Dr Mark Sayer
Veterinarian
I graduated from Sydney University in 1983. After working in clinics around Sydney, I moved to Wagga and opened Berry Street Veterinary Hospital and Junee Vet Clinic. During the next 18 years, I and a small handful of dedicated nurses worked the two practices, including making weekly visits to outlying towns in order to see animals far away from vet hospitals.
I now work at our numerous vet hospitals now, Kooringal Vet Hospital, Junee Vet Hospital, Federation Vet Hospital, Henty Veterinary rooms, Cooper St Veterinary Hospital in Cootamundra and Griffith Vet Hospital.
I have 2 dogs and 4 cats in the family as well as 7 beautiful children. You will often see me in the practice with 'Monkey' my Pomeranian X, who travels all over the Riverina visiting the practices. In my spare time I enjoy refereeing the real football (soccer) and am qualified to referee the A-League, I’m just too old and not fit enough. LOL.
I have completed Veterinary Chiropractic training in Germany and have recently developed my surgical and medical skills with marsupials with a strong following of loyal clients who travel from all over Australia to visit me. I’m in the process of finishing my MBA and Masters of Marketing at Deakin University.
I absolutely love flying as I have my pilots licence and enjoy the freedom of travel it brings.

Kiri Westphalen
Senior Clinic Veterinarian
I graduated from Murdoch University in Perth. Since 2014 I have been working with Mark and a year later, I bought a small farm so that I could follow my other passion (vetting being the first); goats! After 3 kidding seasons, I have 115 beautiful Angora Goats and still rising. I’ve attended the World Buiatrics Conference in Cairns in 2014 to learn the latest on production animals with speakers from all over the world. Now I can better attend all our fantastic, farming clients. I am also Ovine Brucellosis Accredited, an APAV Vet and Hendra Virus Vaccine Accredited. In 2018, I returned to university to start my Masters Research Degree on, you guessed it, GOATS!
But the roots of my practice is my work with our canine, feline and avian friends. I especially love seeing birds. I’ve completed additional training in Avian Medicine so I’d love to see your feathered family, from chickens through to emus!

Sharlet Rose
Veterinarian
I graduated from the College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Kerala, India in 1997. After working as a Government Veterinarian with Department of Animal Husbandry (which is the Indian version of the Department of Primary Industries) for 12 years, I moved to Australia with my family in 2010. I cleared the National Veterinary Exam with the Australasian Veterinary Board Councils (AVBC) in 2013. Since then I have been working with Mark at Kooringal Vets.
I love working with animals particularly Australian natives. These are so different from the natives of India where my patients included several elephants! I find it satisfying doing work for rescue groups and animal shelters and watching homeless animals leave to new loving homes. My particularly veterinary interest is pathology; I’m even contemplating going back to university to learn more about analysing pathological materials and diagnosing diseases through laboratory results.
I like to spend my free time with my family which includes my husband, two beautiful daughters and our retriever puppy Lassie. My other passion includes cooking, gardening, classical Indian dance and watching any show that makes me laugh.

Veterinarian
I recently graduated from Charles Sturt University and have the privilege of joining the wonderful team at Kooringal Veterinary Hospital. I grew up in the beautiful NSW south-coastal town of Narooma and enjoyed helping with the operations of my dad’s native fish hatchery and spending time with the other animals on the farm including dogs, sheep and goats.
After a gruelling 6 years of vet school, I am ecstatic to be finally able to share my love for animals with the passionate pet owners who trust the safety of their pets with Kooringal Vets and I am lucky to be working in one of the happiest work environments going around. As a vet, I hope to bring an enthusiastic and honest approach to providing the best and most affordable healthcare for your treasured pets.
Outside of work you can find me enjoying most of my time with my partner and two young girls. I also enjoy being in the outdoors doing activities such as fishing, camping and water skiing. I believe approaching life with positivity and a smile is the best antidote to the busy and stressful journey that each day brings.

Veterinarian
I graduated from the University of Sydney in January 2021 and started working at Cooper Street Veterinary Hospital soon after. Originally from Sydney, my partner and I moved to a hobby farm in the Hilltops region in 2020 where we have plenty of space for our many dogs, cats, horses, sheep, chickens etc. Besides my love and passion for animals, I thoroughly enjoy meeting owners and chatting about their pets - it is the amazing human-animal bond that puts a smile on my face each day! Outside of the vet clinic, you might find me reading a good fantasy novel, strumming a tune on my guitar or trying to keep up with the endless weeds in the garden!

Practice Manager / Vet Nurse
I have lived in Cootamundra my whole life & have been working at the Cooper St Vet Hospital since 2007. I have a menagerie of animals at home including 3 dogs, 1 cat, 2 rabbits, 2 birds, 1 sheep & 6 chooks. I am also a licensed wildlife carer so more often than not I also have possums, macropods, native birds & flying foxes in care. Outside of work I love to travel & have volunteered in several countries with wildlife rescue organisations. My favourite by far was volunteering in an orangutan rehabilitation centre in Borneo.
