Angela Lee

Veterinary Nurse
My name is Angela and I’ve been in the veterinary industry since 1999 (minus a few years while having my human babies). My passion for animals and animal welfare has always been a strong part of my life. Over the years I often brought strays home to “foster” but never left. At the moment we have one dog named Penny and two cats named Lilli and Sophie. With three kids and three pets we have a very busy house but wouldn’t have it any other way. With such a busy home and young kids you’ll usually only see me in clinic on the weekends.

Dr Suzanne Cosgrove BVSc (Hons) BSc

My name is Dr Suzanne Cosgrove. I was born in the USA but grew up on the beaches of the beautiful Gold Coast. In 1999 I moved to Brisbane to study at the University of Queensland where I completed a Bachelor of Science (Biomedical) in 2002 and a Bachelor of Veterinary Science (Hons) in 2007. During my studies I volunteered for the RSPCA, and also worked as a Veterinary nurse. I came to work with Greencross Vets as a small animal Veterinarian in 2009. Along the way I have adopted six furry children; two terriers named Timmy and Tam, three blue-eyed Siamese cats named Petey, Pauly and Whitey (aka White Bunny), and a chocolate Burmese named Blackie (aka Chocolate Bunny). My furry children are a very important part of my family. I understand the close bond between people and their pets and strive to care for every patient as if they were my own.
