  • Our Services

    Findon Vet Surgery offers a comprehensive range of professional veterinary services to cater for all your pet care needs, utilising the latest diagnostic equipment.

    Vaccinations

    Prevention is the best medicine. Kitten and puppy vaccinations (injections) and adult pet vaccinations prevent disease. Get your pet’s vaccinations up-to-date.

    Desexing

    Getting your pet desexed (neutered or spayed) is essential to their health. All Greencross Vets facilities are completely sterile and use the latest in surgical equipment.

    Heartworm Prevention

    Heartworm can be hard to detect, but it needn’t be hard to prevent. Greencross Vets recommends year round heartworm prevention. Ask your vet about prevention today.

    Dr Samantha Tindal

    Dr Samantha Tindal

    Veterinary Director

    Dr Samantha graduated from the then brand new Adelaide University Vet Degree in 2013. She packed her bags and moved to rural NSW to work in mixed practice for four years. There, she got to see everything from pet dogs and cats to stock and horses, right through to wedge tailed eagles. She returned home to Adelaide to join the Seaton and Findon Veterinary family at the start of 2017.

    Dr Samantha enjoys many aspects of veterinary medicine and in particular enjoys working with ‘exotic’ pets.

    Outside of work she loves camping and scuba diving and looking after her menagerie of animals. She has three dogs: a greyhound called Tinker, a greyhound cross called Az and a borzoi called Nim. She also has lots of exotic pets including snakes, lizards, goannas and frogs, and has previously owned rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, spiny leaf insects and fish.

    Dr Krista Gregory

    Dr Krista Gregory

    Veterinarian

    Dr Krista graduated from Flinders University in 2010 with an Extended Major in Biological Sciences, minoring in Zoology. From there, it was certain that she had to further develop her skills in veterinary medicine and went on to complete both Veterinary Bioscience and Doctors of Veterinary Medicine Degrees at the University of Adelaide, graduating in 2016.

    Throughout veterinary school and 2 years post-graduation, she worked in a small animal practice in Adelaide before starting at Findon and Seaton Vet.

    She has a keen interest in developing her feline medicine and hopes to gain membership to the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists.

    Her fur family consists of a beautiful 57kg Bernese Mountain Dog Aurora, a ratbag of a Beaglier named Apollo, and her curious rescue kitty Milo.

    Her husband Chris and Dr Krista are parents to two lovely girls and recently welcomed a beautiful baby boy into the world.

    Dr Graham

    Dr Graham

    Veterinarian

    Graham graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2009, and moved to Australia from the Scottish Highlands the following year. He started working for Findon and Seaton vets in 2016, and has been a trusted and familiar face ever since.

    Having previously worked for the RSPCA, Graham has a strong focus on animal welfare, and will always put your pet’s best interest first. He enjoys surgery, and he’s happy to discuss more advanced surgical options with you.

    Graham lives with his fiancée Amanda, and they are expecting a baby girl in the near future. He also lives with a tyrannical feline called Ava, and he’s currently “between dogs”. In his spare time he enjoys camping, hiking, and spending time by, on, or in the sea.

    Dr Sharna

    Dr Sharna

    Veterinarian

    Dr Sharna graduated from The University of Adelaide in 2018. She started her veterinary journey with the Animal Welfare League, and has been working with us since 2020. Dr Sharna grew up taking her pets to see Dr Ian at the Findon Vet Surgery, which inspired her decision in becoming a veterinarian. Now, she has an interest in surgery, and is a sucker for giving in to your pets’ puppy dog eyes and giving too many treats!

    When she’s not working, Dr Sharna can be found spending quality time with her fiancé, Stefan, and annoying their two cats – Slinky and Sassy! She also enjoys a bad pun, learning new recipes, and going for scenic walks.

    Dr Molly Oshiro

    Dr Molly Oshiro

    Veterinarian

    Dr Molly Oshiro joined our clinic in 2022 after graduating from the University of Adelaide in 2021. Originally from Japan, she spent nine years in China before moving to Australia for veterinary school. Fluent in Mandarin, Japanese, and English, she invites clients to schedule consultations in either Mandarin or Japanese, if clients prefer to do so.

    Molly has a special interest in small animal dentistry and has pursued additional training to deliver the highest standard of dental care for cats and dogs. She firmly believes that caring for pet owners is just as important as caring for their pets. By building strong relationships with clients, she ensures that each pet receives personalised care tailored to their needs and circumstances.

    Outside of work, she enjoys hosting picnics where she can connect with friends and family. As well as brewing various types of tea, taking the time to explore different flavours and traditions.
