The Sydney based, Small Animal Specialist Hospital Group (‘SASH’) announced today that it is expanding its services to Adelaide.
Dr Justin Wimpole, SASH CEO said “We are delighted at the opportunity to partner with the local veterinary community in Adelaide; providing pets and their families a new outlet for specialist and referral support, and the 24-hour emergency care their pets need.
Established in Sydney in 2007 and opening a second hospital on the Central Coast of New South Wales in 2017, SASH employs over 70 specialists and 230 vets, nurses, client services and service support professionals. We are privileged to care for over 18,000 pets and their families each year across our NSW hospitals through a wide range of specialist services including Anaesthesia, Animal Cancer Centre, Avian & Exotics, Canine and Feline Blood Bank, Cardiology, Dermatology, Feline Radioiodine, Internal Medicine, Neurology and Neurosurgery, Medical Oncology, Ophthalmology, Pathology, Physiotherapy, Pituitary Centre, Radiology, Radiation Oncology, Reproduction, Sports Medicine & Rehabilitation, Surgery and our 24-hour Emergency and Critical Care department. Pets travel from all over Australia to be cared for by SASH, which also provides radiation oncology services via our world-class dedicated Linear Accelerator for animals.”
Dr Wimpole added “We are partnering with respected local veterinarians including specialists, residency-trained clinicians and other recognised experts in their fields who have an extensive understanding of the needs of their local veterinary and pet owning community, and to that end we are thrilled to be joining forces with three local veterinarians who will lead our Adelaide operation. The combination of David Davies, Andrew Dunn and Ryan Taggart, together with the expertise and support of the SASH Group creates a unique opportunity for SASH and for Adelaide. We are privileged to be able to expand our hospital group into Adelaide with such a talented group of local vets, all well-known to the local veterinary community.”
Dr Ryan Taggart, one of the three SASH Adelaide Local Founding Partners said “Our core motivation is to serve the South Australian veterinary community and to demonstrate an unsurpassed level of care and service, not just for our patients, but for pet owners, primary care veterinarians, and our employees. David, Andrew and I are elated to partner with SASH to build a world-class animal hospital in Adelaide that the entire veterinary community in South Australia can be proud to be associated with.”
Dr Andrew Dunn added “At our core will be surgery, medicine and a 24-hour emergency service, however we will be expanding our range of services over time. We are excited to be opening on day one with South Australia’s first high-field MRI dedicated to the state’s pets.
