Joao Dib
Joao Dib first came to Totally Vets as a student back in 2003. He showed so much enthusiasm in these early days that we decided to give him a job.
He has many aliases, as his name is tricky to pronounce. He is often referred to as Jo, Joel or Jao so we have decided to call him Dr Dib to avoid any confusion. His origins are also slightly confusing. He is not Maori, South African, from the Islands or Italian. He is in fact Brazilian and hails from Sao Paulo.
Dr Dib lives in Ashhurst with his wife Anne and two sons Miguel and Thomas. His daughter Sara lives and works in Wellington. The boys are very talented cyclists but Joao is finding it harder to keep up with them having just hit his half century! He has recently turned his attentions to woodwork, growing veggies and chasing deer in the hills.
While he is a great large animal vet, he has a particular passion for equine dentistry.
