From One Paw To Another Proserpine Vet Supporting Proserpine

Affectionally known as Dr Bill, Dr William Bowman was Proserpine’s first full time veterinarian. The business is now nearing 50 years young.  Dr Bill gave full time care and attention to the community until his retirement in 2010.

Dr Faye McPherson began locuming for Dr Bill in the 1990’s and loved working with fulltime nurse Billye-Jean Stevens so much that she then permanently joined Dr Bill in partnership in 2003.  Since then, the practice has continued to expand and develop to what it is today.

Proserpine Vet Surgery wishes to serve each and every resident in Proserpine, with confidence, compassion and integrity.

“We are a friendly country service you can rely on – this is our motto and mantra,” Dr Faye explained.

“We offer a wide range of treatments in an affordable way. We strive to give the best service possible and to serve our community the way they wish to be served.  One customer’s wants are often something different to another and we cater to all. It’s a team effort and each and every staff member is vital in the work we do.”

Dr Faye is honored to be a crucial part of Proserpine’s history, and she proudly sponsors many junior sporting clubs and various other Proserpine events.  She looks forward to the next chapter in Proserpine’s future.

“This part of the world is lovely. The climate is the best. The mix of clientele is truly interesting.  Proserpine is a close-knit community and I wouldn’t be anywhere else!”
