Dr Julie Whitehead BVSc

Dr Julie joined our Beachlands clinic in October 2023, before that she was practising at clinics in Waikanae and Levin. Growing up on a farm sparked her interest in animals and she knew early on that she wanted to be a vet. Despite being a small animal vet now, Julie has practised as a large animal vet in the past. Julie's favourite thing about being a vet is working through challenging situations with clients. She also enjoys working with a bunch of caring people who share a similar goal of hers - helping clients and their pets. She enjoys working out at our Beachlands clinic because of the calm and relaxed environment. Julie has a particular interest in elderly patients and finds great fulfilment in helping ease their pain or discomfort, and she also enjoys cytology.

At home, Julie has a dog named Coren and two cats Rocky and Ester Cabbage. For fun, she enjoys walking Coren and taking him on adventures. She also enjoys gardening and hopes to spend more time fishing. Her family aim to climb as many Auckland volcanoes as possible this year!

You can find Julie at the Beachlands Clinic on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
