Dr Noor | Small Animal Veterinarian, Mobile Vet Practitioner – Western Australia

I’m a small animal veterinarian who has dedicated over two decades of my life to veterinary science and 18 years to veterinary practice —not merely as a job, but as a calling.
Over the past 18 years of practicing veterinary medicine and science, I’ve encountered the sickest of the sick patients and had the privilege of working alongside some of the brightest minds in the veterinary medical and medical professions. Every consultation I take today, every procedure I perform, stands on the shoulders of that hard-earned experience. It’s never “just a 15-30 minute job”; it’s the product of a lifetime of learning and deep clinical understanding.

What defines my clinical approach is careful thinking, clear communication, and genuine care for both the animal and their family. I don’t rush cases. I don’t upsell. I focus on what’s real, what’s practical, and what’s medically sound. I’ve managed countless medical and surgical cases—some straightforward, many extremely complex—and through it all I’ve learned one thing: calm thinking before acting and steady hands save more lives than clever talk and showmanship ever will.

My mobile veterinary practice was born from a desire to offer pet owners a more personal and less stressful alternative to traditional clinic visits—especially for pets who are elderly, anxious, or fragile. I see animals in the comfort of their homes, where they feel safest.

My goal isn’t volume—it’s quality. There’s no mad rush of 15-minute cases (I once was told by a colleague: “do five-minute history and examination, three-minute drug dispensing, two-minute advice, and five-minute notes). That’s not medicine to me. At least, it’s not the kind I was taught to practice, nor the kind I believe in. I only take on what I can do well—and I’ve come to the wisdom of knowing what I don’t know. When that happens, I either refer the case to someone more experienced or dedicate time to learn—whichever best serves the wellbeing of the patient.

My background in academic medicine, surgical training, and real-world small animal practice—combined with a passion for lifelong learning—means I bring both breadth and depth to your pet’s care. But more importantly, I listen. I always take time to hear your concerns, and I always develop a set of appropriate options and explain them to you clearly and respectfully along with estimates of costs of each option. I discuss the purpose of every treatment or diagnostic step, and while I won’t make decisions for you, I’ll always share what I would do if your pet were mine.

I believe trust should be earned—not demanded. I aim to build strong, respectful relationships with clients who value honesty, professionalism, and long-term care—not shortcuts, quick fixes, or price bargaining. If that sounds like the kind of vet you’re looking for, I’d be glad to help.

As a child growing up in a metropolitan apartment, I tried to keep every animal I could find or convince my parents to buy for me. From silkworms, frogs, bees, various types of fish, parrots, Casco, finches, turtles, pigeons, and chickens, to cats and dogs—I was endlessly fascinated by them. My last dog, Lucy, lived to the remarkable age of 18 years and 9 months. And the name of my very first pet—when I was probably three or four years old—was Abtulus, a name I dreamed up in my childhood imagination.

For as long as I can remember, I was drawn to the veterinary profession. I used to think: how lucky are vets, seeing so many animals every day—and doing it as their job! By the time I turned 18, I knew I wanted to become one.

However, what seemed like a lovely, rewarding career turned out—right from the beginning—to be a path filled with long hours, deep study, sleep deprivation, and personal sacrifice. Learning how a healthy animal body works, then understanding what happens when it becomes diseased, all while comparing species as different as horses, cattle, dogs, cats, birds, and fish… it was mind-boggling. A single leg in a dog has more than 800 distinct features—each with its own Latin name (not English); things like “Musculus extensor digitorum lateralis longus manus” or “Ligamentum femoropatellare mediale” – to memorise and compare across species!

There were days and nights filled with hope and hopelessness, pride and shame, success and defeat…

I didn’t land here by chance.

I earned my place through 12 years of schooling, followed by a year of intense preparation for the university entrance exam—competing among 500,000 applicants and ranking within the top 1,600.

I completed six years of full-time study in general veterinary medicine (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, DVM) with high distinction at a leading university in Iran—a country with over 7,000 years of culture, science, and history. Most veterinary graduates in the world stop there. But my passion for surgery drove me further. I sat a highly competitive national exam to enter a surgical specialty program in Iran, which led to another 4.5 years of full-time advanced training in surgery. I graduated as a board-certified veterinary surgeon in Iran. I was offered a position at the University of Western Australia as manager and surgeon of their animal intensive care unit. That opportunity brought me to Perth over 11 years ago.

A few years later, I undertook 1.5 years of rigorous study to pass the Australian Veterinary National Examinations to practice as a General Veterinary Practitioner—a demanding process that included a six-hour theoretical exam with more than 300 questions covering all areas of veterinary medicine, along with more than ten practical exams and interviews across multiple animal species. All of this took place while I was simultaneously mastering a new language, navigating immigration barriers, and reshaping my skills within a different veterinary system.

Throughout my career, I established my own practice in Tehran and worked in several veterinary clinics in Iran and Australia. These shaped me in profound ways. It taught me resilience, adaptability, and a deep respect for the many ways people care for their animals across cultures.

Today, I bring that international perspective into every consultation—blending high clinical standards with compassion and thoughtful care, tailored to each pet and their family.

That journey—from raising silkworms and butterflies as a child, to the operating rooms of Tehran, and now the living rooms of Perth—has taught me what truly matters: a genuine love for animals, calm presence, honesty, and high-quality care. That’s the standard I bring to every case.
