Brian Goy
Dr Brian Goy has been at MVH since March 1977. Having been with the practice for over 25 years, Brian says he loves the fact that he can help clients whom he has known for a long time now. He keeps his veterinary knowledge up to date by attending regular seminars in small animal medicine and surgery. Outside work, Brian’s main interests centre on his young family. He has two boys and Brian is involved with teaching reading and sports at the local primary school.

John Ley
Dr John Ley started at MVH in 2005. John is a keen surgeon and has attained his Membership (in Surgery) of the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists. He also has an interest in feline medicine and has completed a Masters of Veterinary Clinical Studies. John is an accredited veterinarian for the Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) which means he can deal with all the necessary requirements for taking pets overseas. He is also an academic associate of the University of Melbourne and coordinates Veterinary student work experience at MVH. John says he has had lots of lovely experiences as a veterinarian but perhaps the best is seeing how happy people are when their sick or injured pet recovers and is back on their feet again. John owns two German Shorthaired Pointers, called Cricket, Griff and a domestic shorthaired cat called Spit. He also owns a tank full of Rainbow Fish. In his spare time, John, a mad Magpies supporter, enjoys keeping fit and spending time with his wife and twin boys.

Stephen Kalff
Stephen started at MVH in April 2007 having returned from a two year stint working as a veterinarian for a large companion animal hospital in the UK and backpacking around Europe. Prior to his travels, Stephen worked in one of Melbourne’s a Veterinary Emergency Hospital and so he has a special interest and experience in emergency medicine and surgery. His other special interests include oncology and surgery and he is pursuing extra study in these fields. Stephen has recently become an accredited veterinarian with AQIS and so, like John, he can assist clients with pets who need to travel overseas. In his spare time he likes to walk Maggie, his 4 year old German Shepherd. On the weekends he plays hockey and gets the adrenaline pumping by going mountain-biking and snowboarding. A keen supporter of the Geelong Football Club, he was very proud to witness the mighty Cats win the 2007 premiership at the G.

Caroline Perrin
Caroline started at MVH in June 2007. She has worked in Melbourne and spent a couple of years working in the United Kingdom and travelling around Europe. After becoming fed up with the English “summers” she decided to return home to settle in Melbourne. She holds a special interest in behavioural medicine, and has attained Membership of the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists in this field. Caroline continues to feed her passion for animal behaviour through further research and study and when not working at MVH, she maintains a behavioural consultancy business. She owns Lily, a lilac Burmese cat, who is a great source of fun and mischief. When she is not working, studying or being harassed by Lily, Caroline is a keen distance runner and regularly competes in half marathons.
