Olivia Baker
Veterinarian
Olivia is a small town Kiwi girl, originally from Pahiatua. She completed her veterinary degree at Massey University in Palmerston North in 2007 and went to work in rural Otorohanga in the Waikato. Here she gained all sorts of experience from calving cows, unpacking alpacas, tending to kiwis at the Kiwi House to mending lots of farm dogs and saving pig dogs. Olivia stayed in the Waikato for six years working at various clinics, such as Te Kuiti and the Waikato After Hours Hospital.
She now focuses her expertise solely on small animals and enjoys being thorough with each case and getting to the bottom of each of her patients’ concerns. She has special interests in ophthalmology, ultrasound and cytology, but loves all aspects of her clinical practice.
Olivia lives locally with her husband David, three children, two dogs, two cats and two chickens. You’ll be able to catch Olivia at Otaki Vets on Thursdays, Fridays and some Saturdays. The rest of the time she’s wrangling her motley crew at home.
