Mag. Med.Vet CertES(Orth) MVM PhD

Specialist Equine Surgeon & Sports Medicine

Raf was born and raised in Austria where he graduated from vet school. An early interest in horses saw him learn to ride and he dabbled in dressage until vet school became too busy.  Since graduating he has worked in Germany, Belgium, Scotland, and the US both in busy private referral hospitals and academic institutions.

Marrying an Australian along the way meant that Australia would invariably become his second home. Now a father of two, he enjoys spending time with his family when not working or indulging in his vices – coffee and cycling.  Raf’s expertise in equine surgery and sports medicine along with his training in acupuncture combine to bring the newest developments in veterinary care to his patients.
