age even since before she started school; growing up her Grandpa knew this and would constantly “nag” her to start her career in Veterinary Nursing. As Taylor grew older, every time she saw him, he would lovingly ask “have you started doing your vet thing yet?” And every time Taylor would reply, “no, not yet”. It wasn’t until after he sadly passed in 2020, that Taylor finally pursued her dream career in Veterinary Nursing.

We have no doubt Taylor would be making her Grandpa proud.

Justin Betts

Justin is following a new path as a vet nurse and currently studying his Certificate IV in Vet Nursing. A love for animals of all shapes and sizes has seen Justin work with dogs and cats, Australian native animals including kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, lizards, snakes, frogs and even a kookaburra.

Greyhounds, whippets, staghounds and dog training are where his passion lies. Justin was able to reach an advanced level of training with his late dog Ollie, a kelpie greyhound X, and is starting a new training adventure with Newt, a staghound X.
