Stephen Crouch Email & Phone Number

Stephen Crouch (better known as Steve) earnt his Veterinary Degree graduating with honours from the University Of Melbourne in 1992. Since then he has practiced as a small animal veterinary surgeon in the North Eastern suburbs of Adelaide, in the United Kingdom, at the Adelaide Veterinary Emergency Centre, and over the past decade here in Gawler. In 2013 Steve joined Dr David MacPhail as a partner here at Gawler Animal Hospital and was an integral part of the development of the new hospital premises. Toward the end of 2020, due to Dr Dave’s retirement Steve took on ownership of the practice along with his wife Anne.Soon after marrying, Steve and Anne travelled to the UK for one year which turned into nearly seven years abroad. Steve managed a busy small animal practice in greater London. Steve and his family returned to Adelaide in 2004 to take up residence near Gawler. As a vet he appreciates the deep levels of concern that owners experience when their pets are injured or unwell.Throughout his veterinary career Steve has had a keen interest in surgery in particular and believes that blood should stay inside the body as much as possible! He’s a very skilled and meticulous surgeon and takes referrals from a number of regional practices for orthopedic cases (leg fractures, cruciate ligament damage, patella instability and other conditions).The opportunity to move into a managerial and now ownership role at the Gawler Animal Hospital proved very exciting, especially as it married Steve’s enjoyment of treating and caring for animals with his love for being involved in the wonderful community of Gawler.
