At Old Reynella Veterinary Clinic, we believe that exceptional veterinary care starts with building trusted relationships. That’s why we’re proud to introduce our Lead Veterinarian, Dr Tim Thai, whose passion for animals, commitment to high-quality medicine and compassionate approach make him a valued member of our team.
A Strong Foundation in Veterinary Care
Dr Tim graduated from the University of Adelaide in 2017 and has since worked across a variety of veterinary clinics, developing extensive experience in small animal medicine and surgery.
Working in different clinical settings has helped him build a well-rounded approach to veterinary care, allowing him to tailor treatment plans to the individual needs of every pet and family he meets.
Building Relationships That Last
For Dr Tim, one of the most rewarding parts of being a veterinarian is creating lasting relationships with pets and their owners.
He enjoys getting to know families, supporting them through every stage of their pet’s life and helping them make informed decisions about their pet’s health. His gentle, collaborative approach ensures every pet receives personalised care while owners feel supported and involved throughout the process.
Leading the Team at Old Reynella Veterinary Clinic
Dr Tim joined Old Reynella Veterinary Clinic in 2023, working closely alongside Dr Hazel before stepping into the role of Lead Veterinarian.
Today, he is proud to lead a team that shares a strong commitment to compassionate, professional veterinary care. Together, they strive to create a welcoming environment where pets receive the highest standard of medical care and owners feel confident that their beloved companions are in safe hands.
Life Outside the Clinic
When he’s not caring for patients, Dr Tim enjoys drawing and relaxing at home watching movies with his own pets.
His household includes dogs, cats and birds, giving him firsthand insight into the unique personalities, needs and joys of living with different species. These experiences continue to strengthen his appreciation of the human–animal bond and inspire the empathy he brings to every consultation.
A Privilege to Care for Pets
For Dr Tim, being a veterinarian is about far more than diagnosing illnesses or performing procedures, it’s about supporting pets and their families through every stage of life.
Whether it’s welcoming a new puppy or kitten, helping a pet recover from illness, providing preventative healthcare or supporting owners through their pet’s senior years, he considers it a privilege to be part of each family’s journey.
Dr Tim is passionate about delivering high-quality, tailored veterinary care with kindness, professionalism and genuine compassion.
If you’d like to meet Dr Tim or book an appointment for your pet, our friendly team at Old Reynella Veterinary Clinic would love to welcome you. Together, we’ll help keep your pet happy and healthy for years to come.
