MEET THE SOUTHERN CROSS TEAM AND OUR PRACTICE PETS
Dr Peter Kroon has been practising veterinary medicine since 1987. He has a special interest in anaesthetics, dentistry, fishing and gardening - not necessarily in that order!
Dr Alma Kerr graduated from Glasgow Veterinary School in 2000. She is proud to have been born in N.Ireland but enjoys the weather in her adopted country more. She joined the Southern Cross team in 2004 and became a partner in 2008. Dr Kerr has four cats, Gromit, Midge, Smurf and Harley, and two dogs, Libby, an English Springer Spaniel and Lewis, a chocolate Labrador. Libby became a Breed Champion in 2008 at just 19 months of age and both dogs are training for competition obedience with Libby having qualified at Novice level. Alma is a self-confessed chocaholic!
Carol has been part of the Southern Cross team since 2007. Prior to this she worked at a veterinary clinic in East London for 9 years. She has two adult sons and a very vocal elderly Siamese, Sushi, who is the head of the household!
Tanja is the mother of three beautiful, four-legged children - Zoeloe, Lalie and Yogi. Yogi, a retired Guide Dog, is well known at the practice as he accompanies Tanja to work. Tanja has been working for Drs Johnson and Kroon for more than a decade and with Dr Kerr since 2004. There is a special place in Tanja's heart for our elderly practice cat, Azriel.
Our kennel staff assist our vets and keep our practice clean. They will be happy to carry food purchases to your car or help you if your pet is not too keen on paying us a visit. Our kennel staff bath dogs every morning during weekdays. Mike is our senior kennel person and has been working at Southern Cross since 2000.

Dr David Johnson has been practising veterinary medicine since 1987. He enjoys the challenges of small animal medicine and surgery, and has a great love of birds. Fishing is another passion and he is always somewhere on the sea on his time off.
Tanja and Debbie are our morning reception team.
Louise and Carol are our afternoon reception team.
Louise has been part of the Southern Cross family since 2005. She has two pets - a very fluffy dog named Lucy and a tabby cat named Lily. Lucy came into Southern Cross as a stray in 2005 and Louise just had to take her. Lily was saved from the traffic on Cape Road as a tiny kitten; she also crept into Louise's heart and home. Now, like most cats, Lily rules the roost! Louise's interests include horse riding, gardening and flower arranging. Her lovely flower arrangements can often been seen at reception.

Debbie has been part of the Southern Cross family since 2001 and she loves her job. She is married with two beautiful daughters. Her four-legged family consists of her gorgeous cat, Gucci and two Malamutes, Shivago and Wolfie.
