Hartley Valley Vets
Welcome to Hartley Valley Vets. We are a modern and well equipped veterinary clinic located at the base of the Blue Mountains. At Hartley Valley Vets we see all varieties of animals, from companion animals, like cats and dogs, to horses and farm animals.
✨🐾 Introducing Dr Cillian Coleman!
You may have seen this familiar face whizzing around the practice recently! Cillian has been a familiar locum for Hartley Vets over the years but has now accepted a permanent position with us! We are thrilled to have you Dr Coleman!
________________________________
After knowing he wanted to be a vet from the age of 4, Cillian went on to graduate from the University of Sydney and began mixed practice work in the Central West. Since then, he has spent a few years as a locum. He has a keen interest in true mixed practice and a desire to offer as many services for as many species as possible. Since graduating he has completed courses in Equine Dentistry, Point-Of-Care Ultrasound, Small Animal Fracture Repair and in 2023 was admitted as a member of the Australian & New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists (ANZCVS).
Coming to Hartley Valley Vets, he hopes to continue to expand his skills further to offer more for his patients and clients in the years to come. When not working, Cillian loves his sport, woodworking, gardening, and bushwalking, but he loves nothing more than spending time with his dog/best friend/travel companion, Oisín – affectionately called ‘Oosh’ by all others
I can speak first Hand, he is a very special vet, nothing phases the man, he goes out of his way to explain and confirm why he has come up with his Diagnosis for your pet, he really does care, welcome aboard the Heartly vets family🙋♀️🐈
So glad to see Cillian becoming permanent there, he was so calm and skilful with stitching my mare
Would be nice since we paid for blood tests that you would give the results not say she needs to be booked in first the blood tests were paid for so why do we need to pay to get results again
Thankyou for looking after Blinky (Husky)for the past couple of months or more actually . With your care and guidance we are are healed !
Yay finally more vet's welcome 🤗
She has healed really well
