Our Doctors

The West Toowoomba Veterinary Surgery is now owned by Michael Burke BVSc MACVSc and Christine Burke BVSc.

Our DoctorsIn October 1988, West Toowoomba Veterinary Surgery was founded by Bob Doneley. After more than 20 years working and developing this practice, Bob has decided on a change of pace and is now working for the University of Queensland Veterinary School. This has lead to us purchasing the clinic in October 2010.

We graduated from the University of Queensland Vet School in 1991, both with first class honours. After a year of working in Australia we travelled to England where we worked for 5 years.

Michael has got a Membership in small animal medicine.

Lynley

Welcome Dr Lynley! Joining us at the start of the new year, she has proven to be a fantastic addition to our clinic.
Lynley brings a warm, calm and mature manner that has quickly made her a favourite among our clients and their pets.
She is particularly interested in shelter medicine and fear free practices. She strongly believes that clear communication and education is vital to maintaining your pets best health.
She has 3 of her own cats and a dog but has owned a multitude of animals throughout her life. We won’t hold the fact she’s from NZ against her.

Nikita

Nikita joins us from the wilds of Pittsworth and we are delighted to have her on the team.  Her bubbly and vivacious character fill the place with such good energy.  She has an huge thirst for knowledge and is enthusiastic about all the challanges that the vet profession can throw at you.  There doesn’t seem to be an area that she is not interested in. If you see her in the clinic, she is most likely snuggling a patient while she writes her notes or has a cup of tea.
