OUR STORY

Dr Diederik established Greenhills Veterinary Hospital in 1990, transforming it from a struggling one-man practice into a thriving regional veterinary hospital servicing the wider Hunter Valley. Under his leadership, the business earned numerous Australian Veterinary and non-Veterinary awards for excellence in customer service from 1996 to 2005. After selling Greenhills, Dr Diederik moved to the Southern Highlands and took over HIGHlands Veterinary Hospital in May 2018. His passion for high-quality veterinary care, combined with years of expertise, continues to drive the clinic’s success today.
