Dr Melissa Cresswell
Veterinarian
Dr Mel has a gift for making connections with both the humans and pets. She often gets complimented about her bedside manner and has gained a bit of a following! She graduated from Veterinary Science at Sydney University with Dr Christie, but then fled life down under for an exciting 11 year stint in the USA. After being unable to resist the pull of the beach and Aussie lifestyle, Mel, her husband and their 3 kids and dog returned to the Central Coast in 2022 and have not looked back. Murray the dog is slowly losing his American accent, the kids not so much! Mel's special interests within the veterinary field are dermatology and palliative care. Outside of work, she's a dance mum, soccer mum and surf wife. Sometimes she manages to find time for her own loves, such as gardening, crocheting and sewing.
