Natasha Krause

I am a dedicated and compassionate veterinarian with a commitment to providing high-quality surgical care. For the past four years I have directed the AWLQ Ipswich Community Vet Clinic, eventually branching into a primarily surgical role. Throughout this time I have developed extensive soft tissue surgical experience across various species, primarily canine and feline. I have a strong foundation in relationship-centred veterinary care and a passionate focus on teamwork, client-relationships, and patient care and recovery. I have an ever-present thirst for knowledge and dedication to ongoing advancement of my skills through continuing education and collaborative professional relationship building. I have well-established excellent communication skills that allow me to facilitate effective client interactions and team collaboration. This experience includes extensive leadership, mentoring, and education of staff and students alike. Passionate about improving animal health and welfare through innovative surgical solutions, I am seeking to contribute my skills and experience to a dynamic multi-disciplinary team focused on delivering exceptional veterinary services.
