Dr Terry King was born and raised in Townsville, North Queensland. He graduated with his Bachelor of Veterinary Science from the University of Queensland in 1975.

​

Over his 19 years in private practice in Brisbane’s north western suburbs, Terry accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience in small animal practice.

After a year’s sojourn in the USA and Brisbane’s Animal Emergency Centre, Terry joined the University of Queensland Veterinary Teaching Hospital in late 1995 as a medical resident.

​

He went on to become the Director of the Clinic and Hospital in 1997 and again in 2002.

​

Terry joined the team at Veterinary Specialist Services as a Director in 2003.

Terry’s real passion arises from the emergency side of veterinary practice, particularly the intricacy of understanding and treating the critically ill.

​

He is highly committed to family veterinary medicine, emergency and critical treatment and prolonging the human-animal bond.
