Meet our friendly and professional team:

Pat Chan - Senior Veterinarian

BVSc (Merit)

Howdy! I’m Pat. I am the lead veterinarian at Dr Paws lane Cove. After graduating from the University of Sydney I have worked in busy small animal practices in Penrith, Parramatta and Strathfield. I love all aspects of small animal general practice, however I have a special interest in dentistry and soft tissue surgery. I look forward to leading the team Dr Paws Lane Cove and continuing to provide the best customer service and veterinary care we can to our furry patients and clients.

I am the owner of two cats, Tigger the grumpy tortoise shell, and Oscar the naughty ragdoll. When I am not working I enjoy the outdoors, travelling, snorkelling, snowboarding and eating lots of food!

Rachel Braude -Veterinarian

BVSc

I am a small animal veterinarian who has been working in Sydney since 2016. I love providing quality care to all dogs and cats, and will always be excited by newly adopted puppies and kittens walking through the door.

In my spare time I enjoy yoga and exploring new cafes and restaurants. I also love spending time with my special needs pets, including my cat Sangna and Maltese Shih Tzu cross dog Phyllis.

I started my nursing career back in 2006 In a small animal practice in the western suburbs. From there I studied for 4 years to become a qualified Certificate IV Veterinary Nurse. 

I took on the role of Practice Manager in August 2017.

I have a keen interest in managing my patients with endocrine diseases.
On my weekends off I enjoy going to dog friendly cafes and restaurants with my 7 year old beagle Ringo.
