OUR TEAM
David Thurgood BVSc
Veterinarian
David joined Whitianga Vets in 2009 after an extended working holiday in the UK. It was while in the UK that he met his wife.
Dave is vastly experienced as a small animal clinician but has a particular interest in small animal surgery, and
in the spring, he is equally at home up to his armpits calving a cow.
In his spare time he can be found on the end of a fishing rod or swimming along the bottom of his favourite fishing/diving spot in the Mercury Bay.
Matt Ebbers BVSc
Veterinarian
Matt joined us after working in mixed practice in the Waikato and Central Plateau for nine years. When the opportunity arose to move to a much warmer and less foggy place, the decision wasn't too difficult.
Matt is passionate about the dairy industry and improving both economic and animal health outcomes, while supporting farmers to continue the proud history of farming in the Mercury Bay area.
Matt is also a capable small animal vet and can often be found in clinic putting pig dogs back together.
Matt lives on a small lifestyle block outside of Whitianga with his wife and 3 young children. When possible, they enjoy tramping through some of the stunning Coromandel scenery.
