Dr Yoko Clinch BSc BVMS (Hons) MANZCVS CCRT:

Yoko is the veterinarian to whom Dr Don Nickels has passed on his Lancelin Veterinary Clinic.  She worked with Don for many years at the Cottesloe Animal Hospital before he retired from that position. She now works full time at Roleystone Animal Hospital, and on her days off comes up to Lancelin to continue to offer veterinary services to the communities along Indian Ocean Drive.  Yoko enjoys working with small animals (including ferrets) and has undertaken further study to become a member by examination, to the Australian & New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists (ANZCVS) in Veterinary Radiology.  She also became Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist (CCRT) through the Canine Rehabilitation Institute in 2017 and has launched Veterinary Rehabilitation Services as a result, so don’t hesitate to ask her for advice on how to keep your pet fit and comfortable.  In 2020, Yoko successfully established the newest chapter then the ANZCVS in Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation and is currently the President and Science Week Convenor of this chapter.  In 2022, she successfully sat the inaugural membership examination for this chapter, becoming the first veterinarian in Western Australia to have the “MANZCVS – Veterinary Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation – Canine” qualification and is passionate about continuing to advance the level of veterinary rehabilitation services available to the animals of Western Australia.

Adrian Clinch:

Adrian is our practice manager, IT manager, payroll manager and equipment maintenance/repair guy.  He’s also now a trainee Vet Nurse!! You’ll see him behind the reception desk organising Yoko’s appointments, or out the front of the clinic talking to people about their pets and probably about fishing! Adrian and Yoko have 3 fur kids: Haida (see below), Hugo (our cross breed puppy), and Hoshiko, our kitten.

Haida is our cavalier x poodle, who loves barking at people and other dogs (when he’s not asleep on the couch or rolling in all things stinky). He’s a pretty clever fellow, so feel free to ask us to show you his latest trick when you next see him!

Hugo Clinch:

Hugo is a lumbering mastiff x that loves people and dogs and really throws himself into everything he does!  He is also allergic to food, so we have to be really careful about what he is fed so he doesn’t spend days chewing his feet & his belly.
