OUR VETERINARIANS
Dr Jennifer Millar
BVSc (Hons 1)
Owner & Principal Veterinarian
Dr Jennifer is the senior veterinarian and owner of Cammeray Veterinary Hospital. After graduating at Sydney University with 1st class honours, Jennifer began her career in the mid-north coast working at a mixed animal practice. This gave her an opportunity to hone her surgery and diagnostic skills across all types of animals from cattle to red belly black snakes! She looks back to her time in a country as an important foundational period for her determination to solve the issue at hand.
More recently, she’s spent the last 10 years living and working in the area. At home she has her hands full with a husband (Chris), Kelpie (Peach), Chihuahua (Pokey) and her son George and daughter Valerie.
As a Cammeray local, Jen’s excited to bring the best possible veterinary care to the growing animal community.

Dr Helen Iconomou
Veterinarian
Dr Helen grew up in Sydney surrounded by a variety of pets including rabbits, dogs, ferrets, fish, mice and birds and this fostered her love of animals and her dream of becoming a vet.

She returned to Sydney and started her veterinary career at a general practice for a year before moving back to Brisbane to work at various small animal practices including emergency work and a community vet clinic that provided essential vet care to pet owners who were unable to afford such services.
In 2023, Helen returned back to Sydney with her husband and three rescue cats Stella, Stavros and Mila.
Helen enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine but has a particular interest in internal medicine.

Karmen then returned to Sydney after two years and found her feet in Double Bay where she developed a love for surgery. This love blossomed into a passion which saw Karmen pursue further studies in Small Animal Surgery and in 2022 passed her exams to become a Member of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists.
