Dr. Nick Page BVSc
Veterinary Surgeon
I have been a practicing veterinarian for over 20 years now. Although having been practically exposed to virtually all areas of veterinary clinical practice during my early career, my interests rapidly became narrowed. I have a passion for surgical diseases and treatment and throughout my career have amassed specific skills in more advanced surgical treatments and diagnostics associated with surgical diseases. I have always held a specific interest in equine medicine and surgery of sport and pleasure horses and would like to re-enact this interest in the near future. My particular species of interest are cats, dogs and horses. I hold administrative and clinical roles with Equestrian Sport New Zealand with a portfolio in the Endurance discipline. I love my job and am extremely passionate about it. There is nothing else that I would rather be doing with my life other than being a clinical veterinarian. This job challenges me and provokes me into self-improvement every day of my working life. I enjoy getting off the beaten track into the Third World and attempt to do this annually, usually involving wildlife within these adventures. I enjoy tramping and outdoors and wilderness within New Zealand, although more recently this has meant day trips! I still harbour fictitious dreams of re-invoking the adventure ski demon I was in my youth! I enjoy classical and jazz music, art and theatre also.
