After 23 years at Melbourne Veterinary Specialist Centre, Dr Greg Burton has finally decided to hang up his otoscope and retire. We cannot thank Greg enough for his dedication, time and unmatched expertise that he has given over all of these years to MVSC and all of our Dermatology clients and patients. Words cannot describe how much the clinic will miss Greg, however we wish him all the best for the next exciting of his life travelling around Australia in the Caravan.
Greg has now finished as of the end of 2023, please note due to this, the Dermatology department will no longer be consulting out of the Frankston AEC as of 2024.
