The Animal World Clinic Team

From a young age, Dr Geetha has always had an affinity to animals. Inspired by James Herriot, she qualified as a veterinary surgeon from Glasgow University in 1992.
She has worked in small animal practice ever since in both Singapore and the UK.
With a passion for animal welfare, she established a sterilization programme for stray cats and dogs in Langkawi Malaysia which evolved into LASSie (Langkawi Animal Shelter and Sanctuary) Foundation, a non-profit dog and cat rescue organization.
As Max her rescue dog will confirm her first love is for cats, on which her work has been centered for the past 5 years. However, she now has come full circle returning to her roots in general practice and helping community animals of all types.

Dr Geetha is also a strong believer in alternative treatment modalities such as Reiki ,Essential oils ,Bach Flower remedies and Laser therapy to complement the traditional Western treatment options .
At the end of a long work day Dr Geetha looks forward to walks with Max and also watching her favourite Netflix series with her cats Kiko, Princess and Tommy by her side.

Pathma graduated from Massey University, New Zealand in 2016 and has been practicing in Singapore for the past 3 years. She is passionate about advocating for the welfare of all animals big and small. She believes in a holistic approach to veterinary medicine and is open to learning about new treatment methods regardless of whether they are in line with mainstream Western medicine or not. She is a bookworm who can always be found with a novel in her hands during her free time.

"On her off days, she enjoys going for hikes and spending time at home with her husband and their geriatric cat."

It is often said that the working world is stressful. For me, it's the other way around - being a Vet Tech brings me relief from the daily stresses of life.
Doing what you love equates to a life filled with passion, and that makes me a better person too.
Just as the saying goes, 'You can tell a person's character by how they treat animals.'

I'm a firm believer of the saying, 'If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.' 
Monday blues definitely don't apply to me.
Working with stray animals has opened up a whole new perspective - I'm determined to provide each patient with a sense of comfort and safety, even if the impact is miniscule. It's most rewarding being a spectator of an animal wagging its tail and having a meal for the first time.

I’m a thrill seeker, and I thrive on adventure. The role of a Vet Tech fits my personality perfectly.
The anticipation that comes with the job, the fast paced and dynamic environment drives my motivation and passion for this industry. I take pride in being competent in the skill of gaining the trust of fear-aggressive patients who come to us.

Being able to trace the progress of an animal come back to health from a deterioating state is what makes the blood, sweat and tears worth the job.

Working with animals has always been a passion of mine since childhood, and working at the clinic has been a very eye-opening and rewarding experience so far. No two days are the same, which makes it all the more interesting, and there’s nothing more rewarding than being a part of an animal’s road to recovery!
