Memel Vets

11/11/2024

Hello, I'm Sune Steenkamp, the receptionist and assistant at Memel Vets. With six years of experience in this role, I can confidently say that I truly love my job. The opportunity to work closely with both patients and clients, including customers and farmers, is incredibly rewarding.

I thrive in the "plateland" lifestyle that Memel offers, where building relationships with clients and their animals extends beyond the office into a social setting.

My dog, Nyhati, is my constant companion, and the ability to bring him to work is a special perk. Memel feels like heaven on earth, with its beautiful setting perfect for taking my dog on walks and adventures.

In my free time, I enjoy socializing with friends, appreciating "sokkie" and music, and making the most of the outdoors through swimming and traveling. Sharing these experiences with my loved ones is particularly special.

As a strong believer in the power of kindness, I always strive to be a positive influence in any situation

Hi, I’m Dr. FJ Langenhoven—please call me Jaco! I’m excited to join Memel Veterinary Clinic as a Veterinary Surgeon. I graduated in June 2024 from the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Košice, Slovakia, and have been passionate about animal health from a young age.

I grew up in Hoedspruit, surrounded by both medicine and wildlife. My father is a doctor, and my mother is a midwife and psychiatric nurse; their careers inspired me to pursue a path that combines my love for animals with a commitment to health and well-being.

Starting my career in Memel was an easy choice—I was drawn by the expertise Dr. Neil and Dr. Heather bring to the clinic, including their knowledge in Epidemiology, Acupuncture, Rehabilitation, and Integrative Medicine. I strongly believe in the One Health concept, which recognises the essential link between the health of wild, domestic, and farm animals and human health. Disease control, quality nutrition, and the humane treatment of animals are all factors that impact the quality of our lives.

In my vrye tyd geniet ek dit om vis te vang, te jag, en natuurlik ‘n lekker braai.

I’m thrilled to be a part of this team and look forward to meeting you and your animals.

Hi, I'm Dr. Heather Nixon.
I have always had a love and admiration for animals and nature. Combining that with a thirst for knowledge led me to the field of veterinary science.
After qualifying from Onderstepoort in 2000, I traveled to the UK and to New Zealand, where I broadened my knowledge on both "the ways of the world", as well as my profession. I also learned about myself.
In 2008, I embaked on a different journey of starting a family, and in 2010, we opened our practice, Memel Veterinary Clinic. And so the shy little girl from a suburb somewhere had fulfilled her goal and followed her dream...
Then i decided I could do more! In 2020, i completed my certificate in acupuncture from the Chi University of Florida.
The i decided to do a years course in veterinary physical therapy and rehabilitation. I absolutely loved this new adventure, especially seeing the wonders it could achieve, and I am now working towards my masters degree in "Integrative Veterinary Medicine."

Live your passion, and you'll love life!
