Practice Management at Pittwater Animal Hospital
Dr. Heidi, Dr. Eamon, and Dr. Jill are the senior veterinarians and owners of Pittwater Animal Hospital. As a family-run practice with no corporate oversight, operational decisions are made collaboratively by the partners and our skilled practice management team.
Our management team is dedicated, capable, and a pleasure to work with.
Practice Manager – Sarah Yelavic
Managing a large veterinary hospital requires strong leadership, and Sarah has been a vital part of Pittwater Animal Hospital for over 10 years. With a background in pet care, she began her journey as an aspiring veterinary nurse before moving into reception management and ultimately becoming Practice Manager in 2021.
Sarah’s dedication to PAH and her proactive, solution-oriented mindset make her our go-to person for tackling any challenges. She continues to refine our office protocols, striving to minimize unexpected issues—though, of course, surprises are part of the job!
Sarah leads a committed customer care team that stays busy but always prioritizes delivering excellent service. Thanks to her efforts, PAH has streamlined communication with online options for booking Appointments, Puppy School, The Cat Hotel, and Adoptions, as well as contact forms for medications and new client registration.
