Dr. Tahleah Haddow

Practice Owner

Dr. Tahleah  was born and raised in north-west Victoria in the small country town of Donald. Here she completed all of her schooling before heading off to university. Having grown up with a variety of pets and spending much of her time with them, Tahleah's career choice was obvious!

Tahleah graduated from Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga in July 2013. After graduating she spent the first few years of her career working in a mixed practice in Stawell, Victoria. Keen for a challenge and change of scenery, Tahleah chose to move to Far North Queensland which brought her here to join our wonderful team. She thoroughly enjoys both surgery and medicine and is passionate about all animals, large and small.

In her spare time Tahleah can be found playing sport, camping or fishing as well as spending time with her boys (puppy Beau and Partner Rik) and reading.
