Rod | Visiting Veterinarian Surgeon
Pet owners of FNQ need no introduction to Dr. Rod Gilbert - prior owner and director of Marlin Coast Veterinary Hospital. Rod has been a vet in FNQ since 1989 after an 8-year stint in Papua New Guinea. Many of our local clients have more than one story about Rod fixing their beloved pets over the years. We have been very fortunate to engage Rod on an in-house referral basis to offer advanced surgeries from Port Douglas Vets - surgeries that would otherwise be referred to specialist centers further south. Rod graduated from the University of QLD in 1982 and has since maintained a strong interest in orthopedic surgeries - forever learning and refining his skills to offer the highest possible standard of care.
