Our History
Report
Dr Bill Robinson established Karingal Veterinary Hospital at 210 Karingal Drive and operated from this converted display home until 1995. In that year the Hospital was purchased by Dr Scott Tinson with the objective of developing one of the premier veterinary hospitals in Australia.
Realising the original facility could not grow and provide the necessary level of services and equipment for the future, a vacant block of land on the corner of Cranbourne Road and Karingal Drive was purchased from the City of Frankston in 1997.With all the practice staff present, along with many family, friends and of course long standing loyal clients the ribbon-cutting service was held with great excitement.
