Semaphore Veterinary Surgery – Dr. Bruce Wells

Semaphore Veterinary Surgery is an independently owned, community-focused veterinary practice in Semaphore, South Australia, established in 1999 by Murdoch University graduates Bruce Wells and Alison Booth. The team operates from a purpose-built, state-of-the-art hospital on Semaphore Road and serves pet owners across the LeFevre Peninsula, Port Adelaide, West Lakes, Queenstown and surrounding areas. They emphasize preventative medicine and regular wellness care to keep pets healthy, offering tailored health and wellbeing support alongside diagnostic services and individualized treatment plans. The clinic provides a full range of medical and surgical care — from elective procedures to emergency surgeries — including soft tissue and orthopaedic surgeries, desexings, dental work, lump removals and wound repair. For young dogs they run a five-week puppy pre-school designed to socialise puppies and establish good behaviour. A dedicated team of experienced veterinarians and nurses deliver hands-on care and practical advice, and the practice also offers flexible payment options through VetPay to help owners manage unexpected treatment costs. The clinic highlights a strong commitment to pet health and an active, community-oriented approach to veterinary care.
