Dr. Jess Bowen
Jess has a particular passion for surgery with expertise in advanced soft tissue procedures and an interest in orthopaedics.
Meet Jess, who joined our team in 2025 after relocating to Eltham in early 2024. A graduate of The University of Nottingham in 2013, Jess initially worked in the UK before visiting Australia on a working holiday in 2017. What was meant to be a short-term stay turned into a permanent move, as she quickly fell in love with the Australian climate, people, and pets.
Before settling in Eltham, Jess spent several years in the Northern Territory, where her veterinary work was as diverse as it was adventurous. In addition to caring for cats and dogs, she treated camels, darted kangaroos, and even patched up a dog following an encounter with a crocodile.
Jess has a particular passion for surgery, with expertise in advanced soft tissue procedures as well as an interest in orthopaedics. She takes pride in providing gold standard medical care and building lasting relationships with her clients. Alongside her work with dogs and cats, Jess is also happy to see small furry patients like rabbits and guinea pigs.
When she's not at the clinic, Jess enjoys spending time with her young family, her energetic Labrador, and her son's two spiny stick insects.
