Meet the Team

Dr Claire Norton

Partner and Veterinary Surgeon

Dr Claire Norton

Dr Claire Norton joined the practice in 2004 and became a partner in 2008.  Dr Norton has an infectious enthusiasm that permeates in all that she does within the practice.  She is based primarily at the Bulwer Street Vet Clinic, but also consults on most weekdays at the Hibberdene Vet Clinic.

Dr Norton’s compassion towards all animals is well known and she has a particular interest in birds and surgery.  Her approach to diagnosis and management of sick animals is very practical, while also keeping abreast with new ideas, knowledge and equipment that ensures the practice continues to give its patients not only good and caring nursing, but also the best veterinary solution we can offer.

Dr Norton is married to Mike Clark and together they have built up a macadamia farm where they live with their toddler, James, who gives them great joy.

When not on duty Dr Norton enjoys the outdoors, including camping and fishing.  She shares her home with many dogs and a variety of feathered friends (Macaw, Cockatoo, African grey & 2 Conures)

About Dr Claire Norton

Dr. Hugo Voigts

Veterinary Surgeon

Dr. Hugo Voigts

Dr Hugo Voigts grew up on a farm in Izotsha and then went on to graduate from Onderstepoort in 1985. He worked in a mixed practice in the North West province for many years before returning to the family farm in Paddock, to farm a variety of enterprises whilst running a small Veterinary practice in the district. Hugo soon realized that his passion in life was Veterinary science and the joys that come with it. This led him to join the SPCA performing welfare work in 2008 and in 2009 Hugo joined our practice and brought with him experience and practical knowledge valued greatly by his colleagues.

Hugo is married to Gerda, who is a school teacher, and together they have 2 daughters and a son. All three children have followed in daddy’s footsteps, one becoming a vet, the next a farmer and lastly a vet nurse and farmer.

Hugo is passionate about everything he does in life, but his main passion lies in nature with birding, camping and fishing being high on his list. He and Gerda share their home with a menagerie of dogs and cats.
