Dr Edwin Smith graduated in 1989 from the University of Melbourne and headed for the green hills of Korumburra in South Gippsland. After wrestling in the mud with calvings and downer cows for nearly 5 years, Edwin decided to head for the not-so-green hills of Central Victoria. This 3-year stint with mainly dogs cats and horses saw him develop an interest in small animal surgery. The highlight of this time in mixed practice was spaying a 120kg pig! Edwin joined Dr Tom Hart's Niddrie Veterinary Clinic as a fulltime associate in June 1997. Now owning the practice years later, Edwin treats his patients like his own beloved Winnie the Frenchie X Aussie Bulldog and loves talking to people about their pets. His special interests are general surgery, medicine and Australian Wildlife! Edwin spends as much time as possible on his land at home in Central Victoria with his wife Mandy and their three kids, as well as the family's menagerie of animals.
