Dr Graeme Cross

Hi, I am the owner and leader of Gosford Vet Hospital.
In many ways I have the easiest job as our team listed below are like family and make this the best practice I have ever worked in.

I  started the practice 8 years ago in an empty building and it has grown quickly to the size it is today.

We are committed to be continually improving and have been updating the clinic appearance to match the very modern equipment we have inside.

However, none of this is as important as the warm people we have working with me and we are lucky to welcome new members to our team as we grow. This year we welcome  Kim and Paris.

I would also like to congratulate Sam , Dani and Robert who are fully qualified vet nurses now after graduating from  their courses with distinction.

We also congratulate Sami and Kath who are now fully qualified mum’s after the arrival of their beautiful boys. We have already started their veterinary studies…………..   only joking.

I have my own family and I am blessed with my new partner Chris. Between  us we have 5 wonderful children aged from 3 to 10.

We do sometimes come to work to have a rest but love the life that has been given to us.

I hope you enjoy our website and like our practice it is  only going to improve and prosper in the future.
