Affectionately known as Dr Bill, Dr William Bowman became Proserpine’s first full-time veterinarian when he established Proserpine Vet Surgery in 1975. Over the decades, the clinic has grown into a trusted pillar of the community, now approaching its 50th year of service.
Dr Bill dedicated his career to caring for the region’s animals and their owners, providing full-time veterinary care until his retirement in 2010. In the 1990s, he was joined by Dr Faye McPherson, who began locuming at the clinic and quickly developed a strong bond with full-time nurse Billye-Jean Stevens.
In 2003, Dr Faye joined Dr Bill in partnership, and together they set the foundations for the modern, dynamic practice it has become today.
Proserpine Vet Surgery remains deeply committed to its community, embracing the motto: “Friendly country service you can rely on.”
Dr Faye and her dedicated team pride themselves on offering affordable, high-quality veterinary care tailored to the individual needs of each customer.
“One customer’s wants are often something different to another’s, and we cater to all,” Dr Faye explained.
As an integral part of Proserpine’s history, Dr Faye is proud to support local junior sports and community events.
Reflecting on the clinic’s legacy and the region’s charm, she said, “Proserpine is a close-knit community, and I wouldn’t be anywhere else.”
Looking ahead, the Proserpine Vet Surgery team remains steadfast in their mission to serve with confidence, compassion, and integrity, ensuring a bright future for animals and their owners alike.
